Adana Hospital Acibadem Reviews

A 24-year-old female migrant agricultural worker from Syria presented with severe fatigue and dizziness. Dr. Dişel discovered she had been secretly rationing her insulin due to cost, leading to recurrent diabetic ketoacidosis. He coordinated with a local charity to secure a sustainable insulin supply and taught her carbohydrate counting using common field foods like figs and bulgur. Her HbA1c dropped from 12.8% to 7.2% in four months.

A 78-year-old retired railway engineer presented with unexplained weight loss and intermittent fever. Dr. Dişel noted his hobby of restoring antique clocks with lead-based paints. Careful investigation revealed chronic lead poisoning mimicking malignancy. Chelation therapy combined with safer hobby guidance resulted in complete recovery, allowing him to return to his workshop with new, lead-free materials.

A 42-year-old long-haul truck driver presented with chest pain initially dismissed as reflux. Dr. Dişel recognized subtle EKG changes during an episode and diagnosed Prinzmetal's angina triggered by his habitual consumption of high-caffeine energy drinks during night drives. Treatment with calcium channel blockers and a revised sleep schedule eliminated symptoms, preventing a likely myocardial infarction.

A 19-year-old university student and competitive freediver presented with recurrent syncope after surfacing. Dr. Dişel diagnosed him with hypoxia-induced latent long QT syndrome exacerbated by prolonged breath-holding. He collaborated with a sports cardiologist to create a modified training protocol, allowing the student to continue diving safely with monitoring, preserving his athletic scholarship.

A 19-year-old university student and amateur parkour athlete arrived after a failed building jump, with a penetrating injury to the femoral triangle. Dr. Alemdaroğlu found not only arterial damage but a traumatic arteriovenous fistula. Using intraoperative ultrasound guidance, he performed simultaneous arterial repair and fistula closure. The patient walked out in 6 days and returned to modified training in 3 months.

A 45-year-old Syrian refugee seamstress presented with worsening leg ulcers and pain while working long hours in a textile factory. Diagnosis revealed Buerger's disease despite her being a non-smoker; Dr. Alemdaroğlu suspected chemical exposure from fabrics. Treatment involved spinal cord stimulation for pain and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. She achieved wound healing after 8 weeks and was relocated to a safer workplace.

A 28-year-old female competitive freediver presented with recurring hand numbness and cold intolerance during deep dives. Dr. Alemdaroğlu discovered a rare thoracic outlet syndrome variant exacerbated by extreme pressure changes. He performed a minimally invasive first rib resection via transaxillary approach. The patient returned to competitive diving after 3 months, setting a national depth record.

A 72-year-old retired railway signalman from a rural village presented with a painless, pulsating abdominal mass he'd ignored for years. Dr. Alemdaroğlu diagnosed a 9cm inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm with unusual retroperitoneal fibrosis. The complex open repair required meticulous dissection around ureters. The patient recovered fully but required temporary dialysis, returning to his olive grove after 5 months.

As a 72-year-old retired geology professor with a rare heart arrhythmia triggered by mineral imbalances, I collapsed during a field trip near the Taurus Mountains. Dr. Kindan didn't just treat my cardiac event—he recognized my specific mineral deficiency pattern from my research notes and coordinated with a nephrologist to create a stabilization protocol that addressed the root cause while managing the emergency. His ability to connect specialized knowledge saved me from what others might have treated as a standard heart attack.

My 8-year-old daughter, an aspiring gymnast, suffered a complex spiral fracture during an earthquake drill at school when equipment toppled. Dr. Kindan not only expertly set the fracture in the chaotic ER, but spent 20 minutes explaining the healing process to her using gymnastics metaphors, showing her X-rays like puzzle pieces needing to align. His trauma care extended beyond medicine—he preserved her passion while fixing her arm.

I'm a 28-year-old software developer who experienced sudden paralysis while coding. Rushed to Adana Acibadem, Dr. Kindan suspected not just a spinal issue but recognized rare symptoms of a thoracic aortic dissection mimicking stroke. His immediate decision to order a specific vascular scan instead of following stroke protocol saved my life. During recovery, he checked daily, explaining how my coding logic mirrored diagnostic processes.

Our 16-year-old son, a champion swimmer, was pulled from the Seyhan River with near-drowning and hypothermia. Dr. Kindan's team performed controlled rewarming while he personally managed the pulmonary edema with precision. What stood out was his follow-up: he arranged for a pulmonologist specializing in athletes and created a gradual return-to-sport protocol that respected both medical safety and our son's athletic identity.

My 82-year-old father, Ahmet, fell in our garden in Kozan and fractured his hip. The ambulance brought him to Adana Hospital Acibadem in immense pain. Dr. Veysel Doğan met us in the trauma bay with a calm that immediately settled our panic. He didn't just see an elderly patient; he saw my father—asking about his history with such respect. He coordinated with orthopedics seamlessly for surgery. What struck me was his follow-up the next morning. He sat by the bed, explained the post-op risks for seniors in plain Turkish, and adjusted pain management personally. His hands were both skilled and gentle. We felt guided through a crisis by a true captain.

