A wonderful family of doctors and patients. Their behavior, their efforts, their smiles, their warm glances, their care and attention—it was as if they were part of the family. I felt like I was visiting an older brother or sister, forgetting how sick I was. You are the wingless angels this country must never lose. You gave my children a mother and my parents a child. No other doctor would have accepted me before you, but you, with your experience and superior skills, helped me get back on my feet. My friends and family had given up hope, but you gave them hope. Words cannot express how grateful I am. May God grant you ease in all your endeavors. May your healing hands and your comforting faces, like those of a psychologist, never see sorrow or worry. Thank you so much for your efforts. You taught me that 50% of healing is having kind eyes. Thank you for everything. Translated fromTurkish

I had an amazing experience with Prof. Dr. Mehmet Bozkurt and their team. His expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail were outstanding. Terrible car accident left me with 2b/3 degree face burn. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Bozkurt gave me possibility for the new start in life for what I am eternally grateful. The results are great. The entire staff was kind, supportive, and always available to answer my questions. I highly recommend Prof. Dr. Mehmet Bozkurt.

I have came from Australia to Turkey to visit MT Clinic, Health/Beauty. I had the best experience with Prof. Dr Mehmet Bozkurt and his wonderful
wife Tugba Bozkurt.
I had a non-surgical face lift Morpheus, Botox, Chin Liposuction and Blepharoplasty surgery with Prof. Dr Mehmet Bozkurt. I also had lazer treatments performed by Tugba Bozkurt. My procedure and recovery process was pain free and quick- finalising with amazing results. I have been receiving countless compliments from family and friends.
I could not thank Prof. Dr Mehmet Bozkurt, Tugba Bozkurt and their team enough for their amazing services. They provide great service with strong attention to detail and professionalism.
Thank you so much!

I have been following my treatment with my esteemed doctor since I was discharged from the burn unit and gradually started using my fingers again. After emergency surgeries on my joints, we went to see him, and he welcomed us very warmly and provided us with detailed information. After some time (exactly one year after the burn incident), we went to see him again, and he explained the process to us once more. Beforehand, Ms. Tuğba transitioned to the appropriate areas with the BBL laser, and then we performed our operation within a day. After injecting fat into my scar and dark burn areas, she transitioned with the laser. After 7-10 days, the skin integration was complete, and we began waiting for the process to progress. Currently, my aesthetic appearance is improving, and the scar areas are decreasing. I can now wear dresses and short sleeves. I no longer need to camouflage my hands with gloves when I go out. Of course, after the treatment, I spent all my days at home during the summer, staying away from the sun and not neglecting my skincare. We will be meeting again soon for the second session. I would like to thank Dr. Mehmet, his dear assistant Ms. Ayşe, and Ms. Tuğba again :) Translated fromTurkish

The doctor in question was appointed as an expert witness by the Provincial Health Directorate following my complaints to Cimer (the Turkish Presidential Complaint Center) regarding a botched nose surgery in which excessive bone and cartilage were removed. After a meeting following the completion of my 1.5-year treatment, he examined my nose and declared the surgery flawless, thus preventing any administrative, legal, or financial action against the doctor with his report.

I knew next to nothing about Dr. Bozkurt. I'd seen his work on Instagram and decided to see him with my eyes closed.
But immediately after the first consultation, he made a very good impression on me; he's a true professional. I didn't need to say much; he knew exactly what I needed and how.
After the surgery, daily doctor visits were mandatory; I could contact him with questions and concerns at any time of the day.
Thank you so much for everything, Dr. Bozkurt and your team. Translated fromRussian

I want to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Mehmed. It’s not the first time I have contacted the clinic about a non-surgical face lift Morpheus 8 and Botox. The doctor does his work efficiently and accurately. I am immensely grateful to the team and Dr. Mehmed for his approach. Highly recommended.

When I met my dear doctor, Mr. Mehmet Bozkurt, it was during the most painful and challenging time of my illness. At the same time, I had become hopeless, accepting that I would spend the rest of my life with this disease. Five surgeries, different doctors, hospitals, and zero solutions. If a doctor saves a patient's life, then that doctor is my doctor. He restored my quality of life, my joy, and most importantly, my health. I thank him and his valuable wife, Mrs. Tuğba, for everything. I'm so glad we still have such talented and educated doctors in our country who are pioneers in their fields 🙏🧿 Translated fromTurkish

My daughter's left leg was crushed and injured in the earthquake, and we were told it would have to be amputated or fitted with a cane. We started looking for a way to avoid amputation. Through a relative, we reached Professor Mehmet Bozkurt. Thanks to his treatment, my daughter is now walking. Her leg was not amputated, nor was a cane made. May God bless him and his work. I highly recommend him. Translated fromTurkish
