Doc. Dr. Ulaş Bali

I traveled from the U.S. to consult surgeons in person in Istanbul. In Istanbul there are various medical tourism options from agencies, clinics and hospitals. This particular surgeon is linked to an agency Phoenix Aesthetics and I must say that dealing with them was very unpleasant for me. Yes, they coordinated my meeting with Dr. Bali in person but the way they communicated with me after meeting the surgeon was a terrible experience overall to the point that I decided to find another surgeon. Dr. Bali’s personality was humble. Hence the 2 star rating. I really wanted to select him but without having to deal with this type of behavior from a connected agency. I also did some research on his profile and he has experience however, there is an incident concerning Dr. Bali that I won’t get into. Do your research. Phoenix Aesthetics: My experience with this agency was terrible after doing a few consultations in person with other clinics, I was taken aback by their approach. The primary patient coordinator/ rep sent over a quote on day 2-3 but afterwards starting on day 4, he kept trying to pressure me to send a deposit, send a deposit. 🤕Omg, can I please take the time to research the surgeon effectively first, do my comparisons with other surgeons to see if this will be a good option for me? Than, when I did not move fast enough for them, the patient coordinators started telling me lies which rubbed me the wrong way and I started slowing down my communications with them. 1st lie: how to make payments with credit cards or wire transfers . At 1st they told me that no credit card payments are accepted than when I stopped communicating to them, they reminded me that credit card payments are accepted with an additional 25% fee! What? So I am paying you guys an additional fee on top of the money quoted! 2nd lie: when I asked about prior patient incidents, they told me zero, this was incorrect. 3rd incident : After returning home, even while trying to connect on my flights, they were aggressively contacting me via WhatsApp to talk about the quote and to continue to request a deposit. This is an absolute turn off. Allow potential patients a few weeks to settle, research and make a sound decision. WHO in their right mind rushes which surgeon they are going to choose especially from another country. 4th: The rep kept trying to use another tactic: the oh well let’s see if the price is going to stay or change. It’s only been 2 weeks since I meet your agency by force, if your price suddenly changes so be it but I won’t be pressured to send any deposits anywhere without doing my total research. I stopped reaching out to Phoenix Aesthetics and I decided that I won’t be pressured. I did my due diligence, took my time and found the relevant info I needed. 6th: The quote provided was not itemized and only included the procedure I was seeking. Really OMG! The money demand tactics was enough for me to say no. I wish I could have communicated directly with the doctor’s assistant or a member of his team assigned to directly deal with potential patient inquiries but that is what happens when services like this is linked to or by the surgeon’s hospital. I don’t want to be forced to deal with an agency regardless of the surgeon It’s my choice and I thank goodness I stopped focusing on the pressure tactics and moved onward. Do your research fellow potential patients. Research your surgeon, research the hospital (even if it’s state of the arts), Make sure your quote is in 🇺🇸U.S. dollars, itemized from hospital charges / fees, doc fees, anesthesia fees, even down to the syringes used, transportation fees and hotel accommodations fees( there is also fees to their agency-yes “Phoenix” gets a pice of the pie too hence the pressure to lock you in, send a deposit. Good luck. Response to Owner: Sir, no one can reach you or your team directly without going through the agency. This is sad in itself. Your link goes directly to “Phoenix” via WhatsApp on your personal page!! 😫Ppl need to know the truth when they attempt to contact you. 🙁

Amazing experience! I am 2 weeks post op and am very happy with my results, dr Bali and all the beautiful nurses made me feel so safe and taken care of. Highly recommend!!!!!!!

After my gastric sleeve surgery, I lost a significant amount of weight. As a result, I was left with excess skin on my arms, which caused me a lot of discomfort. For this reason, I had an arm lift with Dr. Ulas Bali a year ago. I am very satisfied with both the treatment process and the results achieved. Dr. Ulas has a unique personality and a unique way of working. His professional and confident, yet simultaneously calm and warm, demeanor immediately inspires confidence. I would like to express my gratitude and thank him and his team for their professional guidance and support throughout my entire process. I am deeply appreciative. With sincere sympathy, I can highly recommend Dr. Ulas Bali and his team. Below, I'm sharing a few lovely photos we took at the clinic. :)) Thank you! Team BALI 🩷

Thank you, Doctor. Your approach and attentiveness during and after the procedure made me feel so comfortable that I trusted you completely. Both the procedure and the results were wonderful. I'm so glad I chose you. Thank you for your efforts.
