Op. MD. Bugra Cetin

I'm a 72-year-old retired engineer who'd been struggling with nighttime urination for years, getting up 5-6 times, completely disrupting sleep. Multiple doctors just said 'it's normal aging.' Dr. Cetin actually listened to my technical explanations of flow patterns. He performed a detailed ultrasound right there in his office at Medical Park Bahçelievler, showing me exactly how my prostate was compressing the urethra. His minimally invasive procedure (he called it 'Rezum') took 15 minutes under local anesthesia. Three months later, I sleep through the night. He even followed up with a video call to check on me from his vacation. This isn't just medicine, it's restoration of quality life.

Our 8-year-old son developed sudden, severe abdominal pain during our Istanbul vacation. The hotel doctor suspected appendicitis, but at Medical Park's emergency department, Dr. Cetin recognized immediately it was a pediatric ureteral stone, something rare in children. He calmed our panicked boy by explaining kidney function using cartoon drawings from his tablet. The non-surgical lithotripsy treatment felt like magic, no incisions, just sound waves. What amazed us was how Dr. Cetin modified his entire approach for a child: speaking softly, letting him hold the ultrasound probe, promising 'no needles' and keeping that promise. We're from Germany, and this level of compassionate pediatric urology surpassed anything we've experienced back home.

As a 45-year-old marathon runner, discovering blood in my urine was terrifying. Previous urologists dismissed it as 'runner's hematuria.' Dr. Cetin noticed microscopic patterns others missed and insisted on a cystoscopy when all tests were 'normal.' He found a small bladder tumor invisible on scans. His robotic surgery at Medical Park felt like science fiction, tiny incisions, precise movements. But what truly distinguished him was the post-op protocol: customized hydration plan based on my sweat rate, return-to-running schedule, and nutritional guidance to prevent recurrence. He treated me not as a 'bladder case' but as an athlete whose body is his instrument. Six months later, I'm racing again, with clearer urine than I've had in years.

My wife's advanced kidney cancer required radical nephrectomy during her second trimester of pregnancy, an unimaginable scenario. Multiple hospitals refused treatment due to complexity. Dr. Cetin coordinated a multidisciplinary team at Medical Park Bahçelievler, performing laparoscopic surgery with fetal monitoring throughout. He explained each anatomical consideration: how he'd preserve adrenal function, avoid uterine disturbance, maintain placental flow. The surgery lasted 4 hours; our daughter's heartbeat remained steady. He visited my wife twice daily for a week, once at midnight when she was anxious. Our baby girl was born healthy last month. Dr. Cetin doesn't just treat organs, he protects futures. We've named our daughter 'Nefise' partly in silent gratitude for nephrology saved.
