General information only
All content on this Site is provided for general information only. It is not intended for diagnosis, treatment planning or medical intervention and in no way replaces a physician’s examination or specialist opinion.
Please do not start, change, stop or postpone any medication or treatment on the basis of information on this Site. For any health concern you need a one-to-one consultation with a physician. Treatment recommendations are made only after a personal assessment of your history, examination and test results.
No doctor–patient relationship by website or message
Using the Site, filling in the contact form, or exchanging phone, WhatsApp or e-mail messages with the clinic’s staff does not by itself create a doctor–patient relationship. We do not provide diagnoses, treatment decisions or prices through the contact form or by message. This Site and its forms are not for emergencies: if you have an urgent medical problem, contact your local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department.
Results and individual differences
Every patient is different. Descriptions of procedures, case examples and figures on this Site illustrate individual situations; they are not a promise or guarantee of a particular result and do not imply that the same method or outcome will be suitable for another patient. All surgery carries risks, which are discussed with you before any decision.
Patients from other countries
The Site is addressed to people who may consider consulting the practice in Istanbul. The availability, regulation and advertising of medical services differ from country to country; nothing on this Site is an offer or advertisement in any country where it would be unlawful. We do not state treatment prices on the Site. If you are travelling for treatment, please consider follow-up care in your home country and discuss it with your own physician, check whether your health insurance covers treatment abroad, allow enough time in Istanbul for post-operative check-ups, and ask about travel and flying after surgery. Complications can occur after you return home; ask before treatment who you should contact in that case.
Links to other websites
The Site may link to external websites (for example PubMed, ORCID, YouTube, WhatsApp, Google Maps and HealthTürkiye, the Turkish Ministry of Health’s international-patient portal). We do not control and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
Intellectual property
The texts, images, logo and design of the Site belong to Prof. Dr. Hanifi Şahin or are used with permission. They may not be copied, republished or used commercially without written permission.
Personal data and cookies
How personal data is processed is explained in the Privacy Policy and Data Protection Notice; the use of cookies is explained in the Cookie Policy.
