Patient Experience
I was 72 years old and had been dismissed by two other doctors who told me my post-menopausal bleeding was 'probably just atrophy' and to not worry. Dr. Vardar listened differently. He didn't just hear my words; he saw the fear behind them. He insisted on an immediate, thorough investigation at Acibadem Adana, which revealed an early-stage endometrial cancer. His calm, decisive manner during the explanation and the subsequent successful hysterectomy he performed gave me back my future. He treated me not as an 'elderly case,' but as a person whose life was precious. My follow-ups are with him exclusively now.
Our 14-year-old daughter developed severe pelvic pain out of nowhere. As parents, we were terrified it might be something gynecological. We needed someone with the expertise of a surgeon but the heart of a pediatrician. Dr. Mehmet Ali Vardar was exactly that. He explained everything to her in a way she could understand, making her laugh and putting her at ease. He diagnosed a large, complex ovarian cyst that required careful laparoscopic surgery. He walked us through every step, and his skill was such that the scars are barely visible. He saved her ovary and her peace of mind. We call him our family's guardian angel.
It was a routine 20-week anatomy scan for my second pregnancy. The ultrasound technician grew quiet, then left the room. When Dr. Vardar entered, his face was serious but kind. He explained, with incredible clarity and without sugarcoating, that our baby had a complex congenital condition that would require immediate surgery after birth. For the rest of the pregnancy, he wasn't just my OB/GYN; he was our coordinator, our advocate, and our source of steadfast hope. He liaised with pediatric surgeons, prepared us emotionally, and managed my high-risk care flawlessly. Our son was born at Acibadem Adana and went straight into successful surgery. Dr. Vardar's comprehensive, long-view care was the bedrock we needed during the storm.
I walked into Dr. Vardar's clinic for what I thought was a simple follow-up after a cyst removal. I mentioned in passing some mild, intermittent dizziness. Instead of brushing it off, he asked a series of very specific questions about my cycle and the timing of the dizziness. He suspected a rare form of ovulation-related migraine and ordered targeted blood tests at precise points in my cycle. He was right. For ten years, I'd been told it was 'just stress' or 'low iron.' With his precise diagnosis, a simple treatment plan completely resolved it. This wasn't emergency medicine; it was the medicine of meticulous attention. He solved a decade-long mystery in one consult by truly listening to the small details.
