Bodrum Hospital Acibadem Reviews

A 55-year-old British yacht captain developed a mycotic aneurysm in his superior mesenteric artery after dental work abroad. Dr. Özgür performed emergency stent-graft placement during a midnight procedure, navigating unusual vessel tortuosity. The captain made full recovery and now includes Bodrum Hospital in his maritime emergency protocols.

A 17-year-old competitive freediver from a fishing family presented with exercise-induced hematuria. Dr. Özgür discovered a rare renal arteriovenous malformation likely exacerbated by extreme pressure changes. Using superselective embolization with microcoils, he preserved maximal renal parenchyma. The patient returned to diving after 8 weeks, with his family bringing fresh sea bream as thanks.

A 78-year-old retired olive grove owner with severe COPD and liver cirrhosis developed a massive hepatic hydrothorax. Too frail for surgery, Dr. Özgür performed an unconventional IR-guided pleurodesis with talc slurry via pigtail catheter, creating a controlled inflammatory response. The procedure stabilized her breathing, allowing her to attend her granddaughter's wedding 3 months later.

A 32-year-old Syrian refugee seamstress presented with a growing uterine fibroid causing debilitating pain. Lacking insurance, Dr. Özgür coordinated with hospital administration for pro bono uterine artery embolization using temporary embolic agents to preserve fertility. She experienced 90% symptom reduction and returned to work within 10 days, later sending handmade embroidery depicting the Bodrum coastline.

As a professional oud player, I was terrified when I began losing high-frequency hearing in my left ear. Dr. Porsuk didn't just see a medical case; he understood I was losing my musical identity. His innovative micro-surgery restored frequencies I thought were gone forever. At my first post-op rehearsal, when I could clearly hear the subtle harmonics of my instrument again, I wept with gratitude.

I'm a retired deep-sea diver who developed sudden unilateral hearing loss after a dive trip. Most ENTs dismissed it as age-related, but Dr. Porsuk recognized it as a delayed barotrauma complication. His treatment protocol, combining hyperbaric oxygen therapy with precise medication, restored 80% of my hearing. He even consulted with diving medicine specialists to tailor my recovery.

My 82-year-old mother, visiting from Germany, suddenly developed severe abdominal pain and confusion late one evening. We rushed her to Bodrum Hospital, terrified. Dr. Sedat Özkaya met us in the ER with a calm, commanding presence that immediately settled our panic. He didn't just see an elderly patient; he saw my mother. His rapid assessment, conducted with both urgency and profound gentleness, pinpointed a strangulated hernia—a true surgical emergency. He explained the situation to us in clear Turkish-German mix, never condescending, while simultaneously orchestrating the OR team. His post-op follow-up was just as attentive; he'd sit on the edge of her bed, holding her hand while explaining her progress. He saved her life with technical brilliance, but he saved our family's peace with his humanity.

Our 7-year-old son, Kerem, took a bad fall from his bicycle on a rocky path, resulting in a deep, jagged laceration on his forearm and a possible wrist fracture. The scene was chaotic—blood, tears, and a child's sheer terror. Dr. Özkaya transformed the trauma bay into a sanctuary. He didn't approach as just a doctor, but almost as a fellow adventurer, asking Kerem about his 'big jump.' While expertly assessing the injury, he narrated a story about a pirate getting a 'bravery tattoo,' seamlessly turning wound cleaning and suturing into part of the tale. His skill with pediatric sedation was so smooth Kerem felt no pain. He even drew a small bandage-shaped pirate ship on the cast. For a child's trauma, he treated the fear first, the injury second, and left us with a son who felt like a hero, not a victim.

Our 4-year-old daughter had chronic ear infections that resisted all treatments. Dr. Porsuk discovered a rare anatomical variation in her eustachian tubes during what was supposed to be a routine consultation. His gentle bedside manner with children is remarkable—he examined her using a puppet show technique. The minimally invasive procedure he designed specifically for her condition has given her a completely normal childhood.

