Terrible experience
Terrible experience – serious health consequences
I travelled to Turkey for a crowns treatment at Flamingo Clinic, and my experience was extremely negative. From the beginning, the crowns were excessively large, unnatural, and uncomfortable. When I raised my concerns, I was told this was “normal.”
After returning to London, my condition quickly worsened. The crowns caused constant pain, difficulty eating, abscesses, and ongoing infections. This was not just discomfort — it became a real health problem. I contacted the clinic many times, but my messages were ignored for days and sometimes weeks. When they eventually responded, my symptoms were repeatedly dismissed.
After multiple complaints, I returned to Istanbul and was examined by another doctor, arranged by Flamingo’s own management. I was clearly informed that the dental work was very poor. The crowns had significant gaps, allowing food and liquids to become trapped underneath, which directly caused infections and put my oral health at risk.
Despite having already paid for the treatment, Flamingo Clinic refused to take responsibility. I was forced to pay for a completely new treatment at another clinic, including the removal and replacement of all crowns. This resulted in further financial loss, emotional stress, and disruption to my life.
