Prof. MD. Ayhan Karakose

As an 82-year-old with recurrent kidney stones, I had seen many urologists who just prescribed painkillers. Prof. Dr. Karakose was different. He spent an hour with me and my daughter, explaining in simple Turkish how my medications for heart disease were contributing to the stones. He created a personalized hydration and diet plan, coordinating with my cardiologist. His gentle manner during the cystoscopy made a frightening procedure tolerable. For the first time in years, I'm stone-free and feel heard, not just treated as an old man.

Our 7-year-old son had nocturnal enuresis that was affecting his confidence. We were hesitant about seeing a urologist, fearing invasive tests. Dr. Karakose's approach was magical, he first gained our son's trust by talking about football, then used animated diagrams to explain how the bladder works. He ruled out psychological causes with careful questions, ordered a non-invasive ultrasound, and prescribed a simple alarm therapy combined with bladder training exercises. He gave our son a 'Bladder Hero' chart to track dry nights. The problem resolved in three months. He treated our child with such respect and joy.

I arrived at Liv Hospital Bahçeşehir's ER at midnight with unbearable testicular torsion pain. Within minutes, Dr. Karakose was assessing me, his calm demeanor cutting through my panic. He explained the surgical urgency without sugarcoating but with immense reassurance. The emergency orchidopexy was performed successfully. What stunned me was his 6 AM post-op check, he was there, examining the site himself, not sending an assistant. His follow-up protocol was meticulous: three check-ups in six weeks, each with detailed ultrasound reviews. He saved my fertility and my peace of mind.

After a robotic prostatectomy for localized cancer, my follow-up care with Prof. Dr. Karakose has been a masterclass in holistic medicine. He doesn't just check my PSA levels; he actively manages the side effects. When I struggled with post-surgery incontinence, he didn't dismiss it as 'normal.' Instead, he designed a progressive pelvic floor rehab plan and introduced me to a specialist physiotherapist. During our last video consultation, he spent 40 minutes discussing my sexual health concerns, adjusting medications, and setting realistic recovery milestones. He treats the whole person, not just the organ. His expertise is matched only by his profound empathy.
