Aesthetic plastic surgery

Special thanks to my doctor Daghan Isik, my highly efficient coordinator Selin, and finally to Dag for his invaluable help and patience. I highly recommend Safa Hospital to anyone considering surgery of any kind. Above all, it was very clean and the staff strictly followed all coronavirus rules and guidelines.

Facelift

My entire experience — from the first phone call to returning home after surgery — was 100% positive. Honestly, I could not be happier. All the staff: coordinator Damla, translator Volkan, and my amazing, talented, compassionate surgeon DAGHAN ISIK along with his lovely assistant. The nursing care was excellent. The whole package was truly positive, and my result is far better than I expected.

Breast reduction and lift

I am very grateful to Daghan Hoca and his team. He performed the breast reduction and lift surgery I had been afraid to have for years, very successfully. I am now in my third week after surgery, and I believe it will only get better. It felt like a heavy burden had been lifted from me, and thanks to Hoca I am free of it. As a person — truly a humble and decent individual; my respect to his mother who raised him.

Aesthetic breast surgery

My very dear doctor Daghan Hoca performed aesthetic breast surgery on me a week ago. For the trust he instilled in me from the consultation through the postoperative period, for the successful and smooth course of the surgery, for the satisfaction with the result — I express my endless gratitude to him and his wonderful team, who were by my side 24/7. With each passing minute I feel more and more that I made the right choice.

Cleft lip repair (cheiloplasty) — pediatric

When Daghan Bey was working at Izmir Katip Çelebi University Atatürk Training and Research Hospital, he performed lip surgery on my son Mustafa Nevzat, who is now 19 months old. We had also planned palate surgery with him, but unfortunately it did not work out. Things are going very well for us now, God bless Daghan Hoca. First and foremost, Daghan Hoca is a true friend to people — a doctor you can go to for surgery or a consultation with complete peace of mind.

Cleft lip and palate repair — pediatric

The doctor performed lip surgery on our child who was born with a cleft lip and palate. The surgery went very well and successfully. When we were counting the days until the palate surgery, we learned that he had left Izmir — we were very upset. Both as a surgeon and as a person — one of those rare people you do not often meet. May his path be open.

Maxillofacial (jaw) surgery

Daghan Bey is truly the ideal doctor and a very good, very understanding person. Two years ago he performed jaw surgery on me and I was very satisfied. He is an expert in his field — you can trust him with your eyes closed. This year he performed surgery on one jaw for me, and I was again very satisfied — no problems after the surgery. His contribution to me is enormous, thank you very much.

Cleft lip and palate repair — pediatric

My daughter was born with a cleft lip and palate, but thanks to Daghan Bey, very successful work was done. There is no trace of the previous condition now. My daughter is 18 months old now, and there is not even any nasal speech. In my opinion, he deserves much greater recognition in his field, but it seems his humility gets in the way. May his path be open. I hope he will be appreciated.

Plastic surgery in a patient with type 1 diabetes

I am a type 1 diabetic, so this was a high-risk surgery for me — but Dr. Daghan Isik truly took care of me and took extra precautions to ensure my safety and recovery. As for the surgeon, Dr. Daghan Isik and his surgical team (two men) were also fantastic — I have no complaints about them. The only criticism was with the hospital nurses after the procedure. (The rating of the surgeon himself is maximum.)

Aesthetic body contouring

My surgery was scheduled for the following day at noon, but it was delayed due to an emergency, and I waited until 4:00 PM. My doctor was Dr. Daghan; I met him before the surgery along with his assistant. He seemed to assess my body and asked what I wanted to achieve from the surgery. I told him my expectations, he asked if I had a reference image — and I showed him one.

Aesthetic plastic surgery

Daghan Isik is a very informative and knowledgeable doctor. I felt confident that he would be my surgeon. It has been 6 weeks since the surgery and the results are amazing. He is attentive, answers all my questions and concerns, and his staff is very caring. The aftercare specialist Cagri is very responsive — after my return to the USA he contacts me weekly.

Aesthetic plastic surgery

I am very pleased with the result. My coordinators were Alara and Ismail. Ismail is the most wonderful and kindest person — a great asset to Clinic Centre, he made my experience much better. My surgeon was Dr. Işık Dağhan — a very kind, detail-oriented person who listens to all your wishes; he is a genius in his field. I am very glad that he was assigned as my surgeon.

Aesthetic plastic surgery

Dr. Daghan and his team — there was also another woman whose name I do not know, who works with Dr. Daghan; his assistants are very friendly, and I felt at ease with them. If I had to point out one downside — the hospital nurses could have been a bit more polite and had difficulty understanding English. The medical care was excellent, the surgeons are top-class, and Dr. Daghan listened to my wishes — I got exactly the result I wanted. (Rating reduced to 4 due to complaints about hospital staff, unrelated to the doctor himself.)
