At 78, I'd accepted that constant bloating and unpredictable digestion were just part of aging. My local doctor kept prescribing the same antacids. My daughter insisted I see Prof. Kocaman for a 'proper look.' He didn't just listen, he investigated. He suspected something beyond typical aging and ordered a specific, detailed capsule endoscopy. He discovered a slow-bleeding angiodysplasia in my small intestine, something previous scans missed. His treatment plan was gentle but precise, argon plasma coagulation during a deep enteroscopy. For the first time in a decade, I feel light and predictable. He gave me my golden years back. His patience with an old man's worries was as remarkable as his skill.

Our 9-year-old son, Ali, developed severe, recurrent abdominal pain that kept him out of school. Pediatricians were stumped, suggesting 'anxiety.' We felt hopeless. Prof. Kocaman approached him not just as a small patient, but as a little person. He used drawings to explain the digestive system, earning Ali's trust. He meticulously ruled out common issues and, considering the pattern, suspected abdominal migraine, a rare presentation in children. He coordinated with a pediatric neurologist and designed a dietary and lifestyle plan, avoiding heavy medications. The change was miraculous. Ali is now pain-free and back to football. Prof. Kocaman is the doctor who finally saw our child, not just a chart.

I was on a business trip from Frankfurt when I was rushed to Medical Park Bahçelievler with crippling upper abdominal pain and vomiting blood, a terrifying experience in a foreign country. Prof. Kocaman took over my emergency care at 2 AM. He was calm, decisive, and communicated perfectly in English. The emergency endoscopy revealed a bleeding Dieulafoy's lesion, a rare and dangerous arterial malformation. He performed an endoscopic hemoclipping procedure immediately, stopping the hemorrhage. He then personally monitored me in the ICU for 24 hours. His expertise turned a potential catastrophe into a controlled, resolved incident. He is a master of crisis medicine.

As a 45-year-old with a family history of colon cancer, I went for a routine screening colonoscopy with Prof. Kocaman. What I expected to be a simple checkup turned into a life-saving intervention. He discovered and completely removed a large, sessile serrated polyp in my ascending colon, a type with high malignant potential that's easily missed. His technique was meticulous; he used advanced endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). The follow-up was just as thorough. He explained the histology results in detail, mapped out a precise surveillance schedule, and provided clear lifestyle guidance. His vigilance during a routine procedure turned it into profound prevention. I don't just feel checked; I feel protected.
