Patient Experience
Our 16-year-old daughter had crippling pelvic pain that kept her out of school. Pediatricians were hesitant, and we felt stuck. Dr. Gokce specialized her entire consultation for an adolescent. He spoke directly to her first, asking about her soccer games and exams, building trust. He diagnosed endometriosis and proposed a conservative, laparoscopic approach. He spent equal time explaining to us, the parents, and to her, ensuring she felt in control. His surgery was minimally invasive; she was back to training in weeks. He navigated the delicate space between teen privacy and parental concern perfectly. He gave our daughter her life back.
I was admitted through the ER at 2 AM with severe ectopic pregnancy symptoms. Dr. Gokce was there within 20 minutes, calm and decisive amidst my panic. He didn't just see a surgical case; he saw my raw fear of losing fertility. He explained the urgent salpingectomy with stark clarity but followed with, 'Your other tube is healthy, and we have many paths forward.' The surgery was successful. In the weeks that followed, he managed my physical recovery and my grief, discussing future options when I was ready. He turned a traumatic emergency into a managed, compassionate crisis. This is what a true physician-leader does.
I'm a 78-year-old retired teacher with a complex cardiac history, including a previous bypass 15 years ago. When my aortic valve began failing severely, three other surgeons told me I was too high-risk due to my age and calcified arteries. Professor Cinar saw me not as a statistic, but as a person. He pioneered a hybrid TAVI procedure combined with a minimally invasive coronary revascularization he tailored specifically for my anatomy. His team at Medical Park Bahçelievler coordinated everything flawlessly. I was walking the next day. Six months later, I'm tending my rose garden. He doesn't just operate on hearts; he restores lives with breathtaking technical artistry and profound humanity.
Our 8-year-old daughter, Elif, was born with a rare congenital heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. After a palliative shunt in infancy, she needed a full corrective surgery. The anxiety was paralyzing. Professor Cinar spent over an hour with us, drawing diagrams on a whiteboard, explaining the repair in terms we could understand, and answering every frantic question with infinite patience. The surgery lasted 7 hours. He came out personally, not a nurse, to tell us every detail went perfectly. His follow-up has been meticulous, even calling us on a Sunday evening to check on her recovery. He treated our child like she was his only patient. We call him our miracle worker.
I'm a 45-year-old long-distance runner. During a routine checkup for a marathon, a stress echo revealed a silent but critical blockage in my left main coronary artery, the 'widow-maker.' It was a total shock. Professor Cinar's approach was calm, decisive, and devoid of panic. He explained the urgent need for surgery but presented options: a traditional sternotomy or a less invasive multi-vessel MIDCAB. He recommended the latter for my active lifestyle. The surgery at Medical Park was like precision engineering. The incision is tiny. Three months post-op, I'm back to running, forever grateful for his expert eye during a 'routine' visit that turned out to be life-saving.
My husband suffered a catastrophic type A aortic dissection at home. It was a midnight emergency. The ER team stabilized him and called Professor Cinar, who came to the hospital immediately despite the hour. He explained the gravity of the situation with stark honesty but also with a determined reassurance that they would fight. The surgery was a 12-hour marathon to replace his aortic arch and valve. Professor Cinar updated me personally every few hours. He saved my husband's life against tremendous odds. His post-op care in the ICU was just as intense; he noticed the smallest details. We are indebted to his superhero-like skill and his team's incredible coordination during our darkest night.

A 42-year-old nomadic Yörük woman, who had spent her life in rural Anatolia with no prior gynecological care, presented with a massive, symptomatic uterine fibroid. Her complex medical history included severe anemia from chronic malnutrition. Dr. Saygili coordinated a multidisciplinary team involving hematology and nutrition, performed a successful open myomectomy preserving fertility, and arranged for temporary housing in Istanbul for her extended recovery, integrating traditional herbal remedies with postoperative care.
A 19-year-old internationally ranked e-sports athlete presented with debilitating dysmenorrhea that threatened her competition schedule. Diagnosed with severe endometriosis, she required a treatment plan that allowed for minimal downtime. Dr. Saygili performed a meticulous laparoscopic excision surgery during a scheduled off-season break and implemented a tailored hormonal suppression strategy synchronized with her tournament calendar, enabling her to return to win a major championship.
A 34-year-old deaf-mute patient, accompanied only by a community support worker, presented with signs of early ovarian torsion. Communication was a significant barrier. Dr. Saygili, utilizing written notes and basic sign language learned for the consultation, expedited diagnostic imaging, performed emergency laparoscopic detorsion, and established a unique pictorial follow-up plan for postoperative care, ensuring complete understanding.
A 58-year-old retired ballet mistress presented with postmenopausal bleeding and a complex pelvic mass. Imaging revealed a rare borderline ovarian tumor. Deeply fearful of surgery due to a career-long focus on bodily integrity, Dr. Saygili offered robotic-assisted surgery. The precise, minimally invasive procedure resulted in optimal staging and excision with minimal scarring, and the patient recovered to teach movement therapy classes.
A couple, both successful marine biologists, sought care for unexplained secondary infertility after years of fieldwork in remote locations. Investigations revealed mild male factor and subtle tubal factors. Dr. Saygili devised a 'land-based' treatment window, combining minimally invasive tubal cannulation for the wife and coordinated treatment for the husband, resulting in a natural conception before their next research expedition.
