Welfare Abroad Read Reviews

Had a very good experience with welfare abroad only 11 days in and everything is going as it should staff have been very helpful with any questions ive had

Overall good experience. Ulas and Richard were helpful in the process with the transations. Gamze Savas is an experienced doctor with 10+ years experience so I was quite happy that a professional was in charge of the surgery. Few things to note: - The technicians do most of the work which is expected at this price tag. Even surgeries that cost 10k+ upwards employ technicians and don't always come with a great result either. - The doctor/technicians don't speak really good English so once Ulas left I did feel somewhat nervous, but in the end it went fine and one particular technician managed to answer all of my questions/make some small chit chat. - The hotel and food were nice. All things considered it's hard to complain. It's worth noting I have some shock loss in the donor area which hopefully should go away in the next 6-12 months, other than that great experience and would recommend.

Got my hair transplant in sept 2024, I mirror all the previous reviews. From start to finish the communication is spot on, no one tries to force the sale. All my questions had been asked and answered before i left the UK. Arrived in Turkey for my lift to be waiting for me. My op was the next morning and my lift was in reception as I got there. Ulaş is a great lad and the instructions are crystal clear. I stayed in the IBIS which is a 3 min walk from the clinic. Staff in the clinic can’t speak much english but are very nice. Ulaş translates any information. Op took about 6/7 hours. Dinner provided. The day after you go back the clinic and they washed my hair and re-bandaged. You get all medication needed, a pillow to sleep on and a hat to wear. I only wore that hat on the plane to stop any infections. Filthy planes! Got more emails with instructions on when to wash hair etc. Again, very helpful. Total cost was less than 2 grand. They have got a winning process from start to end. Big shout out to Ulas, Even though the clinic is 3 mins away the role he plays glues it all together and offers so much reassurance. I travelled alone as well. Anyone who is considering this procedure but is worried about going to Turkey for it need not worry. The clinic is modern and spotlessly clean.

From start to finish my time in Istanbul was great . Pick up from and to the airport was Easy I never had to do anything except turn up. The hotel was fine and very close to the clinic. Ulash (host) was great gave me all the instructions and kept me right when I had plenty questions to ask The medical team were very professional and very friendly . They listened to what I wanted and gave me advice . The procedure went smooth - 8 hrs nearly so it’s a long day . The worst part is the injections of anaesthetic and over time it does wear off so I just let them Know and they topped me up. The trip was great and can’t wait to See results in the future. I highly recommend Welfare abroad . Patient care could be a bit better . Waiting days for replies when you have issues or concerns is a bit of a headache. Having to look online for advice is not ideal when I could be talking to someone from welfare abroad . Hair transplant was great would highly recommend. Patient care after could be better

Very pleased with the whole experience, from airport pick up, the whole team very friendly and professional. Had my reservations going abroad for surgery , without hesitation would recommend. A fraction of the price of Uk, modern clinic and fully regulated, thank you again !

Cost all in all Flights and hotel paid separately came to just short of £2000 GBP Flights I sourced separately. Hotel was sourced through Welfare Abroad Within ten minutes of arrival at Istanbul; transport arrived - 30 minutes drive to hotel in a spotless vehicle ' (A private minibus if you like) Simple and relaxing atmosphere' one which is extremely accommodating and fairly fluent English speaking. A fair amount of people had cosmetic procedures done so you did not feel out of place Breakfast was included in my package and was plenty. Procedure Consultation prior to the procedure was honest - Good assesment and provided me with enough understanding too make a decision and understand potential end result 8 Hour procedure - Lunch provided mid way through- To me the Lunch was sufficient Procedure - First 5 or ten minutes had some slight pain - following this a very smooth procedure with discomfort rather than pain Welfare abroad team (Surgeons/Technicians/Translator) Surgeon (main doctor) Gamze savas very supportive prior and conducted a fair amount of the initial work - Technicians as mentioned do the majority- very experienced and even supportive when I felt some uncomfortable following the adrenaline injection ' carried out observations as you would get in the united kingdom to ensure my safety Translator (Ulash)- Supportive enough' did however feel slightly left once the procedure was complete' advised to direct questions not to him and the aftercare team. Aftercare team have been brilliant with my questions following the surgery up to date - informative patient and very supportive with my post care questions surrounding the transplanted areas(location of graft distribution )and also support with information on how to get the best results. So far ' As mentioned I am only 8 days in. And as such I will be waiting patiently to see my brilliant results. - So far and from the experience extremely happy.

