I had double jaw surgery and a septorhinoplasty with Dr. Burak Sercan Erçin for obstructive sleep apnea in late March and I love the result! We were able to achieve an amazing functional AND aesthetic outcome.
The pre-op consultation was professional and thorough - we discussed my functional and aesthetic goals, as well as any miscellaneous questions I had.
My surgery was at the John Hopkins Anadolu Medical Center Hospital, I spent a few days there post-op. The nurses and staff were excellent and extremely attentive.
Prior to discharge from the hospital, Ezra personally assisted us in finding all of the proper medications and equipment at the hospital pharmacy for optimal recovery at our hotel.
We met with Dr. Burak around 1 week post op and a few days prior to my departure - elastics were installed, he confirmed all was healing well and my bite was exactly as we planned.
I wish I could give Dr. Burak and his staff 10 stars for the excellent service and result, but I guess 5 stars will suffice!
TL:DR - 5/5 stars for excellent service (pre, intra, and post-op), staff, and functional/aesthetic surgery result.
Dr. Burak is one of a very few selective surgeons specializing in life altering surgeries. It is rare to find a doctor with such caliber, since the majority focus on cosmetic interventions only, forgetting the real wok in reconstructive surgeries. Highly recommended in need of a medical intervention and/or a second opinion.
Ekibine ama en çok çok Burak beye nekadar kadar teşekkür etsem azdır 14 ay once meme kanseri sebebiyle mastektomi yapıldıktan sonra protez takildi yapıldığı günden beride enfeksiyon olma sebiyle sürekli antibiyotikler kullanıyordum çektiğim ağrılari hayat kalitemin tamamen düşmesini bahsetmicem bile üstelik hiç geçmeyecek bir enfeksiyon için 1 yıl ugraştim ve doktorum protezin çıkarması gerektiğini bile söylemedi tamda bittim ben dediğim an karşima çıkan Burak bey enfeksiyonlu protezlerden kurtarip karın bölgesinden aldığı kendi dokumla aynı zamanda karın germe ameliyatı yaparak beni hayata dondürdü doktorluğunun hakkını veren önce kendine sonsuz güvendigini hissediren ve sonrasında sizin de yaparsa Burak bey en iyisini yapar dedirtten acilarama son verip hayitmi bana tekrar hediye eden doktor minnatirim dualarimda her zaman olacaksınız.
Yaklaşık 3 Yıl önce Burak Hoca’ya rinoplasti ameliyatı oldum.Artık kendimi Daha özgüvenli ve iyi hissediyorum.Hocamızın ellerine emeğine sağlık,başarılarının devamını diliyorum.

Burak bey meme büyütme operasyonumu gerçekleştirdi. Ameliyat öncesi ameliyat esnası ve sonrası süreç gayet konforlu gerçekleşti benim için. Hastane personelleri ilgiliydi. Burak bey’in asistanı Ebru hanımda çok ilgili ve yardımcı oldu süreçte. Tekrar teşekkürler
I had few consultations in the UK but I wasn't entirely confident if they could get me to my desired size. But when I found Dr Burak and had my initial video consultation with him, I instantly knew he was the right surgeon and so I travelled from the UK to Turkey. Dr Burak is a highly skilled surgeon. He is very knowledgeable, attentive, professional and yet so humble and kind. He ensured I was comfortable throughout the entire process, both before and after my breast reduction surgery. He's very patient and approachable. He answered all my questions in depth, never rushed me at any moment and listened to all my concerns.
I would like to say a big thank you to Dr Burak and his team at Medical Park Hospital for providing me with excellent service and the best care, I had such a wonderful experience. His assistant Ebru was really lovely and helpful and very quickly responds to my questions and requests. All the nurses and hospital staff were equally as lovely and caring. I'm really glad I chose Dr Burak as my surgeon. My result is everything I wanted and even exceeded my expectations and I've had a such a smooth recovery with no problems. I highly recommend Dr Burak to anyone, he's truly a gifted surgeon, he's a magician!
Teşekkür mektubu!
