Sources & verification

Compiled into the 2026-08-14 dataset build. No separate re-verification date is recorded for this clinic. Placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: KEPT AT TIER 3 AND MARKED PLAINLY AS THIN — this is a weak entry retained only because the physician verification is genuine and the failure mode documented in reviews is itself useful information for a reader. ISHRS profile 607225 fetched and resolves as 'Kaan Pekiner, MD | Hair Surgeon | Ankara, Turkey'. Site live (HTTP 200, redirects to non-www). Everything downstream of the ISHRS record is weak and must be published as such: the Google review base is tiny and SPLIT ACROSS TWO LISTINGS (Özel PHR Polikliniği 4.0 from 12; a separate 'Dr. Kaan Pekiner' listing at 1.0 from 1), reported separately and not merged. The negative reviews describe a specific and repeated pre-operative failure mode — prospective patients asked for photos and then ghosted, including one who reported waiting over two weeks in Ankara hotels without feedback. That is a concrete, actionable warning and is the main reason to publish rather than silently drop. The primary published contact number is Italian (+39), not Turkish, indicating the first point of contact is an overseas intermediary rather than the clinic. NO EMAIL IS RECORDED: the ISHRS listing shows an obfuscated placeholder rather than a real address and the site publishes none, so the field is left null — none was invented. No price, no displayed accreditation, no Trustpilot profile.
