M.D. Fatih Çelik Reviews

My 82-year-old father, Ahmet, fell in the garden and fractured his hip. The ambulance brought him to Adana Hospital Acibadem in immense pain. Dr. Fatih Çelik was like a calm commander in the storm of the ER. He didn't just see an 'elderly fall' case; he immediately recognized my father's underlying Parkinson's tremor and coordinated with neurology while stabilizing the fracture. His hands were steady, his voice was reassuring, and he explained the surgical plan to us in simple, clear Turkish without talking down. Post-surgery, he checked on Baba personally at midnight. We're not just grateful for the medical skill, but for the profound respect he showed. Baba says, 'That doctor has the eyes of a hawk and the heart of a lion.'

Our 5-year-old daughter, Elif, swallowed a small toy battery. The panic was indescribable. At the ER, Dr. Çelik moved with a focused urgency that immediately made us feel we were in the right place. He didn't waste a second. While the team prepped, he knelt to Elif's eye level, showed her a stuffed animal, and said, 'We're going to do a magic trick to get that out.' He managed her terror and our own. The endoscopic removal was successful, and his follow-up call the next day to check for any complications was unexpected. He turned a potential tragedy into a story Elif now tells without fear. We trust him with our most precious treasure.

I'm a long-distance truck driver. I came in with what I thought was severe indigestion—just wanted some pills. Dr. Çelik took one look at me, asked three precise questions about the pain radiating to my jaw, and overruled my protests. He ordered an immediate EKG and troponin test. It was a major heart attack, a 'widow-maker.' His insistence saved my life. In the cath lab, he was all business, but afterward, he sat by my bed and gave me a stern, almost fatherly talk about lifestyle changes. No sugar-coating. He spoke to me like a fellow worker, not just a patient. This wasn't a routine checkup; it was an intervention that gave me a second chance. I owe him my life, literally.

Following a complex multi-vehicle collision, I was brought in with multiple trauma: broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a deep laceration on my leg. The ER was chaotic, but Dr. Çelik's triage was swift and authoritative. What stood out was his 'system view.' While addressing the immediate pneumothorax, he noticed a subtle neurological sign in my foot that others missed, prompting a spinal scan that revealed a minor fracture needing stabilization. His approach wasn't sequential but holistic, seeing how all injuries interconnected. His post-op visits were brief but intensely informative, using diagrams to show my healing progress. He treated me not as a collection of wounds, but as a complete person who needed to understand the roadmap to recovery.
