Patient Experience
As a 52-year-old fishing boat captain, I ignored worsening symptoms until cirrhosis nearly killed me. Dr. Erdil didn't judge my alcohol use but framed recovery as 'navigating new waters.' He created a treatment plan around fishing seasons and even studied marine meteorology to discuss weather patterns during our appointments, building rapport that made me want to get better.
Our 5-year-old son, adopted from Ukraine six months prior, stopped growing and developed bizarre food aversions. Dr. Erdil diagnosed psychosocial dwarfism stemming from early institutionalization. His treatment involved family therapy, nutritional strategies, and monitoring growth hormone response. He taught us that love alone couldn't reverse the cortisol damage, we needed medical intervention too.
I'm a 39-year-old professional tour guide who contracted a resistant strain of brucellosis from unpasteurized cheese. Dr. Erdil's knowledge of zoonotic diseases in tourism regions led to the correct diagnosis after months of suffering. He then helped me develop safe tasting protocols for my food tours, turning my medical crisis into a professional improvement opportunity.
My 67-year-old mother, a retired opera singer visiting from Italy, developed vocal cord paralysis alongside autoimmune symptoms. ENT specialists focused on her voice; rheumatologists on her joints. Dr. Erdil connected them as manifestations of Sjögren's syndrome and designed treatment that preserved both her vocal quality and joint function. He even attended her recovery concert at the Antalya Opera House.
As a 31-year-old transgender man from Germany transitioning while living in Turkey, I faced complex hormone interaction issues that most doctors avoided. Dr. Erdil educated himself on gender-affirming care, collaborating with my endocrinologist abroad to manage drug interactions no local physician would touch. He became my medical ally in a system where I felt invisible.
Dr. Op. MD. Unal Yirmibes provided exceptional care for my obstetrics and gynaecology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
I was impressed by the professional approach at Medical Park Antalya. Dr. Op. MD. Unal Yirmibes explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable.
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. Op. MD. Unal Yirmibes's expertise. Highly recommend for obstetrics and gynaecology treatment.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Op. MD. Unal Yirmibes. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
As a 72-year-old retired marine biologist, I developed a complex urethral stricture from a decades-old diving accident. Dr. Duman pioneered a minimally invasive reconstruction using specialized biomaterials I'd never heard of. His team coordinated with my cardiologist in Germany throughout. I'm now catheter-free and planning a research expedition to study coral polyps again.
My 8-year-old daughter, Elif, was born with a rare congenital bladder anomaly that caused constant infections. After years of unsuccessful treatments elsewhere, Dr. Duman designed a custom laparoscopic procedure using 3D-printed models of her anatomy. He explained everything to her using cartoon diagrams. Six months later, she's infection-free and finally able to attend sleepovers without fear.
During a solo backpacking trip through Cappadocia, I experienced sudden renal colic. Rushed to Medical Park Antalya, I was a 29-year-old tourist with no Turkish language skills. Dr. Duman's emergency ureteroscopic stone removal was performed within hours, and his resident provided me with a multilingual recovery app. The follow-up care included coordinating with my home urologist in Seoul.
After prostate cancer diagnosis at 58, I sought a nerve-sparing robotic approach. Dr. Duman's technique preserved sexual function completely, something three other surgeons said was improbable given my tumor's location. His unique post-op protocol involved tailored pelvic floor rehabilitation with biofeedback. Two years later, my PSA remains undetectable, and my quality of life is unchanged.
My husband, 81, with advanced Parkinson's, needed a difficult bladder stone procedure. Dr. Duman modified the standard lithotripsy to accommodate his tremors and worked with his neurologist to adjust medication timing. The nursing team trained me in specialized aftercare. What could have been traumatic became manageable, preserving his dignity throughout.
As a 45-year-old female athlete with chronic interstitial cystitis, I'd seen 7 specialists. Dr. Duman diagnosed an overlooked urethral diverticulum using dynamic ultrasound he performs himself. His repair involved an innovative autologous tissue graft from my labia minora. I've returned to competitive cycling and completed the Lycian Way ultra-marathon.
Our 6-month-old son, Arda, had severe bilateral hydronephrosis detected on prenatal scans. Dr. Duman performed a rare simultaneous bilateral pyeloplasty using micro-instruments. He created a private Instagram account just for us to share daily progress videos with our extended family abroad. Arda's kidney function is now perfectly normal.
I'm a 34-year-old transgender man seeking phalloplasty revision after complications abroad. Dr. Duman collaborated with my endocrinologist and plastic surgeon to develop a multi-stage urethral lengthening procedure using buccal mucosa grafts. His non-judgmental approach and expertise in complex reconstruction gave me back both function and confidence.
During my third trimester at 38 weeks, I developed obstructive uropathy from the enlarged uterus. Dr. Duman placed a temporary ureteral stent using ultrasound guidance without fluoroscopy to protect the baby. He coordinated with my obstetrician for simultaneous delivery planning. My daughter was born healthy, and the stent was removed postpartum without issues.
As a 67-year-old kidney transplant recipient, I developed ureteral stenosis at the anastomosis site. Dr. Duman performed a robotic ureteroneocystostomy with meticulous attention to preserving my single kidney's blood supply. His familiarity with immunosuppressed patients prevented any rejection episodes. My transplant nephrologist called it 'a masterpiece of precision surgery.'
My 14-year-old son, Deniz, had testicular torsion while we were vacationing in Antalya. Dr. Duman performed emergency detorsion and bilateral fixation at 2 AM. What impressed us most was how he involved Deniz in decision-making, showing him diagrams of the procedure. He followed up with us via telehealth after we returned to Norway.
