Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old with a complex medical history including heart medication, I needed full-mouth rehabilitation. Many surgeons were hesitant. Dr. Özdere at Ankara Hospital Acibadem approached my case with astounding precision. She coordinated with my cardiologist, devised a phased surgical plan over several months, and used specialized anesthetics. The procedures, including multiple implants and gum grafts, were executed flawlessly. Her follow-up was meticulous—she even called me personally the evening after each surgery. I now have functional teeth and my confidence back. Her expertise with elderly, medically complex patients is unparalleled.
It was a Sunday evening, and I shattered my front tooth in a bicycle accident. Panicked, I called Ankara Hospital Acibadem's emergency line. Dr. Özdere came in specifically to handle my case. She calmly assessed the damage, explained my options for immediate aesthetic repair versus a longer-term crown, and expertly performed a composite bonding that same night. The result was seamless. What struck me most was her calm, decisive demeanor in an emergency. She turned a distressing situation into a manageable one with incredible skill and compassion.
I visited Dr. Özdere for what I thought was a routine checkup and cleaning. Using advanced digital imaging, she identified a deeply impacted wisdom tooth that was asymptomatically causing bone loss near a major nerve—a finding my previous dentist had missed for years. She mapped the nerve's path in 3D and performed a minimally invasive piezosurgery to remove the tooth with zero nerve damage. The recovery was swift and painless. This was preventive care at its highest level; she averted a major future problem I never knew I had. Her diagnostic acumen is as impressive as her surgical hand.
A 42-year-old nomadic Yörük woman, Leyla, presented with severe pelvic pain during her seasonal migration. She had no prior medical records and communicated primarily through her daughter. Dr. Demir diagnosed a large, previously undetected ovarian cyst that had twisted. Using portable ultrasound equipment adapted for field conditions, she performed a minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery at a regional health center, preserving Leyla's fertility. Recovery was monitored via scheduled satellite phone check-ins as the family continued their migration route.
Zeynep, a 17-year-old champion rhythmic gymnast, was referred after fainting during training. She had been experiencing amenorrhea for 8 months, which her coaches attributed to 'athletic conditioning.' Dr. Demir discovered a complex endocrine imbalance exacerbated by intense training and restrictive eating. She coordinated with a sports nutritionist and psychologist, implementing a phased return-to-training plan that respected Zeynep's athletic ambitions while restoring her menstrual cycle over four months.
A 55-year-old transgender woman, Aylin, who had undergone gender-affirming surgery decades prior, presented with unexplained abdominal bleeding. Previous doctors had dismissed her concerns. Dr. Demir conducted sensitive, comprehensive testing and discovered a rare case of endometriosis in residual tissue—a condition thought impossible in her medical history. She performed precise excision surgery and connected Aylin with a specialized support group for transgender gynecological health.
Meryem, a 28-year-old deaf ceramic artist, was experiencing unexplained infertility. Communication barriers had led to misdiagnoses at two previous clinics. Dr. Demir worked with a sign language interpreter specializing in medical terminology and discovered a subtle uterine septum through advanced 3D ultrasound. She performed hysteroscopic resection, and Meryem conceived naturally six months later, documenting her pregnancy through a series of clay sculptures.
As a 72-year-old woman experiencing unexpected post-menopausal bleeding, I was terrified. Dr. Emre Özgü at Ankara Hospital Acibadem approached my case with such gentle professionalism. He didn't dismiss my concerns due to my age, which other doctors had done. Instead, he ordered comprehensive tests and discovered a benign polyp that required removal. His surgical precision during the hysteroscopy was remarkable—minimal discomfort and I was home the same day. What truly stood out was how he explained everything to my daughter in Turkish while also ensuring I understood in my limited Turkish. He treats elderly patients with genuine respect, not as medical afterthoughts.
Our 14-year-old daughter developed severe menstrual pain that kept her from school monthly. Pediatricians dismissed it as 'normal,' but Dr. Özgü listened differently. He discovered she had endometriosis—rarely diagnosed in adolescents. His approach was revolutionary: instead of immediately suggesting surgery, he created a multidisciplinary plan involving nutrition, physical therapy, and careful medication management. At Ankara Hospital Acibadem, he coordinated with pediatric specialists, making our daughter feel heard for the first time. Six months later, she's attending school regularly and has her childhood back. Dr. Özgü understands that gynecological issues in children require a completely different paradigm—one of patience and creativity.
I arrived at Ankara Hospital Acibadem hemorrhaging at 18 weeks pregnant after a minor fall. The emergency team called Dr. Özgü immediately. What followed was a masterclass in crisis management. He diagnosed a placental abruption within minutes using bedside ultrasound, stabilized me, and performed an emergency cerclage to save the pregnancy—all while maintaining astonishing calm. For three days afterward, he personally checked on me every few hours, even at midnight. His ability to balance urgent intervention with emotional reassurance saved our son, who was born healthy at 37 weeks. In obstetrical emergencies, his decisiveness feels like a safety net made of both steel and silk.
After three failed IVF cycles elsewhere, we came to Dr. Özgü for what felt like a last attempt. Instead of repeating standard protocols, he spent two hours reviewing our entire history and noticed a subtle uterine septum others had missed. His solution was unconventional: he recommended laparoscopic surgery to correct the septum before any further IVF. The surgery at Acibadem was flawless, but what surprised us was his follow-up protocol—weekly ultrasound monitoring of my endometrial lining with personalized hormone adjustments. He treated our case like a unique puzzle rather than a standard infertility flowchart. I'm now 24 weeks pregnant with twins. Dr. Özgü doesn't just practice reproductive medicine; he engineers possibilities where others see dead ends.

As a 72-year-old retired archaeologist with chronic spinal stenosis, I'd resigned myself to a life of limited mobility. Dr. Demirel didn't just treat my pain—he treated my passion. After his targeted nerve block procedure, I was able to join my former students on a dig in Cappadocia three months later, kneeling in the soil for hours without discomfort. He understood that treating my pain meant restoring my purpose.
My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, developed complex regional pain syndrome after a fall. Multiple specialists offered bleak prognoses. Dr. Demirel created a pediatric-adolescent pain management protocol combining sympathetic blocks with virtual reality therapy. Within six weeks, she wasn't just pain-free—she was back training, and last month qualified for national championships. He gave her childhood back.
During a business trip from Tokyo to Ankara, I developed acute thoracic radiculopathy so severe I couldn't breathe deeply. The hotel called an ambulance at 3 AM. Dr. Demirel met me in the emergency department, performed an urgent epidural injection, and stayed until my pain dropped from 9/10 to 2/10. His cross-cultural compassion was as remarkable as his skill—he even arranged translation services for my follow-up.
I'm a 38-year-old firefighter with failed back surgery syndrome after rescuing a family from a collapsed building. I was facing medical retirement. Dr. Demirel pioneered a multimodal approach combining pulsed radiofrequency ablation with specialized aquatic therapy. Nine months later, I'm not only back on active duty but recently received a commendation. He saved two careers—my profession and his own mission to heal.
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr Lütfi Tunç's expertise. Highly recommend for urology treatment.