Our 5-year-old daughter, Elif, swallowed a small toy battery at a family wedding in Adana. Pure terror. At the ER, Dr. Doğan moved with a focused, rapid efficiency I've never seen. He didn't waste a second, yet his voice to our crying child was soft, almost playful, distracting her as his team prepared. He explained the critical timeline to us with clear, direct facts—no sugarcoating, but no unnecessary alarm. He performed the retrieval procedure himself. When he came out holding that tiny battery, the relief was overwhelming. He then gave us a firm but kind lecture on childproofing, handing us a pamphlet. He turned our worst nightmare into a managed emergency.

I'm a long-distance truck driver. I came in for what I thought was just severe heartburn after a spicy meal. Dr. Doğan, during a seemingly routine check for abdominal pain, noticed a subtle asymmetry in my pulse and blood pressure between my arms. He looked skeptical of my 'heartburn' story. He ordered a specific CT scan I'd never heard of. It revealed a dissecting aortic aneurysm—a 'silent killer.' He explained the gravity without sending me into a spiral, his tone factual but urgent. His swift diagnosis and direct handover to the vascular surgery team saved my life on the spot. This wasn't treatment; it was a rescue mission initiated by a doctor who looks beyond the obvious.

Following a complex motorcycle accident where I had multiple facial fractures and a pneumothorax, my follow-up visits with Dr. Doğan were unexpectedly comprehensive. He remembered every detail of my initial trauma from weeks prior. Instead of a quick wound check, he spent time asking about my breathing capacity during my daily walks, my sleep quality, and even my anxiety about scarring. He reviewed all my imaging again with me, pointing out the healing progress I couldn't see. He connected me with a physiotherapist for rib recovery, something I hadn't considered. His care extended far beyond the emergency room; he managed the entire trajectory of my recovery with the precision of a project manager and the empathy of a healer.

At 52, I was convinced my severe pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding were just 'the change.' My local GP kept dismissing it. Dr. Noyan listened differently—he actually leaned forward, his eyes narrowing slightly as I described the cramping that felt like glass shards. He ordered a specific ultrasound his team developed for complex cases. It revealed a rare, pedunculated fibroid twisted on itself, requiring immediate surgery. His approach wasn't just clinical; he drew me a simple diagram on his notepad, showing exactly what was happening and how he'd fix it. The laparoscopic surgery was flawless. He called my husband himself post-op to explain everything. He treated me not as a menopausal statistic, but as a person with a unique problem needing a unique solution.

Our 14-year-old daughter developed sudden, crippling ovarian pain during a family vacation near Adana. The ER at Acibadem was chaotic, but the moment Dr. Noyan entered our curtained area, the chaos muted. He spoke directly to our terrified daughter in a calm, steady tone, asking about her school and hobbies before gently guiding her to describe the pain. He suspected ovarian torsion from a cyst and moved with urgent grace. He explained the time-critical need for surgery to save the ovary to all three of us simultaneously, making sure our daughter understood first. In the OR, he used a minimally invasive technique that left only two tiny scars. His follow-up was remarkable: he sent her a get-well card signed by the entire OR team. He didn't just save an organ; he preserved a young girl's future fertility and dignity.

My wife's routine 20-week anatomy scan turned into a nightmare when they found signs of placenta accreta. We were referred to Dr. Noyan for what was termed a 'potential catastrophic delivery.' For three months, he managed her case like a military strategist. He created a personalized risk map, held a multi-disciplinary meeting with vascular surgery and interventional radiology that we were invited to observe, and had a detailed, color-coded delivery plan. The day of the scheduled C-section was intense, but his calm was contagious. He performed the surgery with precise, controlled movements, successfully delivering our healthy son and managing the placental removal without a hysterectomy, which we were told was nearly impossible. His skill was a scalpel; his demeanor was a blanket. We owe our complete family to his unparalleled foresight and technical mastery.

I visited Dr. Noyan for a simple IUD replacement. What should have been a 10-minute procedure became a complex retrieval when the strings retracted. Instead of rushing or causing discomfort, he paused, put his instruments down, and said, 'We have two options: we can try a gentle hook technique now, or I can schedule a quick hysteroscopic removal under light sedation. Your comfort dictates my next move.' I chose the in-office procedure. He used a tiny, flexible scope with a camera, showing me the screen so I could see exactly what he was doing—the IUD nestled in the corner of my uterus. He retrieved it with minimal discomfort, chatting softly about the engineering of IUDs the whole time. It was a routine visit transformed into an empowering lesson in my own anatomy. He turns every encounter, no matter how small, into respectful collaboration.
