Dr. Derya Uyan

After years of unexplained pelvic pain dismissed by other doctors, Dr. Derya was the first to truly listen. She didn't just glance at my file; she sat with me for forty minutes, drawing diagrams on her notepad to explain how adenomyosis might be affecting me. Her approach at Bodrum Hospital Acibadem was methodical yet gentle. We tried conservative treatment first, but when surgery became necessary, she performed a laparoscopic hysterectomy with such precision that my recovery was faster than I ever imagined. At 52, I finally have my life back. She doesn't just treat the condition; she treats the person living with it.

Our 14-year-old daughter's first period was a nightmare—severe pain, excessive bleeding, and sheer panic. We were terrified. Dr. Derya handled the situation with incredible sensitivity, speaking directly to our daughter in a calm, reassuring tone, explaining everything in terms a teenager could understand. She ruled out serious concerns with a thoughtful, minimally invasive approach and created a management plan that empowered our daughter instead of frightening her. She treated her not as a child, but as a young woman taking charge of her health. The relief in our daughter's eyes was everything.

I arrived at Bodrum Hospital Acibadem from a smaller clinic via ambulance—a suspected ruptured ovarian cyst during my 22nd week of pregnancy. It was pure chaos and fear. Dr. Derya met me in the ER, her calm presence immediately cutting through the panic. She coordinated with the surgical and neonatal teams seamlessly. The emergency surgery was successful, and she managed to preserve the pregnancy. For the remaining months, she monitored me weekly, her vigilance never wavering. My son is now 6 months old, and every time I look at him, I remember her steady hands and quieter voice in that storm. She is a true crisis commander.

As a 68-year-old woman, I felt embarrassed discussing post-menopausal bleeding, almost resigning myself to it as 'just part of aging.' Dr. Derya would have none of that. 'Your age doesn't make your symptoms less important,' she said firmly. Her thorough investigation included a hysteroscopy that she performed with such expertise I felt minimal discomfort. She discovered and removed benign polyps, but it was her attitude that healed me most. She restored my sense of agency over my own body. My follow-up visits are conversations, not just checkups. She combats the invisible ailment of being made to feel irrelevant.
