We're constantly involved with Dr. Özlem, first for my older son, and now for my younger son. For us, dental care was a long-term treatment that required follow-up. We enjoy our checkups. I have a special fondness for her, especially for her ❤️, but she's a wonderful doctor with her approach to children, her knowledge, her experience, her guidance in treatments and follow-ups, and her support…

for us parents in every way. You don't have to wonder how that child will fit into that chair; my doctor's love for children is enough ❤️

Özge, our paths crossed for dental treatment, and I'm so glad we did. It's a wonderful feeling to be friends with esteemed doctors like you. ♥️ Doctors are very understanding of another doctor's commitment to ethical values and the quality of treatment they provide, so your comment is especially valuable. Thank you, with love 🙏
Due to the increasing number of cavities in my 5-year-old son and our concern about losing his permanent teeth, we met Ms. Özlem after thorough research. Despite the common misconception in society that "those teeth will fall out anyway" when it comes to young children, my wife and I decided to seek help from Ms. Özlem before it was too late. Her examination gave us confidence that our child would…

regain his former healthy appearance. The positive rapport and sincerity she showed us were invaluable. As a result, in a 2.5-hour operation, she completed the restoration of 4 teeth with severe crown damage, as well as 8 teeth at the back that were about to decay. And after all this, in a short time of 4-5 hours, my child regained both his health and self-confidence without any pain or bleeding. I cannot thank Ms. Özlem and her team enough for all of this. Regardless of the situation, my recommendation to all parents is to seek help for their children before it's too late. If they want to do something good, they should take their child to a dentist.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable. Many children are deprived of treatment because of the fear that their baby teeth will fall out. We're so glad you came, trusted us, and our child has regained their health. May they enjoy it in good health for many years to come ♥️
While searching for a doctor for my 2.5 year old daughter's tooth, which had grown crooked and was starting to decay very quickly, I saw Özlem. We read the reviews and decided to go. When we went, she told me about the problem with my daughter's tooth and that it needed to be extracted in a hospital environment with sedation. She explained the process very clearly. I was frankly a little scared,…

but she was so descriptive and reassuring that she eased my concerns. Then, the tooth extraction was performed in the hospital with sedation. The extraction was completed in 15 minutes. When my daughter regained consciousness, she came to the room. We had no problems with my daughter after the surgery and went for a check-up today. Everything was fine. We are very happy to have met Özlem. I am telling everyone around me about her. She is definitely someone everyone should know. Our children are in safe hands thanks to her. We thank her again. ♥️ ☺️

Thank you so much, Adile. I'm so glad you came and met me ♥️ Our primary goal in treatment is to safely restore the health of our children, so we always perform sedation/general anesthesia procedures in a fully equipped hospital. 🙏
We met Özlem about a month ago. I reached out to her through a recommendation from a close friend. She's so genuine and kind that you're sure you'd want to be in her shoes. Unfortunately, my son had early childhood milk decay, which caused …

We met Dr. Özlem quite late. My son is now 6 years old and had baby cavities; she treated him under general anesthesia. Mothers and fathers, don't be afraid, your child recovers the same day. We had fears too, but now we say "thank …

Thank you so much, Seda ❤️ I believe that your influence was also instrumental in making my child's treatment go so well. As I always say, the more harmonious the family and the doctor are, the easier it is for our children. I'm so glad you're here and that you came ❤️
My 6-year-old son underwent dental treatment under general anesthesia today. Unfortunately, we couldn't tell from the outside how poorly the previous procedures were done. He had incredibly deep cavities that had reached the root. After the …

Dear Lale, thank you for your comment. Treatments under anesthesia are often worrying for many families, so your experiences are a valuable guide. We're so glad you came and we got to know you. Best of luck.
While we are very satisfied with the medical, technical, and technological aspects, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your approach, care, attention, psychological support, and your ability to connect with a child's heart.

Thank you. We strive to provide the most comfortable treatment for our children. We're so glad you came ❤️
My daughter had cavities in almost all of her baby molars, causing pain and abscesses; she couldn't even eat. Unfortunately, she absolutely refused to even be examined once she sat in the doctor's chair. Thank you so much, we met Dr. Özlem, …

Thank you, Mr. Serhat ❤️ I'm so glad you're here too. Wishing you many happy and healthy days ahead 🌸
A tooth extraction can go so smoothly. Ms. Özlem's interaction with children is excellent. It's amazing how my 8-year-old son lay down directly in the chair the first time he entered the clinic and didn't feel any tension at all.
Reply from the clinic
Your feedback is very valuable 🙏 because it's very important to me that I was able to perform a tooth extraction on a child without causing them trauma. The most important thing is that our children don't experience trauma during dental treatment. Best regards 🍀
We were very pleased and our son's teeth are perfect. Ms. Özlem took very good care of him. Thank you. 😊 …

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts. May my patient from Ayvalık always be healthy, smiling, and grow up in many beautiful days ❤️

I love you so much too ❤️ and your comment made me so happy ❤️ Thank you. Generally, families are afraid of dental procedures as our babies get younger, but with specialist dentists, these procedures are actually very comfortable. I really liked that you called me a dental mom ❤️🍀 How happy I am, thank you 🙏
We have known Ms. Özlem for a long time. She had done my son's first dental checkup. She was a specialist at the time. After that, my son started to have early childhood caries. We went to Ms. Özlem again, and we are glad we did. She is a …

Thank you so much, my dear Burçin ❤️ and also for getting to know me so well 🙏 Let's all be together. The best part of being a doctor is being with wonderful families like you ❤️
Ms. Özlem has excellent communication skills and a sense of security with children. We thank her for her patience and kindness towards our children who are afraid of the dentist. (Güneş and Simay)

My two lovely sister patients ❤️ You're welcome, I love you.

My daughter has been receiving treatment from Dentist Özlem for three years, and we are truly satisfied. She has been very helpful and attentive to my daughter's treatment. I can't thank her enough.

I'm a mother of three, so as a mother who's experienced going to the dentist many times, she's the most incredible doctor I've ever seen. She treated all the wrong procedures we've had in the past. Fillings that weren't completely cleaned …

We only recently met Ms. Özlem, but it feels like we've known each other for years.

I'm so glad Deniz came and that I met her ❤️ It's very natural for families to panic during dental traumas, and it's very important for us to remain calm at this point. As pediatric dentists, this is perhaps what we specialize in. You were always helpful to me from the moment you arrived, and I thank you very much, with love ❤️
My dearest doctor, Özlem Hanım... 💕 We visited many doctors and clinics, but no one approached us like Özlem Hanım. My daughter had a decay in her front baby tooth, and many doctors said it would fall out anyway and there was no need for a …
