Every year, residents of Zurich travel to Turkey for dental treatment, hair transplants, cosmetic surgery, and holidays. When things go wrong, getting resolution from Switzerland feels impossible. That's where we come in.

Patients from Zurich frequently travel to Turkey for cosmetic dentistry — veneers, dental implants, full-mouth restorations — as well as hair transplants and cosmetic surgery. The savings compared to Switzerland prices are significant, but so are the risks when clinics cut corners on consent, aftercare, or transparency.
When something goes wrong — unexpected charges, botched results, clinics going silent — you're thousands of miles away with no clear path to resolution. Turkish consumer protection law works differently to what you're used to in Switzerland, and most local solicitors can't help with cross-border disputes.
The most common complaints from Zurich residents involve dental clinics changing prices after arrival, hair transplant results falling short of promises, car rental companies charging for pre-existing damage, and hotels adding undisclosed fees. In medical cases, the most serious issues involve inadequate consent forms, missing aftercare protocols, and clinics refusing to engage when complications arise.

Check Your Clinic Risk →If you're in Zurich and still planning your trip to Turkey, the single most important thing you can do is document everything. Get the full treatment plan in writing before you travel. Confirm the price in writing. Ask about complication insurance. Check if your clinic holds HealthTürkiye authorisation. And get an independent assessment before you commit.
