Assoc. Prof. MD. Adil Turan

My 82-year-old mother fractured her hip in a fall at her Antalya apartment. From the emergency admission at Medical Park, Dr. Turan's calm authority was a beacon. He didn't just see a broken bone; he saw a vibrant woman who tended her balcony garden and played backgammon. His approach was a delicate balance: explaining the complex cementless arthroplasty procedure with startling clarity using simple analogies, while simultaneously reassuring me, her anxious son. Post-surgery, his team had her standing (with support) on day two. His follow-up protocol wasn't just about X-rays; it included specific exercises to regain her confidence in walking. Six months later, she's back to beating me at backgammon. Dr. Turan gave her back her independence, and for that, our family is eternally grateful.

Our 9-year-old daughter, Lara, a budding gymnast, developed severe knee pain that local clinics dismissed as 'growing pains.' Dr. Turan was our last resort. The difference was immediate. He got down on her level, asked about her favorite vaults, and examined her with such gentle precision she didn't flinch. He diagnosed a rare osteochondritis dissecans lesion. His explanation used a 'cracked tile in a gym floor' analogy that even Lara understood. He mapped out a conservative treatment plan first, a specific brace and modified training, avoiding surgery. He coordinated with her coach. At each follow-up, he'd high-five her for progress. The lesion healed completely. He didn't just fix a knee; he protected a child's dream with meticulous, compassionate care. A truly gifted doctor who speaks the language of both worried parents and injured children.

I'm a 45-year-old rock climber who presented not with an acute injury, but with a confusing, chronic shoulder instability that multiple doctors couldn't agree on. One said surgery, another said physio forever. Dr. Turan's consultation was a masterclass in diagnostic depth. He spent an hour on history alone, asking about specific climbing holds that triggered the 'dead arm' sensation. His physical exam was unlike any other, a series of subtle, specific maneuvers that precisely replicated my problem. His conclusion: a combined Bankart lesion and subtle ALPSA lesion, missed on earlier MRIs. He presented three detailed surgical options (open, arthroscopic, a hybrid), with hand-drawn diagrams of each, including long-term pros/cons for an active lifestyle. I opted for the arthroscopic capsulolabral repair. The surgery was textbook; his post-op protocol was brutal but brilliant, tailored to climbing biomechanics. At 9 months, I'm back on the wall, stronger and more stable than ever. Dr. Turan is a detective-surgeon, solving puzzles others overlook.

I was a tourist from Norway, mid-hike in the Taurus Mountains, when I took a bad fall, suffering a complex, open tibia-fibula fracture. Rushed to Medical Park Antalya's ER, I was terrified, in agony, and alone. Dr. Turan took charge of my case that night. His English was flawless, his demeanor both urgent and deeply reassuring. He explained the immediate risks of infection and compartment syndrome with stark honesty, then outlined his plan: emergency debridement, external fixation, and delayed internal fixation once the soft tissues stabilized. He handled my panic and my pain. The staged surgeries were successes. What stunned me was his commitment post-discharge. He set up remote follow-ups via a secure portal, reviewed my Oslo surgeon's notes, and remained a point of contact for questions. He turned a holiday nightmare into a managed, successful recovery from thousands of miles away. This is world-class, patient-centric trauma care.
