Patient Experience
Kaan, a 16-year-old competitive windsurfer, collapsed during a regatta with severe abdominal pain. Dr. Cici diagnosed mesenteric artery syndrome exacerbated by rapid growth and extreme leanness from training. He coordinated with sports medicine to develop a gradual refeeding plan and postural adjustments, allowing return to competition in six weeks with modified technique.
A 45-year-old nomadic beekeeper, Yılmaz, arrived by donkey cart with systemic envenomation after disturbing an Africanized hybrid hive. Dr. Cici managed anaphylaxis while consulting an entomologist via video link to identify the venom profile. Treatment involved a novel combination of antivenoms from the zoo's supply, with full recovery after 48 hours of monitoring.
A 28-year-old female marine archaeologist, working on a sunken Roman shipwreck excavation, presented with recurrent episodes of dizziness and tinnitus after deep dives. Dr. Eren discovered she had developed a rare form of dysbaric osteonecrosis affecting her inner ear structures, unrelated to classic decompression sickness. Treatment involved hyperbaric oxygen therapy coordinated with a naval medicine specialist and a strict dive protocol modification, allowing her to continue her archaeological work with monitoring.
A 72-year-old retired olive grove owner from a remote mountain village presented with progressive weakness and a peculiar bronze skin pigmentation. He had been self-treating chronic joint pain with a traditional poultice made from local herbs and copper salts. Dr. Eren diagnosed him with acquired Wilson's disease-like copper toxicity from decades of transdermal absorption. Chelation therapy was initiated, and community health workers were educated about the risks of the traditional remedy.
A 19-year-old university exchange student from Norway, in Bodrum for a sailing semester, developed acute abdominal pain and confusion. He had no significant history. Dr. Eren identified a severe thiamine deficiency (Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome) precipitated by excessive consumption of a local distilled spirit on an empty stomach, combined with seasickness-induced vomiting. Aggressive IV thiamine reversed the neurological symptoms, and nutritional counseling was provided.
A 41-year-old female hotelier and single mother of three presented with debilitating fatigue and hair loss. Routine tests were normal. Dr. Eren, noting her high-stress role managing a seasonal business, investigated further and diagnosed her with a severe magnesium deficiency and adrenal dysfunction, linked to chronic stress and excessive Turkish coffee consumption. A holistic plan involving dietary changes, stress management, and micronutrient supplementation led to a full recovery.

As a 72-year-old retired ship captain, I'd navigated storms but never faced one like the tremor in my hands. Dr. Boyacı diagnosed a rare spinal compression affecting my nerves. His planned microdiscectomy felt like he was repairing the finest ship's clockwork. I regained steady hands and can now tie fishing knots for my grandchildren.
My 8-year-old daughter, Elif, developed sudden severe headaches during our family vacation in Bodrum. At 3 AM, Dr. Boyacı met us at the hospital, diagnosed a colloid cyst blocking spinal fluid. His emergency endoscopic removal through a tiny incision was miraculous. She was building sandcastles again in five days.
I'm a 45-year-old professional freediver. After a shallow water blackout, scans revealed an undetected congenital Arnold-Chiari malformation. Dr. Boyacı performed a posterior fossa decompression, tailoring it to preserve my neck mobility for diving. Nine months later, I set a new personal depth record.
Our 19-year-old son, a promising volleyball player, suffered a complex cervical spine fracture during a match. Dr. Boyacı orchestrated an overnight multidisciplinary surgery involving spinal fusion with innovative minimal hardware. His focus wasn't just on healing but on preserving rotational range for serving. Our son returned to competitive play in a year.
As a 42-year-old archaeologist working on a dig in Milas, I developed severe pelvic pain that local clinics misdiagnosed. Dr. Tahir Ateş discovered a rare benign ovarian tumor twisted around my fallopian tube during an emergency procedure. His precision surgery preserved my fertility completely, and I returned to fieldwork within three weeks, now pain-free and grateful for his expertise in complex gynecological cases.
My 17-year-old daughter, a national sailing athlete, experienced sudden menstrual irregularities during training camp. Dr. Ateş diagnosed exercise-induced hypothalamic amenorrhea without invasive testing. His conservative approach involving nutritional counseling and modified training allowed her to regain normal cycles naturally. She qualified for the European championships, and we credit Dr. Ateş for understanding athletic physiology in adolescent gynecology.
After five miscarriages across three countries, we came to Bodrum as a last resort. Dr. Tahir Ateş identified a previously undetected uterine septum and thin endometrial lining. His innovative two-stage procedure combined hysteroscopic resection with platelet-rich plasma therapy. I'm now holding my healthy twin daughters, born at 38 weeks through his coordinated care with maternal-fetal medicine specialists.
During our 25th anniversary cruise, my 68-year-old wife developed sudden postmenopausal bleeding. Dr. Ateş arranged emergency care at Bodrum Hospital, discovering early endometrial cancer. His robotic-assisted hysterectomy with sentinel lymph node mapping was performed within 48 hours of symptoms. The cancer was completely contained, and she recovered watching sunset views from her hospital room.
