WARNING BEWARE COWBOYS DANGEROUS

WARNING - use “Professor” Bekir Atik at your own risk. They do not give good results and try to delete any negative comments so they look like they are fantastic. Well they aren’t. They are unprofessional, rude and disrespectful. The nurse, Liva is kind and seems genuine but Dr Mehmet, Dr Atik and Neslihan should not be working in the medical industry. My friend has just started legal action against them and has discovered the law firm are already preparing a couple of other cases against them too. When things go right they are all kind and seems genuine genuine but if you have problems they become very unprofessional and they either ignore you or their behaviour turns to childish insults.

Dr bekir atik has great vision.

Dr bekir atik has great vision and is a warm respectful surgeon.
I came to safe medical for a extended tummy tuck, muscle repair, mons lift and breast implants.

My nurses Liva and alyana where very caring and respectful. I was very thankful for their support and care.
I feel like I've made friends for life.

Neslihan was wonderfully knowledgeable and warm ensuring she will be there for any issue from wifi issues to concerns about medication or pain.
Dr Mehmet who assists Dr atik is a lovely and humorous man who is knowledgeable and friendly.
Dr bekir is a genius yet humble man and despite issues with the after care medical hotel (which he was quick to try and repair) I have been left with positive memories and amazing results.

Dr Celal Candirli is a butcher

Dr. Celal Candirli botched my double jaw surgery. I wanted to correct a slight overbite, but his surgery left me with an open bite and facial assymetry. He performed the surgery poorly prepared. We met for a consultation at 6 pm and the next day at 9 am, there was the surgery. In fact, he operated on me on Nov 13 and on Nov 15 he decided to do a revision. The whole process resulted in injury. I now have difficulty speaking and eating. I have a constant pain in my right jaw. He disregarded all my concerns and blamed me for being an anxious patient. He is so arrogant and never took responsibility for his horrible surgery.
I consulted with three maxillofacial surgeons,who said I need a revision surgery for both jaws. Avoid Dr Celal Candirli at all costs.

Firstly, get well soon.
However, we do not know the Dr. Celal Çandırlı and you.
We are working with Doctor Bekir Atik. I think you commented to us by mistake.

We kindly request you to delete it.

Amazing Surgeon and staff

I underwent surgery by Prof Bekir Atik on 26th July. Tummy tuck, Muscle repair, liposuction and mons lift.

The care which I have received has been outstanding. A special thank you to Liva who was my personal aftercare nurse, she was so caring and attentive throughout my stay.
Also, Neslihan for communicating before and after my surgery and answering any questions, Prof Atik’s associate Doctor Memhet who visited me twice daily to check my progress was very knowledgeable, Yusaf who gave us excellent transfer services and lastly by no means least, Prof Bekir Atik for your amazing work and reassuring bedside manner. You explained everything very well and made me feel in safe hands throughout. You truly are an expert in the field of plastic surgery.
The care here in Istanbul Safe medical is excellent and I am so happy with my results and would highly recommend you.

From the start of my journey Neslihan the head nurse explained the whole process prior to my trip
On arrival I was greeted by yusuf who took us to the hospital where my nurse Liva was at the entrance awaiting me
I had my consult with Prof Dr Bekir Atik and the whole team the morning of my surgery he explained everything to me put my nerves at ease
The after care was second to none , I couldn’t have asked for better treatment
I am still recovering as I only returned home a day ago
The surgery result is amazing better than I could have ever dreamed of ❤️
I am so grateful to Prof Dr Bekir Atik and his wonderful team

You will be in good hands, trust me

As Michelangelo once said, "Every block of stone has a statue within it and it is the sculptor's job to find it."
This is how Professor Dr. Bekir Atik in his job.

Professor Dr Bekir Atik and his team consisting of another very talented doctor Dr. Memet, his lovely assistant Neslihan and his very helpful and kind nurses Livanur and Kardelen are simply top league in terms of knowledge, implementation and follow-up on aesthetic issues and procedures.

At the end of August I had a very long aesthetic combination surgery. My arms, legs and tummy were tightened because I had a lot skinsaging after I lost 50 kg of weight.
When I was researching for clinics and asking around, some clinics turned me down, some doctors didn't want to do such a big surgery, recommended that I do this surgery step by step, or money was the issue.
With Professor Dr. Bekir Atik wasn't like that. It took a short while before I got a clear yes or no after my request. But his decision was solid and well thought.

