In a dynamic move that bridges world-class medicine with elite basketball, Vera Clinic, a leading international hair transplant center based in Istanbul, Türkiye has announced an official partnership with the Houston Rockets—a collaboration that will span the entire 2025–2026 NBA season.
This one-year alliance marks Vera Clinic as the official partner of the Houston Rockets, signaling a powerful statement about how healthcare, confidence, and performance are now deeply interconnected.
“Partnering with the Houston Rockets is a reflection of what we’ve built over the last decade,” said Dr. Kazım Sipahi, founder of Vera Clinic. “From day one, we’ve prioritized transparency, science, and ethical care. To be acknowledged by an institution like the Rockets means our standard is global.”
Vera Clinic is not new to the spotlight. In 2021, it was awarded the European Medicine Award, an honor that highlights clinical safety, ethical practices, trust and contribution to medical innovation across the continent. The award is typically reserved for institutions that demonstrate verifiable results and patient-centered care, not marketing.
What It Means for American Patients
According to the Medical Tourism Association, over 1.5 million Americans traveled abroad for medical treatment in 2024. Hair restoration is one of the most common reasons. In the U.S., a high-quality transplant can cost between $12,000–$20,000.
At Vera Clinic, the same procedure is offered with proven medical techniques, stem cell and OxyCure™ therapy, developed in-house to improve healing and results. The clinic provides fixed-price packages between €2,000 and €6,000, with no extra cost per graft. The price includes surgery, hotel, transfers, and full aftercare — making Vera one of the most trusted choices for international patients.
By aligning with one of the NBA’s most recognized members, Vera Clinic sends a clear message to Americans considering medical tourism: World-class care doesn’t need to cost a fortune and trust can now wear a jersey.
Should New Yorkers Care?
If you’ve been thinking about hair restoration but stopped short because of price, downtime, or trust — this might change that.
Vera Clinic works with American patients every day. Their staff speak English. Their coordinators handle everything from virtual consultations to airport pickups. And with a major U.S. sports team now tied to their name, the trust gap for American patients just narrowed.
What This Signals for Turkish Health Tourism
Türkiye has already been on the global medical map, especially for cosmetic dentistry, plastic surgery, and fertility treatment. But partnerships like this shift the perception
In 2023 alone, Türkiye’s health tourism revenue exceeded $2.5 billion, with projections expecting a 20% growth by 2026, according to data from TÜRSAB (Association of Turkish Travel Agencies). İstanbul has emerged as the hub, with clinics like Vera leading the narrative — not through ads, but through procedures that deliver.
