Smile Hair Clinic opened in 2018 in Ümraniye, on the Asian side of Istanbul, on Alptekin Street in the Tatlısu neighbourhood. It was founded by two surgeons, Dr. Gökay Bilgin and Dr. Mehmet Erdoğan, who both still operate. Three more doctors are listed, namely Dr. Firdavs Ahmedov, an Ege University graduate with honours, Dr. Ali Osman Soluk from Istanbul University and Dr. M. Reşat Arpacı, who studied at Dokuz Eylül University.
In August 2025 the clinic received TEMOS accreditation with an A rating and says it was the first hair clinic in the world to earn that grade. The audit looked at medical services, nursing practice, international patient management, infection control, staff policies and building safety. The clinic is also registered with HealthTürkiye and describes its own True Planning method, which aims to choose grafts carefully and spare the donor area.
Prices are published as three packages. Gold costs €2,390 and includes two nights in a four-star hotel, Platinum is €3,290, and Diamond at €5,790 adds up to three nights in a five-star hotel with breakfast. Every package covers airport pickup and return and a personal interpreter on surgery day. Patients can ask to be operated on by one of the doctors personally, and it is sensible to have that confirmed in writing before booking.
The Google rating is 4.9 from almost 2,500 reviews, one of the larger review bases among Istanbul hair clinics. Several patients admit they read the reviews to check whether the clinic was genuine and then found it modern and spotless. People travelling alone describe calm logistics from the moment they landed. The website says little about a guarantee, so raise the question before you pay a deposit.
