Turk Health Expert was founded by Zekeriya and Kevser Türk in 2008 on a principle that sounds obvious but is surprisingly rare in Istanbul: the surgeon who consults you is the surgeon who operates on you — personally, from first extraction to final graft. Sixteen years, 20,000+ procedures, and 40+ countries later, that principle has never changed.
When Zekeriya Türk began his career in hair restoration, he observed something that troubled him: clinics where the surgeon appeared briefly — to design the hairline and greet the patient — while a team of technicians performed the actual surgery. Extraction, implantation, the hours of precise work that determine whether a transplant looks natural or artificial: delegated entirely.
He founded Turk Health Expert in 2008 with a different model. Every extraction is performed by the surgeon. Every follicle is implanted by the surgeon. No hand-off. No technician team. The person whose name and reputation are attached to your result is the person doing the work.
Kevser Türk built the patient experience around the same principle of honesty. Transparent pricing — one price includes everything. Honest timelines — no exaggerated promises on growth speed. Honest suitability assessments — if someone is not a good candidate, we say so rather than take their money. That directness has built the trust that brings patients from over 40 countries.
Together they created something that international patients recognised and valued: a clinic where the quality of the surgical work matches the quality of the customer care — in one all-inclusive package at a fraction of Western European prices.
Performs every FUE and DHI procedure personally — extraction and implantation. Specialist in Afro hair transplant, advanced Norwood cases, and hairline design for patients from 40+ countries. Over 20,000 procedures since 2008.
Oversees all patient care, international coordination, and clinic operations. Architect of the all-inclusive transparent pricing model and the 20-month follow-up programme. Multilingual patient support in English, French, Arabic, and Spanish.
These are not marketing claims. They are the operational decisions that shape every patient experience at Turk Health Expert.
Zekeriya Türk personally extracts every follicle and personally implants every graft — in every procedure, for every patient. This is not standard in the industry. At Turk Health Expert, it is non-negotiable. Your result reflects the surgeon's work, not a technician team's.
Our all-inclusive pricing is exactly that. Hotel, transfers, PRP, coordinator, post-op kit, follow-up — included. No per-graft charges. No "upgrade" pressure on arrival. No invoices you weren't expecting. The price you agree before flying is the price you pay.
We review your photos and give you an honest recommendation — including when surgery is not yet the right choice, when your donor area is insufficient, or when realistic expectations differ from your goal. We would rather lose a booking than set a patient up for disappointment.
Most clinics treat Afro hair like any other procedure. We don't. We have adapted tools, specialist extraction angles, and Fitzpatrick IV–VI protocols specifically for Black patients. Traction alopecia, CCCA, male and female Afro hair loss — individually assessed and treated.
Your care does not end when you board the plane home. Online check-ins at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months. Your surgeon personally reviews your progress photos at every stage. If something is not developing as expected, we address it — not ignore it.
English, French, Arabic, and Spanish coordinators. French-speaking team specifically for West and Central African patients. From first WhatsApp message to final follow-up photo — communication in your language, not a translated template.
Sixteen years of building a clinic around surgical integrity and international patient trust.
Zekeriya and Kevser Türk establish Turk Health Expert in Pendik, Istanbul. The founding principle: the surgeon must personally perform every extraction and implantation. The first international patients — from the UK and France — arrive within months.
The clinic adopts the Choi DHI implanter pen as its primary technique — achieving 90–95% graft survival rates. DHI becomes the recommended technique for hairline restoration and density work, and remains the most popular choice for international patients.
Recognising the absence of specialist care for Afro-textured hair in Istanbul, the clinic develops dedicated protocols: adapted micro-punch angles for curved follicles, Fitzpatrick IV–VI keloid screening, and traction alopecia treatment for Black women. French-speaking coordinators are introduced for West African patients.
The clinic marks its 10,000th procedure for an international patient — from Nigeria. By this point, patients are arriving from over 30 countries across Europe, West Africa, the Middle East, and North America. The 20-month follow-up programme is formalised.
The No-Shave DHI technique is offered as a full package option — allowing professionals, executives, and women to undergo hair transplant without any visible signs of the procedure during recovery. The technique is immediately popular with UK and French patients.
Turk Health Expert has now performed over 20,000 procedures for patients from 40+ countries. The founding principle — surgeon-led, transparent, honest — remains unchanged. Every procedure is still performed personally by the founders.
Sixteen years of consistent, surgeon-led results for international patients.
Istanbul has hundreds of hair transplant clinics. Patients who research carefully consistently identify the same differentiators when they choose Turk Health Expert — and when they refer friends, family, and colleagues afterwards.
Not just the consultation and hairline design — the actual hours of extraction and implantation. Patients who have researched the industry know this is not standard.
From the first WhatsApp message to the 18-month follow-up photo, responses are prompt, honest, and in the patient's language. No disappearing after payment.
Black patients from across the world specifically travel to Turk Health Expert because of the dedicated Afro specialist protocols — not generic DHI performed on Afro hair by an unprepared team.
No surprise extras on arrival. No per-graft charges mid-procedure. One all-inclusive price agreed upfront — and that is the invoice on departure.
In many Istanbul clinics, a surgeon designs the hairline — typically 15–20 minutes of the procedure. A team of trained technicians then performs the extraction and implantation over 6–10 hours. The result depends entirely on their skill, not the surgeon's. At Turk Health Expert, Zekeriya Türk performs all extractions and all implantations himself.
Per-graft pricing creates a conflict of interest: more grafts = more revenue. All-inclusive pricing removes that pressure entirely. The surgeon recommends what you need — not what maximises the invoice. Our one-price model is the reason patients trust our assessments.
Hair transplant results take 12–18 months to mature. Our follow-up programme runs for 20 months — with check-ins at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months. Your surgeon reviews your progress photos personally at every stage. If something is developing unexpectedly, it is caught early — not discovered when it is too late to address.
"What sold me was simple — the surgeon does the actual surgery. I researched 12 clinics. Most were honest that technicians do the work. Zekeriya does it himself. 16 months later the result speaks for itself. Natural, dense, permanent."
"Ce qui m'a convaincu c'est la transparence totale. Le prix annoncé est exactement ce que j'ai payé — hôtel 5 étoiles, transferts, PRP, tout inclus. Kevser a répondu à chaque question avant et après l'opération. Service parfait."
"They were the only clinic that told me honestly what I could and couldn't achieve before I booked. Other clinics promised me 5,000 grafts. Zekeriya said 2,800 was right for my donor density. He was correct. The result is exactly what he described."
