Medical Park Bahcelievler Reviews

An 8-year-old child with cerebral palsy and feeding intolerance was referred by pediatric neurology. Dr. Aydın diagnosed severe gastroesophageal reflux with aspiration risk. He performed a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with fundoplication and trained both parents and school staff on specialized feeding protocols, significantly improving nutritional status and reducing pneumonia episodes.

A 49-year-long-distance truck driver presented with episodic abdominal pain. Dr. Aydın diagnosed abdominal migraine, a rare gastrointestinal manifestation. He prescribed preventive medication with a flexible dosing schedule adaptable to irregular driving hours and implemented a telemedicine follow-up system accessible during the patient's cross-country routes.

A 67-year-old retired chemistry teacher with a complex history of multiple abdominal surgeries presented with recurrent small bowel obstructions. Dr. Aydın utilized enterography to identify adhesive bands and recommended a trial of hyaluronidase-based anti-adhesion gel during a laparoscopic adhesiolysis, which the surgical team implemented successfully with no recurrence at one-year follow-up.

A 31-year-old professional musician with irritable bowel syndrome found symptoms worsened before performances. Dr. Aydın identified performance anxiety as a major trigger and collaborated with a music therapist to develop pre-performance routines incorporating diaphragmatic breathing and gut-directed hypnotherapy techniques, significantly reducing symptom frequency during tours.

A 74-year-old grandmother caring for three orphaned grandchildren presented with iron-deficiency anemia. Colonoscopy revealed right-sided colon cancer. Dr. Aydın coordinated a multidisciplinary approach including oncology, social services for childcare support during treatment, and genetic testing for the grandchildren, with the patient achieving remission after hemicolectomy and adjuvant therapy.

As an 82-year-old with a lifelong fear of dentists, I was terrified when my bridge collapsed. Dr. Olcay was a revelation. He didn't just see a broken tooth; he saw my anxiety. He explained every step in his calm, professor's voice, even paused the procedure twice when I got overwhelmed. The surgery was for a new implant-supported prosthesis, which he called 'a foundation for your golden years.' His assistant held my hand. At follow-up, he remembered my granddaughter's name. This wasn't dental work; it was restorative care for my dignity.

Our 7-year-old son, Leo, fell off his scooter and completely avulsed his front tooth. We rushed in a panic to Medical Park. Dr. Olcay met us with a startling calmness that immediately grounded us. 'We have a protocol for this, and time is critical,' he said, taking the tooth. What followed was a masterclass in pediatric emergency care. He spoke directly to Leo about 'tooth astronauts' and 'replant missions,' turning trauma into a game. The reimplantation was successful. At our checkup, Leo proudly showed Dr. Olcay his 'adventure tooth.' The doctor's blend of surgical precision and child psychology saved more than just a tooth, it saved our son's smile and confidence.

I'm a professional wind musician, and a persistent pain in my upper jaw was threatening my career. Multiple dentists gave vague diagnoses. Dr. Olcay, however, approached it like a diagnostic puzzle. He ordered a specific CBCT scan others hadn't, revealing a complex, previously missed vertical root fracture and a subtle sinus complication. His surgical plan was meticulous; he explained how the anatomy of my palate related to my embouchure. The apicoectomy and bone graft were performed with a focus on preserving the structural integrity I need to play. The follow-up care included advice on warm-up exercises. He treated me not as a set of teeth, but as a musician who uses them.

What I thought was a routine wisdom tooth extraction turned into a complex surgical case when Dr. Olcay discovered a rare, intimate relationship between the tooth root and my inferior alveolar nerve. He stopped the planned procedure immediately, showed me the 3D imaging, and laid out a new, staged strategy to avoid permanent numbness. His transparency was shocking, he detailed the risks, the alternative of no treatment, and his modified surgical technique. The two-stage surgery, weeks apart, was nerve-wracking for me, but his confident, academic demeanor was reassuring. He called me the evening after each stage. The result? All four impacted teeth removed with zero nerve damage. This was next-level, academic dentistry applied with profound ethical care.

I'm a 72-year-old retired engineer with a complex abdominal aortic aneurysm that three other surgeons deemed too risky for traditional surgery due to my age and heart condition. Dr. Bekar didn't see an elderly patient, he saw a solvable engineering problem. He spent 45 minutes with my family explaining the robotic approach, drawing diagrams on his tablet to show how the da Vinci system would allow millimeter precision. The surgery itself felt like science fiction, tiny incisions, minimal blood loss. I was walking the next day. At my 3-month follow-up, my CT scan showed perfect graft placement. He combines the mind of an aerospace engineer with the hands of a master watchmaker.

