2. No medical advice

All text, images, videos and tools on this website are for general information only. They do not provide a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation, and they are not a substitute for an examination by a doctor.

Based on the information you enter, the pre-assessment tool (BMI calculation and guidance screen) shows which topics may be worth discussing in the consultation. It is not a medical assessment, a diagnosis or a treatment decision. A decision on treatment is made only by a doctor, after an examination and the necessary tests.

Do not make decisions about your health on the basis of this website alone, and do not change or stop any current treatment without first speaking to your doctor.

In an emergency, do not use this website, the form or messaging services. Call 112 (in the UK, 999 or 112) or go to the nearest emergency department. The form and messages are dealt with during working hours and are not monitored continuously.

3. Nature of the website: information, not advertising

This website provides information within the framework that Turkish medical professional law (Law No. 1219, the Regulation on Medical Deontology and the regulations of the Ministry of Health) allows doctors. It contains no patient reviews, no before-and-after images, no prices or promotions, no promises of success rates and no comparisons with other doctors or institutions. Titles and career details are supported by documents.

No fees are stated on this website; the fees for examination and treatment are governed by the lawful tariffs of the treating institution.

4. Requests from abroad

Patients from abroad are examined and treated at Kavacık Medikal Sağlık Hizmetleri ve Ürünleri Ticaret ve Sanayi A.Ş. (Medistate Kavacık Hastanesi). Travel, accommodation, transfers and interpreting services are neither offered nor arranged through this website or by Prof. Dr. Emin Ersoy; if needed, the hospital's international patient department can provide information. A telephone or video information call before the examination is for general information only; it is neither a medical assessment nor a remote consultation.

5. No doctor-patient relationship

Using the website, submitting the form or sending an email or message does not create a doctor-patient relationship. That relationship begins only with an examination in person (or a remote examination that is permitted by law). Replies given before the examination are general information.

6. Results

The results of obesity and metabolic surgery vary from person to person; they depend on factors including BMI, related conditions, age, diet, physical activity and adherence to follow-up care. This website gives no guarantee of any result, and no such guarantee is possible. Every surgical procedure carries risks; your individual risks are explained in the informed consent discussion before the procedure.

Figures and statistics taken from the medical literature are given with their source, relate to populations and do not mean that they will apply to you.

7. Your obligations as a user

When using the website, you agree to

  • give accurate information in the forms,
  • enter information about another person only after informing them and obtaining their consent,
  • not do anything that could damage or overload the website or get around its security, and not use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to collect content,
  • not make requests under a false name or on behalf of someone else without authority.

You are responsible for any damage and third-party claims arising from a breach of these obligations.

8. Intellectual property

The text, images, videos, graphics, the pre-assessment tool, software, design and database of this website are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights, including under Turkish Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works and Law No. 6769 on Industrial Property. The rights belong to Prof. Dr. Emin Ersoy or to the relevant licensors. Short quotations for personal, non-commercial purposes are permitted if the source is named and a link is given. Any other copying, reproduction, adaptation or distribution, use for training artificial intelligence models, and text and data mining are prohibited without written permission. The rights holder expressly reserves these uses within the meaning of Art. 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790.

Links to third-party websites are provided for information only. The operators of those websites are solely responsible for their content, accuracy and privacy practices.

10. Liability

We take care to keep the information accurate and up to date, but we do not guarantee that it is complete or current. The website is provided "as is", without any promise that it will be available without interruption or free of errors.

To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for loss or damage arising from the use of the information on this website or from the website being unavailable. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for intent or gross negligence, for death, personal injury or damage to health, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law (including under Art. 115 of the Turkish Code of Obligations).

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by Turkish law; the courts and enforcement offices of Istanbul (Anatolia) have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you are habitually resident, and your right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country. In Turkey, the right to apply to consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts is unaffected.

12. Changes

These terms may be updated; the current version applies from the moment it is published.

13. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

For information on how we process your personal data, see the Privacy Notice.
