Patient Experience
I'm a 72-year-old retired teacher who had been living with an enlarged prostate for years, trying every herbal tea and medication with little relief. The constant nighttime trips to the bathroom were destroying my sleep. Professor Sarier didn't just prescribe another pill, he explained the revolutionary Rezum water vapor therapy in such simple terms my grandchildren could understand. The procedure at Medical Park Antalya felt like nothing, truly. Now, three months later, I sleep through the night for the first time in a decade. What impressed me most was his follow-up: he personally called me twice after the procedure to check on my recovery. This isn't just treatment; it's restoration of quality life.
Our 8-year-old son developed sudden, severe abdominal pain during our family vacation in Antalya. We rushed to Medical Park in panic, not speaking much Turkish. Professor Sarier met us in the emergency urology department with a calm translator. He diagnosed a rare ureteropelvic junction obstruction that had suddenly become symptomatic. Instead of immediate surgery, he created a careful observation plan with ultrasound monitoring, explaining that children's bodies sometimes resolve these issues naturally. For six months, he reviewed every scan himself, even responding to our emailed questions from Germany. Last week, he confirmed the obstruction has significantly improved, no surgery needed. He treated our child like his own, with extraordinary patience and caution.
As a 45-year-old marathon runner, discovering blood in my urine was terrifying. Multiple doctors elsewhere suggested invasive cystoscopies immediately. Professor Sarier took a completely different approach at my routine checkup. He ordered specific urine marker tests and a detailed ultrasound first, saying 'Let's not invade unless we must.' He found a small, benign renal papilla issue related to my extreme hydration during long runs. His solution was surprisingly simple: adjust my hydration strategy and monitor. What sets him apart is his philosophy of 'minimal necessary intervention.' He saved me from unnecessary procedures with his methodical, evidence-based thinking. I've recommended him to every athlete in my running club.
Following complex kidney stone surgery elsewhere that left me with a persistent stent and recurrent infections, I was desperate. Professor Sarier reviewed my case and identified that the original stent material was causing a chronic inflammatory reaction, something previous urologists had missed. At Medical Park Antalya, he performed a precise endoscopic stent exchange using a new biocompatible material. But his genius was in the microbial biofilm analysis he ordered from the removed stent, which revealed exactly which antibiotics would work. For the first time in two years, I'm infection-free. His approach combines surgical skill with microbiological detective work I've never encountered. He doesn't just treat symptoms; he solves root causes with scientific precision.