Our 8-year-old daughter needed a complicated pyeloplasty for a UPJ obstruction that was causing recurrent kidney infections. We were terrified about surgery on a child. Dr. Bekar met her first, not us. He got down on one knee, showed her pictures of the robot he called 'Mr. Robo-Arms,' and let her control a simulation on his phone. The surgery was textbook; her incisions are so small they're barely visible. What amazed us most was his post-op care: he personally called us at 9 PM the night after discharge to check on her pain levels. At her follow-up, her renal function is now normal. He treated our child like she was his only patient.

I came to Dr. Bekar as an emergency transfer at 2 AM with a perforated diverticulitis that had become septic. I was in the ICU when he arrived, still in his street clothes, having come directly from home. Within 30 minutes he had me in the OR for robotic lavage and repair instead of the open colostomy I was told was inevitable. His decision-making under pressure was breathtaking. The robotic system allowed him to clean areas I was told would be inaccessible. I left the hospital in 5 days with no ostomy bag. At my 6-week follow-up, he remembered specific details about my case without looking at notes. This wasn't just surgery; it was emergency artistry.

As a 45-year-old competitive cyclist, I needed a routine inguinal hernia repair but was terrified it would end my racing career. Dr. Bekar proposed something I'd never heard of: a robotic TAPP repair with athletic biomechanics in mind. He studied my pedal stroke motion pre-op and adjusted his mesh placement and fixation to avoid nerve areas crucial for cycling. The surgery was outpatient, I was home by noon. His follow-up protocol was equally impressive: he created a personalized return-to-sport schedule and even reviewed my cycling posture at the 1-month visit. I was back on the bike (gently) in 10 days and racing in 8 weeks. He doesn't just fix problems; he engineers solutions for how you live.

Our 8-month-old daughter, Elif, was failing to thrive and had severe, chronic diarrhea that no local doctor could diagnose. We were terrified. Dr. Melek Erdem didn't just run tests; she spent an hour with us, mapping out Elif's entire feeding and symptom history on a whiteboard. She suspected a rare congenital sugar transporter defect. Her calm, methodical approach was a lifeline. After a targeted biopsy confirmed SGLT1 deficiency, she created a custom dietary plan. Elif is now a chubby-cheeked 2-year-old hitting all her milestones. Dr. Erdem didn't just treat a patient; she gave our family a future.

As a 68-year-old with autoimmune hepatitis and cirrhosis, transferred to Dr. Erdem's care after my pediatric hepatologist retired, I was skeptical. A pediatric specialist for an elderly man? But her expertise transcends age. She reviewed my decades of records with a forensic eye, spotted a pattern in my enzyme fluctuations tied to a specific OTC medication none of my 'adult' doctors had questioned. She coordinated with my cardiologist to adjust my treatment holistically. My LFTs are the most stable they've been in 10 years. Her clinic at Medical Park Bahçelievler is a haven of profound, detail-oriented medicine.

It was 3 AM when our 4-year-old son, Kaan, was rushed to the emergency department with sudden, projectile bilious vomiting and a distended abdomen. The on-call surgeon suspected volvulus. Dr. Erdem, who was not on duty, was called due to her hepatology expertise regarding his pre-existing biliary condition. She arrived within 20 minutes, her presence instantly calming the chaotic ER. She performed a critical ultrasound herself, ruling out volvulus but identifying a severe intussusception complicated by his unique anatomy. She guided the radiologist through a modified, successful air reduction, avoiding emergency surgery. Her swift, decisive action in that crisis saved his bowel and spared him major surgery.

We brought our 15-year-old daughter, Zeynep, for what we thought was a routine follow-up for her managed celiac disease. She was 'fine' on paper. Dr. Erdem, however, focused not just on the bloodwork but on Zeynep herself, her posture, a slight hesitation in her voice. With gentle, persistent questioning away from us parents, she uncovered that Zeynep was secretly purging due to anxiety about 'contaminated' food at school events, fearing a relapse. Dr. Erdem pivoted the entire visit, bringing in a nutritionist and psychologist for a same-day, collaborative intervention. This wasn't a checkup; it was an act of deep, perceptive care that addressed the illness behind the disease.

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.
