A Day at Waikato
Specialist Centre

From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave — what a visit with Dr Bülent Yaprak and his team actually looks like.

01 — Arrival

Walking in the door

Reception, Waikato Specialist Centre

83c Tristram Street sits in the heart of Hamilton Central, a short walk from Braemar Private Hospital. There's parking close by, and reception knows your name before you've finished saying it — most patients say the nerves ease the moment they walk through the door.

02 — Welcome

A quiet word with the team

📷 Caren or practice team member at desk, warm candid photo

Caren and the team handle the practical side — paperwork, questions about cost, what to expect on the day — so that by the time you sit down with Bülent, you're not thinking about logistics. Just the conversation in front of you.

03 — Consultation

Time, not a timer

Consultations with Bülent run 30–45 minutes. No rushing, no scripts — just an honest conversation about what's possible, what isn't, and whether surgery is the right answer at all. Two consultations, at minimum two weeks apart, are required before any facial surgery — not because the rules say so, but because good decisions need time to settle.

04 — On the Day

Braemar Private Hospital

📷 Theatre / surgical setting, professional and calm, no graphic content

Surgery takes place at Braemar Private Hospital, or for select local anaesthetic procedures, in-rooms at the Centre. Either way, the same surgeon you sat across the desk from is the one in the room — there's no handover, no unfamiliar face on the day that matters most.

05 — Recovery

Anna's looking after you

Dr Bülent Yaprak with nursing team

Anna, our practice nurse, follows up personally — checking in, answering the questions that come up once you're home and the adrenaline's worn off. Aftercare isn't an afterthought here; it's built into the price of every procedure. (Caren — confirm this photo is the right team members before publishing, and swap if it's not actually Anna.)

"We see the same faces, twice — once across the consultation desk, and once again at the follow-up. That continuity is the whole point." — Dr Bülent Yaprak
06 — Going Home

And then, quiet

Six weeks of follow-up is included with every surgical estimate, all-inclusive from the first consultation through to the last check. For patients travelling in from Auckland or Tauranga, that follow-up can happen by phone or video — the care doesn't stop at the city limits.

Start with a conversation

Every visit begins the same way — with a consultation, not a commitment.
