Patient Experience
My husband, 58, collapsed with chest pain at his workshop. The ambulance rushed him to Acibadem Bursa's ER where Dr. Değer was on call. What followed was a masterclass in emergency care. Dr. Değer diagnosed a massive anterior STEMI in under three minutes. While prepping for emergency angioplasty, he calmly explained the situation to me in the corridor, his voice steady but urgent. 'We are racing against heart muscle death,' he said. The procedure was successful, but post-surgery, my husband developed a rare complication: ventricular tachycardia. Dr. Değer stayed at his bedside for 14 hours straight, adjusting medications microgram by microgram. He saved his life twice in one day. His hands were as skilled as his mind was sharp.
I am a 45-year-old marathon runner who went to Dr. Değer for what I thought was a simple follow-up after experiencing unusual fatigue. I expected a quick 'all clear.' Instead, he conducted what he called a 'dynamic assessment.' He had me run on a treadmill while wearing a advanced Holter monitor, something no cardiologist had ever done with me. 'Your heart at rest tells one story,' he said, 'but your heart in motion tells the truth.' The test revealed exercise-induced arrhythmia that standard tests missed. His solution was unconventional: he collaborated with a sports physiologist to redesign my training zones and prescribed a specific electrolyte regimen. He didn't tell me to stop running; he taught my heart to run smarter. My performance has improved, and the fatigue is gone.

As a 72-year-old retired geologist with complex abdominal pain, other hospitals couldn't pinpoint the cause. Dr. Koska performed a specialized contrast-enhanced CT with such precision that she identified a rare mesenteric panniculitis that everyone else missed. Her detailed radiology report guided my treatment perfectly—I'm now pain-free and back to my mineral collection hobby.
My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, fell during practice with suspected wrist trauma. Dr. Koska used low-dose pediatric protocols and discovered not just a hairline fracture but early signs of a growth plate abnormality. Her gentle approach with children and collaboration with our orthopedist created a prevention plan that may save her gymnastics career.
During my 20-week anatomy scan as an expat living in Bursa, Dr. Koska detected subtle cardiac anomalies others dismissed as 'probably nothing.' Her persistence led to a fetal MRI that revealed a correctable ventricular septal defect. Thanks to her early diagnosis, our baby had life-saving surgery immediately after birth and is now thriving.
As a 45-year-old chef who suddenly lost my sense of smell, multiple ENT specialists found nothing. Dr. Koska's innovative paranasal sinus protocol with specific olfactory bulb imaging identified minute inflammation undetectable on standard scans. Her finding led to targeted treatment that restored my professional livelihood—I can taste and create again.

My 82-year-old father, Mehmet, fell in the garden and fractured his hip. The ambulance brought him to Acıbadem Bursa in immense pain. Dr. Süheyla Tak met us in the ER with a calm that immediately settled our panic. She didn't just see an 'elderly fall'—she saw my father, a retired history teacher who loves his rose bushes. Her assessment was lightning-fast yet thorough, coordinating with orthopedics while managing his pain and underlying hypertension. She explained the complex situation to us in plain Turkish, drawing diagrams on a tissue. Her hands were gentle when she examined him, and her decision to admit him directly to a monitored bed was crucial. She visited him twice before her shift ended. He's now in recovery, and we credit Dr. Tak's decisive, compassionate emergency care for preventing shock and complications. She is a true guardian in the chaos.
Our 5-year-old daughter, Elif, swallowed a small toy piece. We rushed to the ER in sheer terror, imagining the worst. Dr. Süheyla Tak had a completely different energy for a child—softer voice, a quick smile that made Elif stop crying. She didn't jump to invasive scans. Instead, she calmly asked Elif to point to where it hurt, listened to her belly with a 'special teddy bear stethoscope' (her words), and based on her symptoms and exam, confidently said it would likely pass safely. She gave us clear 'red flag' instructions instead of causing more trauma with unnecessary procedures. She called us 24 hours later on her day off to check in. Elif passed the piece without issue. Dr. Tak turned a potential trauma into a manageable event with incredible clinical judgment and pediatric sensitivity. We are forever grateful.