I'm a commercial diver working on the Bodrum coast. During a routine underwater weld, a equipment malfunction caused a severe hydraulic injection injury to my palm—a tiny puncture with potentially catastrophic consequences, forcing tissue-deep contaminants. This is a rare, ticking-time-bomb injury many might miss. Dr. Özkaya, upon my rushed entry to the ER, recognized it instantly. His demeanor shifted to focused intensity. He explained with gritty clarity how the invisible oil under my skin could cause necrosis and loss of the hand if not aggressively treated NOW. He performed an extensive surgical decompression and debridement in the middle of the night, meticulously clearing every tract. His post-op protocol was brutally honest about the recovery pain and rigorous hand therapy needed, but his confidence was unwavering. He didn't just stitch me up; he salvaged my career and my livelihood.

What started as a follow-up visit for a minor ankle sprain I'd seen Dr. Özkaya for turned into something that likely saved me from a silent disaster. During the routine check, he noticed a subtle, persistent cough I'd dismissed as 'allergies.' His trauma-trained instinct for patterns kicked in outside the obvious injury. With gentle but firm questioning about my family history (which includes clotting disorders) and a keen observation of my slight shortness of breath when climbing onto the exam table, he suspected a pulmonary embolism. I thought he was overreacting. He insisted on immediate tests. The CT angiogram confirmed multiple small PEs. His ability to see the forest for the trees—to look beyond the healed ankle and listen to the body's quieter alarms—turned a routine follow-up into a life-saving intervention. His vigilance is a gift.

During a family vacation in Bodrum, my husband suffered a severe nasal fracture in a sailing accident. Dr. Porsuk performed emergency reconstructive surgery at 2 AM with such skill that there's no visible scarring. What impressed us most was his follow-up—he video-called us weekly after we returned to Germany until he was satisfied with the healing process.

My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Selin Alponat. The hospital staff was also very supportive.

I'm a 72-year-old fisherman who thought the persistent cramping in my legs was just part of getting old. Dr. Tansal didn't dismiss it. During my routine checkup, he found severely blocked arteries using a special ultrasound machine I'd never seen before. His explanation was so clear—he drew diagrams on the exam table paper! The minimally invasive angioplasty he performed felt like magic. No big incision, just a tiny puncture. Two days later, I was back on my boat. He saved my livelihood and my legs. His calm, grandfatherly manner made me trust him completely.

Our 8-year-old son developed a rare vascular malformation in his arm after a fall. We were terrified. Dr. Tansal met us in the emergency department at midnight. He knelt to our son's eye level, called him 'little captain,' and explained the 'mission' to fix the 'tiny confused rivers' in his arm. The complex embolization surgery was nerve-wracking, but Dr. Tansal gave us hourly updates himself. The follow-up visits are filled with sticker charts and high-fives. He treated our child like a person, not a condition. Our son now wants to be a 'vein doctor' just like him.

As a 45-year-old marathon runner, I noticed a strange, throbbing bulge in my abdomen. Dr. Tansal diagnosed an abdominal aortic aneurysm during what I thought was a sports injury consult. The way he handled it was masterful—no panic, just precise facts. The open surgery was major, but he used a novel suture technique he developed himself. My recovery at Bodrum Hospital felt personalized; he even adjusted my pain management based on my low medication tolerance. Six months later, I'm not just healed, I'm back to running. He turned a potential catastrophe into a comeback story.

I arrived at the emergency room with a sudden, excruciatingly cold and white foot—a acute limb ischemia. Within minutes, Dr. Tansal was in the room, orchestrating a team. He told me, 'We are in a race against the clock, and we will win.' The emergency thrombectomy was performed with incredible speed. What stays with me is his follow-up care. He personally called me for three nights after discharge to check on my foot's color and temperature. His blend of decisive action in crisis and meticulous aftercare is something I've never experienced. He didn't just save my foot; he gave me peace of mind.
