Prof. M.D. Deniz Gökalp

I brought my 82-year-old mother, who has been struggling with unexplained weight loss and fatigue for months. Other doctors dismissed it as 'old age.' Dr. Gökalp was different. He spent nearly an hour just listening to her history, asking about her life in Eskisehir, her diet, even her sleep patterns. He ordered a very specific set of tests others had overlooked. It turned out to be a complex vitamin absorption issue linked to a mild, chronic condition. His treatment plan was gentle but effective. Within weeks, her energy returned. He doesn't just treat diseases; he treats the person living with them. We are profoundly grateful.

My 8-year-old son developed a high fever and a strange, persistent rash during our visit to Eskisehir. We were terrified and went to Acibadem's emergency department. Dr. Deniz Gökalp was the internal medicine specialist consulted. He had a magical way with my scared child—he explained everything using simple analogies about 'army cells' fighting 'germ invaders.' His diagnosis was swift: a rare but treatable pediatric-reactive condition. He coordinated seamlessly with a pediatrician. His calm, confident demeanor in that emergency room dissolved our panic. He followed up personally the next day. A doctor who excels in crisis and cares deeply.

As a relatively healthy 45-year-old, I went to Dr. Gökalp for what I thought would be a routine check-up and some fatigue advice. He conducted the most thorough examination I've ever had. He questioned me about work stress (I'm a teacher) and noticed subtle signs I'd ignored. He insisted on further cardiac screening despite my age, saying 'prevention is the core of internal medicine.' To my shock, tests revealed a previously undetected arrhythmia that required careful management. This wasn't a routine visit; it was a life-saving intervention. His proactive, detail-oriented approach is exceptional. He doesn't just listen to your heart; he listens to your life.

Following a complex abdominal surgery at another hospital, my recovery was plagued by persistent infections and metabolic confusion. My surgeon referred me to Dr. Gökalp for post-operative internal medicine management. The complexity was daunting. Dr. Gökalp approached it like a master puzzle-solver. He reviewed all my records, reconciled conflicting medications, and identified a drug interaction and a minor organ function imbalance that everyone else missed. His follow-up plan was meticulous, with clear instructions and direct access for concerns. Over three months, he systematically untangled the post-surgical complications. His expertise in navigating the aftermath of major surgery is as critical as the surgery itself. A true specialist's specialist.
