M.D. Yusuf Hakan Abacı Reviews

My 8-year-old son, Emre, fell during a football match and couldn't move his wrist. We rushed to Acibadem Adana in a panic. Dr. Yusuf Hakan Abacı examined him with such gentle patience, explaining everything to my scared child in simple terms. He diagnosed a greenstick fracture that didn't even show clearly on the initial X-ray—his experience was crucial. He applied a special pediatric cast, making sure it wasn't too tight, and drew a little football on it. The follow-up was just as thorough. My son now calls him 'the bone magician' and isn't afraid of doctors anymore. A true healer for children.

As a 72-year-old retired teacher with advanced osteoarthritis in both knees, I had given up on gardening and walking my dog. Multiple doctors had just prescribed painkillers. Dr. Abacı was different. He spent an hour reviewing my old scans, not just the new ones, and proposed a staged bilateral knee replacement with a novel, minimally invasive technique he specializes in. The surgery on my right knee was five months ago. His post-op protocol was rigorous but clear. Yesterday, I walked 3 kilometers without a cane. His approach isn't just surgical; it's about rebuilding a life. I trust him completely with my second knee next month.

I'm a construction foreman, and a steel beam pinched my hand at a site near the hospital. It was a bloody, chaotic emergency with suspected multiple metacarpal fractures. Dr. Abacı took control immediately in the ER. What stood out was his calm, decisive action amidst the urgency. He ordered a specific 3D CT scan others might have skipped, which revealed a complex, displaced fracture-dislocation. He performed emergency surgery that same night, using micro-plates. He didn't just save my hand; he saved my livelihood. His post-surgical notes were detailed, and his warnings about physiotherapy were stern but motivating. The function is returning better than I dreamed.

My visit was for what I thought would be a routine follow-up for an old shoulder injury from volleyball. Dr. Abacı, however, treated it like a first consultation. He re-evaluated everything, asked about my current activity levels (which I'd reduced due to nagging pain), and wasn't satisfied with 'stable.' He suggested a dynamic ultrasound, which revealed a subtle, evolving tear in my labrum that static MRIs had missed. He outlined three clear options: targeted physiotherapy, a novel injection protocol, or eventual surgery, with no pressure. His ability to find the hidden detail in a 'routine' case and his collaborative approach to decision-making is exceptional. This wasn't a checkup; it was a course correction.
