Medical Specialty
The official medical specialty is recorded separately from hair transplantation. “Hair Transplant Specialist” is not used as a medical specialty; it describes a clinical focus or role, not a Turkish residency branch.

Techniques
Technique labels are tracked separately from medical specialty and operative responsibility. A check mark identifies a technique verified in the current research record; a question mark means it has not yet been verified for this doctor.
Doctor Involvement
These five stages are tracked separately. A check mark means the doctor’s personal involvement is verified; a question mark means the public evidence is not yet sufficient to confirm that stage.
Procedures
Procedure types are shown only where the doctor's current record supports them. Unverified beard, eyebrow or revision work remains marked with a question mark rather than being inferred from clinic-wide services.
Operating Model
Doğanay founded AHD in Antalya and is the clinic's responsible physician. The clinic says all medical staff are trained internally by him and presents both doctor-performed and team-performed pathways.
A generic check mark cannot fully describe this model. The profile records the package distinction and advises patients to obtain the exact stage allocation, named operators and package title in writing before payment.
This is an operating-model classification, not a quality ranking, safety guarantee or recommendation. The actual team can vary by date, package and patient.
Biography and Medical Education
Dr. Hakan Doğanay is an Antalya-based general practitioner, founder of AHD Hair Transplant Center and a full-time hair-transplant physician whose official chronology begins with medical graduation in 1993 and hair-restoration practice in 2003.
Doğanay graduated from Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine in 1993. His official biography records compulsory service in Niğde, primary-care work in Gündoğmuş, service as Antalya Regional Chief Physician for the General Directorate of Health for Borders and Coasts, and emergency-department work at Serik State Hospital.
He founded AHD in 2003 and began with FUT before moving to FUE in 2005 and DHI/Choi implanter work in 2010. He left the public-sector post in 2009 to work full time in hair transplantation.
No Turkish residency specialty is stated in the reviewed official biography. Medical-aesthetics certification is additional training rather than a formal specialty, so the directory classifies him as General Practitioner.

Education and career chronology
Current practice and evidence context
AHD presents Doğanay as a full-time surgeon working with a team trained by him and documents FUE and DHI/Choi-implanter practice. The available wording does not separately establish which person performs Hairline Design, Channel Opening, Extraction or Implantation in every operation. Supervision is verified; the other four stages remain not yet verified.
Questions about Hakan Doğanay
These answers use the education, workplace, credential and operative-role fields currently recorded for Hakan Doğanay. They do not inherit claims made for other doctors at the same clinic.
Is every AHD operation performed entirely by Hakan Doğanay?
No. AHD publishes multiple options. One is described as entirely doctor-performed; other procedures are described as performed by the AHD team under his supervision.
What is his formal medical specialty?
The official clinic record lists Pratisyen Hekimlik. His medical-aesthetics certification and hair-transplant practice are additional professional fields, not a separate residency specialty.
Which techniques are associated with the clinic?
AHD publishes FUE harvesting and DHI/implanter-pen workflows, together with beard, eyebrow, female and repair procedures. A clinic service menu does not by itself identify the operator.
What must be written into the treatment plan?
Whether the procedure is the doctor-performed option or the supervised-team option, and who will perform extraction and implantation.
What the public record establishes for Hakan Doğanay
We separate official records, provider claims and patient testimony. Discussion themes describe what is publicly documented; they are not findings of clinical fault or proof of treatment quality.
Doctor package versus team package
This distinction is visible in AHD's own material and in clinic-published case posts. Reviews should be interpreted only after identifying which package and operators were used.
Experience and outcome claims
Operation totals, natural-result statements and international reputation are provider claims and are not treated as audited comparative outcomes.
Review scope last checked 29 August 2026. Anonymous reports are treated as testimony and are not converted into verified facts about a doctor or clinic.
