M.D. Nurşat Erdemli Reviews

We rushed to Acibadem Ankara at 2 AM with our 6-month-old daughter, Elif, in respiratory distress. Dr. Erdemli, who wasn't even on the overnight shift, was called in. He diagnosed a rare tracheal web in minutes. What stayed with me was his calm voice explaining each step while simultaneously directing the team. He held a tiny bronchoscope like a painter holds a brush. After stabilization, he sat on the floor of the ICU with us, drawing diagrams on a napkin. We weren't just an emergency; we became his project for full recovery.

My 93-year-old mother, who has dementia, developed a severe pediatric complication from a medication interaction—yes, at her age! Dr. Erdemli was the only specialist willing to consult. He didn't just treat the acute issue; he spent an hour with our family explaining how aging physiology can mirror childhood vulnerabilities. His cross-generational approach was breathtaking. He coordinated with her geriatrician to create a 'pediatric-style' monitoring plan that transformed her care. We call him our family's 'lifespan doctor.'

Our 8-year-old son, Kerem, needed a complex abdominal surgery that three other hospitals deemed too risky. Dr. Erdemli's pre-op consultation was unlike any other—he used 3D-printed models of Kerem's own anatomy to show us the procedure. During the 6-hour surgery, he sent us two brief, reassuring updates. His post-op care was meticulous; he even noticed a subtle change in Kerem's gait that signaled a minor nerve irritation nobody else caught. A year later, Kerem is in a soccer league. Dr. Erdemli doesn't just operate; he engineers futures.

For our daughter's routine 5-year checkup, Dr. Erdemli spent 40 minutes asking about her imaginary friends, her fear of ceiling fans, and her eating habits. He then connected these seemingly random details to developmental milestones and potential nutritional gaps. He prescribed no medicine, just a 'recipe' for play-based learning and a food chart shaped like a castle. The follow-up wasn't a clinic visit; he had his assistant call us two weeks later to ask if the 'castle diet' was working. It's preventive care that feels like a partnership in magic-making.
