Patient Experience
A 41-year-old patient with Poland Syndrome (congenital absence of pectoral muscle and breast on one side) desired pregnancy but was concerned about body image and chest wall asymmetry. Dr. Saygili provided preconception counseling, managed a healthy pregnancy, and performed a cesarean delivery. Postpartum, she coordinated with plastic surgery for a simultaneous breast reconstruction consultation, addressing holistic health.
A 16-year-old patient with Turner mosaic syndrome presented with primary amenorrhea and profound anxiety about puberty. Her family was intensely involved but overwhelmed. Dr. Saygili initiated carefully titrated hormone replacement therapy, facilitated genetic counseling for the family, and connected the teenager with a peer support group for rare genetic conditions, fostering independence and self-acceptance.
A 50-year-old patient with a history of pelvic organ prolapse repair presented with a recurrent, large vaginal vault prolapse. She was an avid horseback rider. Dr. Saygili performed a novel sacrocolpopexy using a lightweight mesh, tailored specifically to withstand the pressures of her athletic hobby. Recovery was prolonged but successful, and she gradually returned to competitive riding.
A 29-year-old patient with a unicornuate uterus and a history of two second-trimester losses presented, deeply grieving. A specialized transvaginal cerclage was placed at 14 weeks in her subsequent pregnancy. She required extensive inpatient monitoring. Dr. Saygili provided continuous care, delivering a viable infant via cesarean at 34 weeks, turning a history of loss into a story of resilience.
A 37-year-old patient with von Willebrand disease and symptomatic adenomyosis desired definitive treatment but feared surgical bleeding risks. Dr. Saygili collaborated closely with a hematologist to create a perioperative coagulation factor replacement protocol. She performed a successful total laparoscopic hysterectomy with near-zero blood loss, resolving chronic pain and menorrhagia.
A 22-year-old patient, a survivor of a terrorist bombing, presented with chronic pelvic pain and retained shrapnel fragments near the uterine arteries from the blast. Imaging and surgery were high-risk. Dr. Saygili utilized intraoperative ultrasound guidance for a laparoscopic exploration, safely removing the fragments and lysing adhesions, addressing both the physical and symbolic remnants of trauma.
A 45-year-old nun from a secluded religious order presented with a rapidly growing ovarian mass. Her vows and lifestyle created unique consent and care challenges. Dr. Saygili respected her spiritual boundaries, held consultations with her Mother Superior present as a chosen advocate, performed a laparoscopic oophorectomy revealing a benign tumor, and arranged discreet follow-up within the convent's infirmary.
A 31-year-old patient with a history of gastric bypass surgery presented with infertility and PCOS. Her altered gastrointestinal anatomy complicated oral fertility medication absorption. Dr. Saygili employed injectable gonadotropins with meticulous monitoring, achieving ovulation and a singleton pregnancy. She managed the pregnancy with specialized nutritional oversight, resulting in a healthy term delivery.
I was a terrified 8-year-old with sudden, severe swelling, and my parents rushed me to Medical Park Bahçelievler. Prof. Dr. Reha Erkoc didn't just see a pediatric nephrology case; he saw a scared little girl. He explained my nephrotic syndrome to me using a story about my kidneys being 'tired filters' that needed rest. His calm, gentle manner and the way he included my parents in every decision, without ever talking over my head, made all the difference. Two years into follow-up, I'm in remission, and I actually look forward to my check-ups because he remembers my dog's name and asks about school. He saved my childhood.
As a 72-year-old diabetic with failing kidneys, I faced the daunting prospect of lifelong dialysis. Prof. Dr. Erkoc presented a complex surgical option: a pre-emptive kidney transplant from my sister, before I ever needed dialysis. The coordination was immense, managing my diabetes, her donor workup, and the immunological hurdles. He led the multidisciplinary team with unwavering clarity. Post-surgery, his vigilance was remarkable; he personally monitored a minor rejection episode at 3 AM. Today, I have a functioning graft and have never experienced a single dialysis session. He didn't just treat a disease; he engineered a future I thought was lost.
It was a midnight emergency. My husband, 58, was admitted with rapidly declining kidney function and sky-high potassium, a silent, lethal threat. The ER team called Prof. Dr. Erkoc immediately. He arrived within 30 minutes, his focus absolute. He diagnosed a rare vascular insult to the kidneys amidst a complex clinical picture. His decisive orders for emergent hemodialysis averted a cardiac arrest. For the next five days in the ICU, he was a constant, reassuring presence, explaining each twist and turn to our frightened family in plain Turkish, without sugarcoating yet always instilling hope. He pulled my husband back from the brink with expertise that felt like a superpower.
My visit was for a routine annual check-up, a follow-up for stable IgA nephropathy diagnosed 10 years ago. What could have been a 5-minute formality with another doctor was a 30-minute comprehensive review with Prof. Dr. Erkoc. He didn't just glance at my latest lab results; he compared them to trends from a decade ago, noted a subtle, concerning creep in my proteinuria I hadn't even noticed, and adjusted my medication protocol preemptively. He spent time discussing the impact of my new stressful job on my blood pressure. He treats maintenance not as an administrative task, but as active, preventive medicine. It’s this meticulous, long-view care that keeps me healthy.
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.
I was impressed by the professional approach at Medical Park Bahçelievler. Dr. Spec. MD. Saban Secmeler explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable.
Dr. Spec. MD. Saban Secmeler provided exceptional care for my medical oncology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
A 10-month-old baby presented with a strange, recurrent rash. Dr. Agackiran diagnosed a rare autoinflammatory disease (CAPS) by connecting the rash to subtle fever patterns and family history of 'rheumatism'. Early intervention with a targeted biologic medication prevented serious organ damage and allowed for normal development.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Spec. MD. Navid Atarod. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