It’s not often I write reviews but I feel like this experience is worth giving people an insight to what welfare abroad are about and for anyone wishing to get a hair transplant. The service & communication from the start to sending your photos to the end of the transplant & after care is simply faultless. Everyone really cares about their job and how you want your hair to be and the professional job they carry out making sure you’re okay at all times. Not only was it that they were very easy to talk too about random every day to day things which I think is key in having such a long procedure which made it 100 times easier. Any one who is hesitant on contacting them should just go for it. You won’t regret it at all.

Just arrived back in the UK after my hair transplant, I was very happy with the whole trip from airport transfers, hotel transfers to and from the hospital and the procedure itself. I would recommend welfare abroad to anyone thinking about getting a transplant, a special thanks to Ulash, Dr Gamze, Richard and the technicians.

I originally paid my deposit for the treatment in Jan 2020. Then Covid 19 came along. Throughout, Welfare honoured the original deal which only lasted 12 months. Two years later, and my treatment was completed yesterday. Highly professional and easy to deal with. The process was very smooth and concise. Ulash was great and put me at ease with any questions I had. Now for the aftercare. But if it's as good as the booking and treatment process then they'll be no problems.

Extremely friendly and professional from start to finish. I would recommend the welfare abroad team to anyone thinking of having a hair transplant as it is daunting having a procedure in a different country. The care is absolutely first class and the cost is extremely reasonable considering it includes the procedure, hotel and transfers. The only thing you need to arrange is flights. It’s only been a few days since I had my procedure but I am wondering why I didn’t do it years ago as it was so straightforward. I am so pleased with the results. Thank you Richard, Ulash and your transplant team.

Where do I begin Communication on point, they NEVER insisted on anything or pressured me to make a decision it was all me Next, the hotel was good, the price was good, transportation from the airport to the hotel was on point. Clinic is 2 min walking from the hotel, very comfortable Clinic is big, clean, the staff were extremely professional They did 3900 grafts, a full job, 9 hour surgery , they clearly gave it their all. They prepare a vegetarian meal for me as requested. (I am vegetarian) Honestly I am extremely happy with my decision. Thank you Mr.Ulash, Richard and Dr.Savasas well as the technicians.

Great experience all in all from the welfare abroad team I’m glad I chose them to get my hair transplant, from getting of the plane to the hotel to the actual treatment centre it was a joy. I would like to thanks ulas who helped me the whole way. Thanks again the whole welfare abroad team.

Had a very good experience with these guys. From the very first contact to the last day, the whole team were excellent. Loads of contact pre and post op, the clinic was great as were the staff. No problems with anything all organised well. Hotel was good, less than a 5 minute walk to the clinic. There were plenty of other patients in the hotel, you are not alone!

Absolutely delighted with my hair transplant from welfare abroad. Everything went to plan. No pain what so ever. It was so easy from getting off the plane to returning home. The after care is second to none. Special mention to Richard for all the communication prior to my trip. Also to my agent in Istanbul to Ulaş. Made me feel welcome and translated to me during and after the procedure. 5 stars from me. Now to look forward to it growing 🤞. Thanks guys

My whole experience has been amazing. My contact Richard in the UK set everything up. All I’ve had to do is book flights. Since I landed in Istanbul I have not had to think of anything. Airport transfers, hotels and my translator / representative Ulaş has been brilliant. The whole process has been slick and on time. I would highly recommend.

Superb from Welfare Abroad couldn’t recommend them highly enough! Traveled to Turkey on my own from UK and felt like home from start to finish. Already recommended to family and friends. Looking forward to the final results.

