Dr. Ahmet Temizyürek Reviews

My 82-year-old father was admitted to the ICU with severe pneumonia and sepsis. Dr. Ahmet Temizyürek didn't just treat the infection; he treated my father. He noticed subtle neurological changes others missed, ordered specific tests that revealed a small stroke complicating recovery, and adjusted the entire treatment protocol. What struck me was how he'd sit at the bedside, explaining the physiology of weaning from the ventilator in simple terms to my dad, giving him a sense of control. His team's coordination with cardiology and neurology was seamless. He saved a life, but more importantly, he preserved a person.

Our 7-year-old son, Ali, was airlifted to Bodrum Hospital after a near-drowning at the beach. The chaos was overwhelming. Dr. Temizyürek met us in the resuscitation bay, his calmness an anchor. He explained the concept of 'secondary drowning' and pulmonary edema in a way we could grasp amidst our panic. He managed Ali's critical fluid balance and oxygenation with what seemed like sixth sense, using a specialized pediatric ventilator protocol. He didn't leave the unit for 28 hours. When Ali woke up, disoriented, Dr. Ahmet was there with a small toy from the staff room to distract him. This wasn't just critical care; it was profound, compassionate guardianship during our worst nightmare.

I'm a 45-year-old diver who presented with what I thought was a bad sinus squeeze. Dr. Temizyürek, during a routine post-dive checkup I'd scheduled, asked one more question about my timing. His suspicion led to an urgent CT, revealing a small, asymptomatic arterial gas embolism—a ticking time bomb. He didn't alarm me; he calmly orchestrated an immediate transfer to a hyperbaric chamber, coordinating with a facility in another city while stabilizing me. His expertise in dive medicine within critical care is exceptional. He turned a routine visit into a life-saving intervention with zero drama. I owe him not just my health, but my continued passion for the sea.

Following complex abdominal surgery for a traumatic injury, I developed overwhelming sepsis. My body was failing; systems were shutting down. Dr. Temizyürek employed a strategy I'd never heard of: he called it 'controlled resuscitation,' avoiding the flood of fluids that can worsen swelling, instead using precise vasopressors and metabolic support. He personally reviewed every lab result, every waveform on the monitor. One night, he changed the antibiotic based on a culture result that had just come in at 3 AM—he was still there. His approach was intellectually fierce and meticulously personalized. He fought for every millimeter of progress. I am here, walking, because his critical care was both a science and an art form.
