My son was born with a cleft. We traveled to Europe for several surgeries and saw top-notch doctors. The last and greatest was Dr. Hakan. He is an artist in his field. In addition, he clearly explains all procedures to parents. I recommend Dr. Hakan Aguir and acibadem hospital!

cleft palate
Hakan Agir is a plastic surgeon with golden hands. He performed a real miracle - saved our son from a congenital defect that several doctors in our homeland could not cope with. And Dr. Hakan - sewed up the cleft. I found out that he also performs other operations in the maxillofacial area and former patients are very grateful to him and call him DOCTOR with a capital letter.

cleft palate
Our favorite doctor is Hakan Agir. He performed a cleft palate surgery on our daughter. It's been 3 years, now everything is great. I recommend the doctor to everyone who has children with the same diagnosis.

Cleft lip and soft palate
My daughter had a cleft palate and cleft lip. We did the surgery in Turkey with plastic surgeon Hakan Agir. After 2 years, there are almost no traces on the lip. The child also began to speak better. I am very satisfied with the doctor. I will recommend him. An excellent specialist.

Hakan Agir sewed up our daughter's lip so that the scars are almost invisible. Thank you very much. He operated in the Acibadem clinic.

Ameloblastoma
Almost an year ago I got an incredible help from Dr. Natalia. The determining the diagnosis and looking for right treatment was scary experience for me but Dr. Natalia not only confidently organised the process but also supported me morally. I am so thankful to her for finding me a perfect surgeon Prof. Hakan Agir and scheduling the whole process. She always was ready to give me detailed response on all my questions. After surgery in June 2022 I went to Istanbul two more times for examinations in October 2022 and March 2023 and these both times Dr. Natalia was there to help me with communication with doctors and organising my visit to Turkey.
Thank you Natalia!