I have just finished my hair transplant treatment with welfare abroad in Istanbul. Everyone involved from the host to the specialist were extremely professional and helpful throughout the experience. I am very happy with the process and would highly recommend!

So, I was understandably hesitant when it came to getting an operation, let alone flying overseas to do it; fortunately, I stumbled across a comment from someone who'd had a great experience working with Welfare Abroad. They had nothing but good things to say about about the organization and as result my interests piqued. It wasn't long thereafter I'd reached out for more information, and from the beginning it was clear they were great communicators. And beyond that, everything was very well organized. This helped ease a lot of the reservations I had about the whole experience. Ultimately, I went for it, and I'm really happy I did! Welfare Abroad was super helpful at every turn- before, during and after. They took care of everything. Every detail was worked out in the simplest and most straightforward manner. I remain very impressed, and I highly recommend the Welfare Abroad crew! Thanks again!

Really great service from start to finish. Brilliant communication by the Welfare Abroad Team. Answered all my questions before and put my mind at ease. Not as painful at all as expected the technique they use makes it less painful. Bring on the results.....

I was so unsure about having any procedure abroad but after a recommendation from a family member and having made contact with Welfare Abroad, I was instantly made to feel I had made the right choice. Firstly I had Richard reach out and answer all my questions. He made all of the arrangements for me, all I needed to do was get there so I booked my flight and Richard and the team arranged everything else. Top service and always on hand to help out and answer questions if needed, but they were so good I didn’t really have any. Ulash was my assigned concierge and he’s was amazing. He met me at the hotel on the day of my procedure and stayed with me for the first hour. I had around 4 people assigned to me and I couldn’t have felt more looked after. The surgery went so well and the whole team were amazing! I actually felt I had better service than what I would have gotten in the UK! Following the surgery I went back to the hotel after a full briefing on what to expect. Ulash met me at the clinic the next day for my post op follow up and the team were there to welcome me back. They are so friendly, and genuinely want to look after you. Before you know it, it was time to go home, they provided all of my post care treatment and a lot of aftercare support and documentation which is very easy to follow. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Welfare Abroad and I’m never one to leave reviews but I’m so happy and wanted to make sure that if you’re looking to have this done you pick the right people and Welfare Abroad are definitely the ones to go with. If you’ve been sat on the fence as I have for years, thinking should I, you either shave your hair off or get your confidence back and book in with Welfare Abroad, you cannot go wrong! Thanks again for everything!

I can’t rate welfare abroad enough. As long as you can catch a flight to turkey the rest is done for you. Communication before and after the treatment was 10/10. If you have had a tattoo a hair transplant is 100x less painful, apart from a few anesthetiser injections at the start of the treatment there is no pain after that. Ulas was a great host, he talked us through everything that was going to happen before and after the procedure and did all the translating for us. A week after the procedure and my hair at the back has grown back already and I can’t wait to see the results in the future.

I am delighted that I choose Welfare Abroad for my treatment. From my initial phone call to your team, Richard for organising my trip and answering my many questions in detail. To my most welcoming host Ulash, so accomadating and communicated my every need while I was in Turkey made everything flawless. And to Dr. Gamze and her amazing team for the highest care & attention during my proceadure & post surgery clinic. Thank you all.

I have just got back from getting my transplant done at the clinic. Service was great from airport pick up to drop off. Ulash keeps you informed fully from beginning to end and is a text away for any information or questions you want to ask. The staff are friendly and take care of you when you are at the clinic making sure you have food and water available. I can’t wait to see the results. I would highly recommend the service for value.

Great team to have working on your hair. Everything was and looked professional. The host Ulash was great, answered all questions and concerns and explained everything clearly. Great host 👍. Yes I agree, you feel Some pain with the needles but it’s manageable. The rest is easy. Just have to play the wait and be patient game to see the end results 🤞

A big Thankyou to Ulash and all the team that worked on my transplants. From start to finish, you were very professional. Good communication & answered any questions or concerns very honestly. I found the process painless & wouldn’t hesitate doing it again if needed. I have very light grey hair, so when transplantation was 1st done it stood out a bit more than someone with dark hair, but after 10-12 days & all scraps fallen, people didn’t even know I’d had a transplant. Very happy a big thank you again.

