Consultations take place at the surgeon's own clinic, Karatepe Klinik. His site gives the address in Teşvikiye, Şişli, and also describes him as based in Nişantaşı. It does not name a hospital where he operates. The practice confirms in writing where any surgery would take place. Before you commit, ask the practice to state in writing where any surgery would take place, who the facility's licence holder is, and which accreditation, if any, covers that facility.
