Op. MD. Eyup Can Mazlum Reviews

I was in absolute agony after a bizarre gardening accident where I fell onto my own shears, resulting in a deep laceration and suspected tendon damage in my wrist. The emergency department at Medical Park Gebze directed me to Dr. Mazlum. What struck me first was his calm, almost methodical assessment amidst my panic. He didn't just look at the wound; he had me make specific, tiny finger movements while explaining which tendon each one controlled. His surgery was the next day. Now, six months post-op, I have nearly full function back and can play the mandolin again, which I never thought possible. His follow-up was meticulous, he even noticed a slight stiffness I'd learned to ignore and prescribed targeted physio. He treats the whole recovery, not just the incision.

Our 8-year-old son, Deniz, broke his forearm in two places after a tumble from his skateboard. We were terrified, especially about potential growth plate issues. Dr. Mazlum has a completely different demeanor with children, patient, gentle, and he uses simple analogies (he compared the bones to young tree branches that need careful straightening). He explained the options to us with transparent honesty, including the pros and cons of casting versus a minor procedure. He opted for a closed reduction with sedation, which he performed himself. The entire process at the hospital opposite Fatih State was seamless. Deniz's arm healed perfectly straight, and the doctor high-fived him at the final check-up. He turned a traumatic event into a story of resilience for our boy.

As a 72-year-old with advanced osteoarthritis in both knees, I had seen several orthopedists who simply pushed painkillers. Dr. Mazlum did something different: he spent the first consultation asking about my daily life, what I missed doing, my gardening, even how I navigated my apartment. He presented a staged plan, starting with targeted injections to buy time and intensive physio, framing a potential future knee replacement as the last step, not the first. He never rushed me. When we finally decided on the surgery for my right knee, his detailed pre-op preparation (including nutritional advice) made me feel like an active participant. The surgery at Medical Park Gebze was a success, but his post-op care was exceptional. He was stern about the exercises but encouraging with every degree of improvement. I'm now planning the left knee with confidence.

My case was a puzzling, chronic shoulder pain that multiple doctors had dismissed as 'bursitis' for over a year. I couldn't lift my arm to brush my hair. Dr. Mazlum ordered a specific, dynamic ultrasound that others hadn't, revealing a hidden partial tear in my supraspinatus tendon and a subtle instability. He explained the mechanics using a model skeleton, showing how the tear was causing a cascade of other issues. The arthroscopic surgery he performed was complex, he said, due to scar tissue buildup. The difference was night and day. For the first time, someone treated me not as a complaining patient, but as a puzzle to be solved. His clinic, right opposite the state hospital, feels like a center for solutions, not just quick fixes. My follow-up visits are progress checkpoints, not formalities.