I had my hair transplant 18/01/2020 and the level of service I received was 5 star worthy. Welfare Abroad provided a guide the day of my procedure to walk me to the hospital and translate any concerns or questions I had to the specialists, Barish spoke to me throughout the first 30 minutes of the procedure to help relax my nerves and keep me company, for someone on there first day speaking to a British guy, he done great. Transport to and from the airport was very easy and the driver arrived on time or early but made no complaints if I was not ready early as well, he was happy to wait for me until the planned time. Many people say you feel no pain during the procedure and I can also confirm this, BUT you will feel pain having the local anaesthetic injected into the transplant and donor areas to numb it. This was an uncomfortable feeling but its over pretty quickly so just clench your fist, grit your teeth and soldier through it. You do feel and hear everything involved with the procedure but like I said, after the LA, no pain at all! If you're not to concerned by the noises and can relax, you might find yourself almost falling asleep during it like I did! Overall is was a pleasant experience, the hotel was perfect for the short stay I was there, although I wasn't a fan of the breakfasts they had out. I would recommended this company as a trusted hair transplant location in Turkey.

Extremely professional, very experienced team. Dr. Gamze was absolutely fantastic as well as very experienced and skillful. Her team is none to compare. Both of her assistants were amazing and truly supportive. Just needed to bear initial pains for 5/7 minutes then, only felt some stitching in or plucking out something from head but no pains at all. All three of them are simply magicians. I haven't had any issues speaking with either with Doctor or with her assistants. Mr Ulash (Host) was there to take me from hotel to the clinic and explain everything in details. He was interpreting everything from clearing the payment, taking to the OT room, clarifying everything from Turkish to English and so on. Wonderful support from Mr Ulash. Also, thanks to Mr Richard ( customer service) who actually arranged everything from the beginning. I am having a great support after surgery. It's been just over 3 weeks and I can tell you Dr Gamze and The Care Team are very proactive replying all the queries. I would recommend to anyone having a transplant in Welfare Abroad. Again, many thanks to Dr Gamze and the team, Mr Ulash (Host) and Mr Richard from customer service. ( I have uploaded 3 pictures. No 1 is before surgery with green jacket, no 2 was on the next day of surgery with Dr Gamze and Mr Ulash on the 06.02.19 and no 3 was on the 26.02.19 with red T-Shirt) Ziaul Reading, Berkshire, UK

The treatment was great, the initial needles hurt but you get through that quickly. The procedure flew by and I could not feel any pain. They really look after you. I love my hair more than ever, I can't wait to go back and get it finished off. I researched hair transplants for 10 years and decided to go with Welfare Abroad; the experience was fantastic. I felt welcome the moment I arrived in Istanbul all the way until leaving. You get a taxi ride there and back in the price as well as two nights in a really nice hotel that also serves breakfast. The hospital was extremely clean and professional, Dr Gamze and her assistants were fantastic. I am going back in January for my second one as I have lost my remaining hair from the top. The results are amazing and will obviously depend on how bald you are/will end up going in the future. I could not be happier!

I can’t thank welfare abroad enough for my hair transplant 100 percent transformation ,I would recommend them to anyone ,very prompt replies to any questions and excellent service in every way .

Best place ever I had my hair done just over 5 months ago and I really couldn’t thank them enough. My hair looks amazing and the amount of people that comment on my hair now is unreal really is the best thing I’ve ever done I’m so happy and much more convenient now. I’ve recommended loads of people to them and will carry on recommending people to them simply the best 👌👌👌

Brilliant Service. Very happy with the results. Would give 9.2 out of 10 on the transplant itself. 10 out of 10 on customer service/experience. 10 out of 10 on communication. 10 out of 10 on after care. 6 out of 10 on communication during the surgery due to the lack of knowledge on English. Overall. Satisfied...

I wasn’t sure what to expect going over to turkey for the hair transplant but I honestly can’t fault it ! Very helpful before during and after !

Excellent job very happy with my results coming to 15 months now hair transplant went very well.