I'm a 38-year-old construction site manager. I came in after a high-pressure pipe burst at work, causing a deep laceration and a potential crush injury to my hand. This wasn't a routine cut; my livelihood was at stake. Dr. Tak's approach was like a tactical commander. She immediately controlled the bleeding, but her focus was on preserving function. She ordered specific imaging to assess tendon and nerve involvement right away, explaining that 'time is tissue.' Her suturing was meticulous, and she insisted on a hand surgery consult on the spot, which I later learned saved me from permanent stiffness. She spoke to me with direct respect about the risks and the long rehab road. No sugar-coating, just expert, decisive action. In the ER, she's not just a doctor; she's a strategist for your future health.
My wife, 34 weeks pregnant, developed sudden, severe abdominal pain and dizziness. The obstetric triage sent her to the main ER for assessment. Dr. Tak, upon seeing a pregnant patient, instantly shifted gears. Her urgency was palpable but controlled. She simultaneously managed two patients: my wife and the unseen baby. She coordinated an immediate OB/GYN and vascular surgery consult, suspecting a placental issue, while starting IVs and monitoring the fetal heart with a deftness that belied the ER chaos. She kept me informed at every step, using simple terms amidst the medical jargon flying around. It turned out to be a rare but serious complication. Dr. Tak's ability to think across specialties in those critical first minutes in the ER directly contributed to the successful emergency C-section that saved both my wife and our daughter. Her expertise is the bridge between disaster and hope.
As a 72-year-old with a lifetime of varicose veins dismissed as cosmetic, I arrived at Acibadem Bursa with leg ulcers that wouldn't heal. Dr. Tamer Turan didn't just see swollen veins; he mapped my entire circulatory system like a cartographer. His diagnosis was a revelation: 'Your superficial veins are stealing blood from your deep system.' The endovenous laser ablation he performed wasn't just a procedure—it was hydraulic engineering. Three months later, my ulcers are history, and I'm walking pain-free for the first time in a decade. He treats vessels like the vital highways they are.
Our 8-year-old son developed a pulsating lump on his neck after a playground fall. Pediatricians called it a hematoma, but it kept growing. Dr. Turan's approach was astonishing—he used a miniature ultrasound probe designed for infants and discovered a traumatic arteriovenous fistula. Instead of immediate surgery, he created a 'pressure therapy protocol' using custom bandages, monitoring it weekly with color Doppler. 'Children's vessels can often heal themselves with guidance,' he explained. After six weeks, the fistula closed completely. He turned what could have been an invasive childhood surgery into a lesson in bodily resilience.
I'm a 45-year-old marathon runner who failed a stress test due to unexplained calf pain. Cardiologists found nothing, but Dr. Turan identified popliteal artery entrapment—a rare condition where my leg muscle was strangling my artery with each stride. The surgical correction was precision itself; he released the constricting band while preserving every nerve fiber. What followed was unprecedented: a 'vascular rehabilitation' plan coordinating with sports medicine specialists. He didn't just fix a problem; he re-engineered my running biomechanics. Six months later, I set a personal best, my calves powered by properly routed bloodflow.
Routine checkup for my family's history of aneurysms turned urgent when Dr. Turan's ultrasound found a 5.8cm abdominal aortic aneurysm during what was supposed to be a baseline screening. His emergency protocol was seamless—within hours I was in hybrid operating room 3, receiving an endovascular repair through a puncture in my groin. But his innovation came afterward: he prescribed a 'pulsatility index' monitoring app that connects to my smartphone, allowing his team to track my aortic wall motion remotely. He transformed me from a passive patient into an active participant in my vessel surveillance, blending ancient surgical art with digital-age vigilance.
