We can research clinics and doctors, query official sources, examine documents and compare public records. We cannot guarantee that an authority replies, access confidential inspection data, or predict medical outcomes.
Assoc. Prof. Dr Ahmet Yavuz Balcı is a private doctor's office in İstanbul. It holds health tourism authorisation ST-5190 from the Turkish Ministry of Health — the licence a facility must hold before it may treat patients from abroad. The register lists 1 doctor and a total staff of 1, and records the facility as operating since 2024 (year recorded in the register). Treatments on record: Carotid Endarterectomy. Staff are listed as speaking English.
Yes — listed on the Ministry of Health register as of 2026-10-29 (document ST-5190). This site has read it on the register since 2026-09-17.
Being on the register says a facility holds the authorisation. It is not a quality or safety verdict; that is what an independent investigation is for.
What the register cannot tell you: whether the clinicians are skilled, whether a plan is right for you, or what happens if something goes wrong. The licence is permission, not a quality mark. How to verify a licence yourself.
Each value shows the kind of source it comes from and when it was last checked. The official name, the company that operates the facility and the name it trades under are different things; one is never shown as another.
The same open questions apply to every clinic. They are not findings about this one.
A free checklist, the same for every clinic.
Clinimora does not arrange payments or appointments.
Entered by the facility on the Ministry-hosted portal. A listed treatment is not a statement about who performs it or how well.
1 clinician on the register record as of 2026-10-29. This does not mean one of them will treat you. Ask the clinic to name your treating clinician in writing.

Every night a sample of documents is fetched again from our storage, re-hashed and its signature re-checked. This proves the copy has not changed since we retrieved it. It does not prove that the authority still considers the document in force — that is the regulatory status above. Our method.