Dr Bekir Atik is honest and has a lot of experience. He accomplishes in collaboration with Dr. Memet masterful performance on the human body. I was skeptical at first because Dr. Bekir seemed aloof but upon examination, his actions and skill spoke more than words. After a while I got warm with him. I trusted the skills of both doctors blindly. These two doctors are just over the top! Super professional and still honest and human. Treatments are not just a money issue.

Neslihan is the chief nurse, the patient advisor and the all-rounder on this team. In addition to medical questions, she never left me alone for a second with any other questions. I can attest to the fact that I have both cried and laughed with her. Just a great and professional person. I can write to her at any time, even after the treatment, if I have any questions.

The two nurses, Kardelen and Livanur, are made of sugar. They are patient, open, understanding and respond to all questions and requests. Very warm and professional.
If anything is unclear, the team is very well connected. You won't be forgotten. And feedback comes quickly.

The only criticism of the "Safe Medical Istanbul" concept is the aftercare of the procedures.
Points such as raised seats for the restroom or possible lymphatic massages or massage rollers would be the bonus, THE EXTRA that would make this team and the concept perfect.
After the surgery it was very difficult for me to use the bathroom because everything was sore and painful and the seat in the bathroom in the clinic was too low.
The massages or massage rollers could also have worked against swelling.

I was not in the hotel a few days after the operation. I preferred to stay at the Ersoy Clinic with the two nurses at my side.

I would like to thank Professor Dr. Bekir Atik and his team. I can recommend this doctor and his team with the respective concept with a clear conscience at any time and aesthetic intervention.

I highly recommend Istanbul Safe…

I highly recommend Istanbul Safe Medical if you are considering eyelid correction. I flew to Instanbul for my procedure and was put at ease right from the start. The whole process was explained to me and all my questions were answered. On the day of my procedure, I was really nervous but once I got there the staff made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Prof. Dr. Bekir Atik was really thorough with talking me through each step as he did it. After the procedure, they were quick to respond to any queries I had as I healed. I am so happy with the results, its even better than I had expected and can't thank everyone at Instanbul Safe Medical enough.

Professional and Trustworthy

I had an Otoplasty procedure performed on 25/05/2022 with Prof. Dr. Bekir Atik through Istanbul Safe Medical and I could not be happier with my new look!

I did my research and found Dr. Bekir's services and more importantly his amazing results, so I got into contact with Istanbul Safe Medical. Destina, who provided me with every single detail and information via WhatsApp was so helpful. She was very quick to reply and let me know what Dr. Bekir can do and what to expect from the pictures I sent. Excellent English, like speaking with a native.

Yusuf, my assigned driver was always on time and polite. He also spoke excellent English, which is nice as we were having conversations during the trips.

Finally on the day of the procedure at Ersoy Hospital, I had my own private room and met Dr. Bekir for the first time. He asked me to describe what type of result I want and what he is going to do. My assigned nurse Kardelen helped me a lot before and after the procedure.

Coming over from Dublin, Ireland, to a foreign country to receive cosmetic work was an issue as it is so hard to trust anyone with something so important, but I fully trust Dr. Bekir and his team. Trustworthy, honest and polite.

I am on the road to recovery

I am on the road to recovery from a Mommy makeover surgery. Istanbul Safe Medical have been fantastic, I’m so pleased I chose them. The whole team have been incredible, very professional, welcoming and most of all supportive. Excellent communication and advice given throughout. My new shape is even better than I could have imagined. During surgery I also needed a hernia repair and my stomach muscles had separated by 10cm which was repaired. If I didn’t have this surgery, then the hernia and muscle separation may never have been discovered or ignored by my own doctor. Thank you to you all.

Safe, competent, professional and transparent.

Dr. Bekir and Istanbul safe medical is an excellent place to go and get what you need done. From the doctor to the staff, all around excellent and genuine care and professionalism. I went back to see Dr Bekir two years later for a follow up appointment, I was treated the same way I was when I first came to Istanbul for the procedure. Doctor Bekir made sure that my nose is doing well and that everything was healing properly. Always greeted with a smile, hospitality, great care and transparency.

Destina is an excellent translator with fast and concise translation aptitude. She assisted me through the process on my follow up appointment which was much appreciated.
