Prof. MD. Sinan Yol

I was terrified when my 8-year-old son, Ali, complained of sudden, severe abdominal pain. We rushed to Medical Park Bahçelievler in the middle of the night. Dr. Prof. Sinan Yol was on call. He examined Ali with such gentle patience, explaining everything to him in simple terms, even making him smile. He diagnosed acute appendicitis and performed the laparoscopic surgery himself. The incisions were tiny, and Ali was playing video games the next afternoon. Dr. Yol's calm, fatherly demeanor with my child turned a nightmare into a manageable experience. We are forever grateful.

As a 72-year-old with a complex hernia that three other surgeons deemed 'too risky' due to my heart condition, I had lost hope. Consultation with Prof. Dr. Sinan Yol was a revelation. He didn't see a risk; he saw a puzzle to solve. He coordinated personally with my cardiologist, designed a tailored surgical plan using a special mesh technique, and explained it all to me with clear diagrams. The surgery was a success. At my 6-month follow-up, I am pain-free and gardening again. His expertise isn't just technical; it's in seeing the whole patient.

My story isn't about a dramatic surgery, but about vigilance that saved my life. During a routine check-up for recurring indigestion, Dr. Yol was not satisfied with the basic tests. His instinct, honed by decades of experience, pushed for more specific investigations. He discovered a very early-stage, asymptomatic gallbladder carcinoma. He performed a radical cholecystectomy robotically. Because of his meticulous, almost detective-like approach to a 'routine' visit, we caught it at stage 1. I needed no further treatment. He doesn't just treat problems; he hunts for them before they become tragedies.

I arrived at the ER with what I thought was food poisoning. It was a perforated duodenal ulcer, a true surgical emergency. The team was preparing me for emergency surgery when Dr. Yol arrived. In the chaos, his presence commanded calm. He looked at my scans, spoke to me directly about the critical need for immediate intervention, and obtained my consent with urgent clarity, not panic. The surgery was complex, dealing with significant contamination in my abdomen. His post-op care was just as precise. He visited me twice daily, adjusting everything personally. His skill in that crisis is the reason I'm here to write this review.
