General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Their maximum offering is oral sedation (an anti-anxiety pill) plus computerised local anaesthesia. No IV sedation or GA provided. [dt-ozlem-ozcan-sedation]

Information Transparency

Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
Price Transparency
0 / 15

Reputation & Reviews
