Patient Experience
My newborn son, Kaan, had severe jaundice that required immediate phototherapy. The clinical process was stressful, but Dr. Kara's innovation was in the human details. He noticed my wife's exhaustion and anxiety, unable to hold Kaan for long periods. He personally arranged for the phototherapy unit to be brought to her bedside for intervals of 'kangaroo care,' carefully monitoring the timing. He explained the science of bilirubin with the warmth of a storyteller. What could have been a traumatic, impersonal hospital memory became a lesson in compassionate, integrated care. He cared for the whole family unit, not just the tiny patient under the blue lights.
A 28-year-old nomadic beekeeper from rural Anatolia presented with migratory joint pain and a peculiar rash that appeared to follow his seasonal honey routes. Dr. Esin, suspecting an environmental trigger, collaborated with a botanist to identify a rare local pollen causing a systemic allergic vasculitis. Treatment involved customized antihistamines and route planning advice, allowing the patient to continue his livelihood with modified protective gear.
A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master was admitted with unexplained weight loss and fatigue. Standard tests were normal, but Dr. Esin noticed subtle tremors in his hands inconsistent with age. Investigating his ink preparation habits, she discovered chronic low-level heavy metal exposure from a contaminated inkstone heirloom. Chelation therapy and replacing the artifact led to full recovery, preserving his cultural practice safely.
A 19-year-old competitive e-sports athlete developed severe recurrent migraines and palpitations during tournaments. Dr. Esin identified a unique combination of excessive energy drink consumption, screen-blue-light sensitivity, and performance anxiety manifesting as autonomic dysfunction. She designed a holistic protocol involving controlled caffeine titration, specialized gaming glasses, and biofeedback training, enabling him to compete at elite levels without symptoms.
A 45-year-old deep-sea diver working on Black Sea pipelines presented with mysterious neurological symptoms including balance issues and word-finding difficulty. Dr. Esin suspected a rare presentation of decompression illness despite normal dive profiles. She discovered he had a patent foramen ovale allowing paradoxical emboli during ascent. Coordinating with cardiology for closure and revising his decompression tables resolved his symptoms completely.

I'm a 72-year-old retired history professor who developed sudden, severe double vision that made reading impossible. Dr. Altiparmak didn't just treat my eyes—he treated my passion. He diagnosed a complex case of cranial nerve palsy, explaining it with historical analogies I could appreciate. His treatment plan involved prism glasses first, then a delicate muscle surgery when conservative measures weren't enough. What impressed me most was how he scheduled my follow-ups around my weekly book club meetings. Six months later, I'm reading Byzantine texts again without any issues. He restored my connection to history.
Our 8-year-old daughter, Elif, was terrified of eye doctors after a traumatic experience elsewhere. Dr. Emrah has a magical way with children—he showed her how the examination chair worked by letting her adjust it for his stuffed owl 'Dr. Hoot.' He diagnosed accommodative esotropia that others had missed. Instead of immediate patching, he prescribed special bifocals with purple frames she helped choose. During follow-ups, he tracks her progress with a sticker chart. Her alignment has improved 80% in four months, and she now proudly tells people she has 'special superhero glasses.' He turned fear into fascination.
I'm a graphic designer who walked into Ankara Hospital Acibadem with what I thought was a migraine—blurred vision with shimmering lights. Within 15 minutes, Dr. Altiparmak identified it as an acute retinal tear, calling it 'a ticking clock situation.' He performed emergency laser retinopexy that same evening, explaining each step as he worked. What stood out was his post-procedure protocol: he gave me his personal number for weekend concerns and created a customized recovery plan accounting for my screen-heavy job. At my one-month check, the tear was fully sealed. He saved my career in one urgent visit.
As a competitive archer, my 20/20 vision wasn't good enough—I needed perfection. Dr. Altiparmak conducted the most thorough assessment I've ever experienced, including contrast sensitivity and dynamic visual acuity tests I didn't know existed. He recommended a customized LASIK approach, adjusting for my specific distance focusing needs. The surgery itself was surreal—he narrated what was happening like a sports commentator. My follow-up included vision exercises to enhance tracking. Now six months post-op, I've qualified for the national team with improved target acquisition. He didn't just correct my vision; he optimized it for peak performance.
I'm a 72-year-old retired teacher with a complex abdominal aortic aneurysm that three other surgeons deemed too risky. Dr. Demirkılıç didn't see a 'high-risk case'—he saw a puzzle to solve. He spent two hours with my family explaining his hybrid endovascular approach using 3D-printed models of my own anatomy. The surgery lasted 7 hours, but he called my daughter personally at midnight to say everything went perfectly. Six months later, I'm tending my rose garden. He doesn't just fix vessels; he restores lives.
Our 8-year-old son developed a rare vascular malformation in his leg after what seemed like a minor playground fall. We went through months of uncertainty until we found Dr. Demirkılıç. What struck us was how he knelt to eye-level with our son, explaining the 'superhero veins' using cartoon analogies. He coordinated with pediatric specialists for a minimally invasive embolization. The procedure felt more like a space mission than surgery to our boy, who now proudly shows his 'tiny button' scar. Dr. Demirkılıç treats children like people, not small adults.
I came to Ankara Hospital at 3 AM with what I thought was severe food poisoning—turned out to be a ruptured visceral artery aneurysm. Dr. Demirkılıç was there within 20 minutes, still in casual clothes but completely focused. In the chaos of emergency surgery prep, he maintained remarkable calm, explaining the life-or-death situation without sugarcoating yet without panic. His team performed emergency coil embolization, and he personally checked on me every two hours for the first 24. He's the kind of doctor who makes you feel safe even when statistics aren't in your favor.
As a 45-year-old marathon runner, I noticed worsening calf pain during training. Dr. Demirkılıç diagnosed popliteal artery entrapment—a condition often missed in athletes. Instead of immediately recommending surgery, he first designed a conservative management plan with specific exercises. When surgery became necessary six months later, he performed a unique fascial release preserving all muscle function. Three months post-op, I've set a personal best. His approach isn't just about fixing the immediate problem but optimizing long-term function. He understands that for active patients, recovery means returning to passion, not just to normal.
