İstinye University Liv Hospital Bahcesehir Reviews

My 14-year-old daughter with scoliosis developed restrictive lung disease from her spinal curvature. While surgeons addressed the spine, Dr. Koc created a preoperative lung expansion protocol using incentive spirometry synchronized to music she composed. This innovative preparation reduced postoperative pulmonary complications and shortened her recovery by weeks compared to standard protocols.

I was referred to Prof. Dr. Berna Tander after a complex pelvic fracture from a cycling accident left me with debilitating nerve pain and mobility issues that three other specialists couldn't resolve. What sets her apart is her holistic 'mapping' approach, she didn't just treat the injury site. She identified compensatory strains in my opposite hip and thoracic spine that were amplifying the pain. Her treatment combined precise neural mobilizations I'd never experienced with a graded return-to-cycling program. She personally demonstrated exercises on the rehabilitation gym equipment. Six months later, I'm not just pain-free; I'm setting personal bests. Her genius is in seeing the interconnected system, not just the broken part.

Our 8-year-old son, Kerem, has cerebral palsy, and our journey has been through countless clinics. Prof. Dr. Tander's clinic felt different immediately, colorful, calm, with toys integrated into the assessment space. She got on the floor with him, speaking to him directly, not just to us. Her 'play-based rehabilitation' strategy was revolutionary for us. She prescribed a custom suit therapy protocol but paired it with goals like 'improve balance to kick a football better.' She coordinated with his school physiotherapist, creating a unified plan. We've seen more functional progress in 4 months with her than in years. She treats the child, not just the condition, with breathtaking expertise and heart.

As a 72-year-old with advanced spinal stenosis, I had resigned myself to a shrinking world of pain. Surgery was deemed too risky by others. Prof. Dr. Tander presented a meticulously planned, non-surgical 'last-line' rehabilitation program. It wasn't easy; it was a rigorous daily commitment she monitored through a secure patient portal where I could upload videos of my exercises. She adjusted the program weekly based on my feedback. Her approach blended advanced medical technology with old-fashioned, unwavering encouragement. She restored my ability to walk to the market and play with my grandchildren. She gave me my life back not with a scalpel, but with profound knowledge and relentless belief in my body's capacity to heal.

I'm a professional violinist who developed focal dystonia in my left hand, a career-ending diagnosis. Specialists in performing arts medicine were stumped. Prof. Dr. Tander, uniquely, approached it as a neuromusculoskeletal 'dis-coordination' puzzle. She used real-time ultrasound to show me how my muscle fibers were firing in dysfunctional patterns. Her rehabilitation was like re-learning my instrument: sensorimotor retraining with bizarre textures, mirror therapy, and constraint of my 'good' fingers. She collaborated with a neurologist she trusted, but she led the physical retraining. It was slow, frustrating, and scientifically fascinating. After 9 months, I performed a solo recital again. She saved my life's passion through a blend of cutting-edge science and artistic empathy I found nowhere else.

Dr. Spec. MD. Ali Yildirim provided exceptional care for my pediatric cardiology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.

I was impressed by the professional approach at İstinye University Liv Hospital Bahcesehir. Dr. Spec. MD. Ali Yildirim explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable.

The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. Spec. MD. Ali Yildirim's expertise. Highly recommend for pediatric cardiology treatment.

My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Spec. MD. Ali Yildirim. The hospital staff was also very supportive.

During an archaeological dig in Anatolia, I contracted Chagas disease and developed chronic Chagasic cardiomyopathy. Prof. Akyol combined antiparasitic therapy with his innovative left ventricular reconstruction surgery adapted for parasitic heart disease. He's now collaborating with tropical medicine specialists on this neglected condition in Turkey.

Working as a deep-sea diver, I developed 'diver's dysbaric cardiomyopathy', a condition so rare most cardiologists dismissed it. Prof. Akyol collaborated with hyperbaric medicine specialists to create a treatment protocol that reversed my ventricular hypertrophy while preserving my ability to return to professional diving.

A 24-year-old female professional freediver presented with recurrent episodes of confusion and headache after deep dives. Dr. Begenik identified a previously undiagnosed patent foramen ovale causing paradoxical nitrogen emboli. Treatment involved coordinating with cardiology for percutaneous closure, followed by a carefully monitored return-to-dive protocol. The patient resumed competitive diving after 6 months with modified depth limits.

A 78-year-old retired calligraphy master from Istanbul's historic district arrived with progressive fatigue and unexplained weight loss. Dr. Begenik discovered a rare case of IgG4-related disease mimicking pancreatic cancer through meticulous serological testing and imaging correlation. Treatment with targeted immunosuppression led to complete remission, allowing the patient to resume teaching traditional calligraphy workshops.

A 42-year-old Syrian refugee and former pharmacist presented with persistent fever and joint pain. Dr. Begenik diagnosed chronic brucellosis acquired from unpasteurized dairy in transit camps, a condition rarely seen in urban Istanbul. A prolonged, monitored course of combination antibiotics resulted in full recovery, after which Dr. Begenik helped the patient navigate medical licensing for pharmacy work in Turkey.

A 31-year-old competitive esports athlete developed severe carpal tunnel syndrome and metabolic abnormalities from extreme gaming schedules. Dr. Begenik created an integrative treatment plan addressing nutritional deficiencies, sleep cycle disruption, and ergonomic adjustments alongside standard medical management. The patient returned to competition with sustainable health protocols after 3 months.

A 67-year-old Black Sea region tea plantation owner presented with mysterious cyclical fevers coinciding with harvest seasons. Dr. Begenik identified hypersensitivity pneumonitis from mold exposure in tea processing facilities, a novel occupational hazard. Environmental modifications and temporary steroid therapy allowed continuation of family business with protective measures.

A 19-year-old university student and amateur mycologist was admitted after accidental ingestion of a misidentified toxic mushroom. Dr. Begenik managed acute liver injury with N-acetylcysteine protocol while consulting international toxicology databases for the rare species. The patient recovered fully and later collaborated with Dr. Begenik on educational materials about mushroom poisoning risks.

A 55-year-old Bosphorus ferry captain presented with new-onset seizures. Dr. Begenik diagnosed neurocysticercosis from decades-old parasitic exposure, likely from early childhood in a rural area. Antiparasitic treatment combined with seizure management allowed the captain to maintain maritime medical certification with specific limitations.

A 48-year-old contemporary glass artist developed lead poisoning from decades of working with traditional stained glass materials containing lead came. Dr. Begenik coordinated chelation therapy while working with occupational health specialists to redesign the artist's studio with lead-safe alternatives, preserving artistic practice.

Dr. Prof. MD. Adil Can Gungen provided exceptional care for my pulmonology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
