Patient Experience
I brought my 4-year-old son in after he'd had a persistent fever and strange abdominal pain for three days. Dr. Umit was incredible, he didn't just talk to me, he got down on my son's level, showed him the stethoscope like it was a toy, and made him laugh. He diagnosed a tricky case of mesenteric adenitis that our regular pediatrician had missed. His explanation was so clear, using simple analogies about 'swollen lymph node guards.' We left with a precise treatment plan and, more importantly, a calm child. The clinic at Medical Park Gebze is spotless and efficient.
As a 78-year-old with diabetes, hypertension, and now unexplained weight loss, I felt like a collection of symptoms to other doctors. Dr. Yesilyurt was different. During my follow-up visit, he spent a full hour reviewing my new lab results. He connected dots no one else had, linking my fatigue to a subtle medication interaction and my weight loss to a previously overlooked thyroid reading. He adjusted three of my prescriptions with meticulous care, explaining each change like I was his colleague. He treats the whole system, not just the parts. This wasn't a routine checkup; it was a masterclass in internal medicine.
Midnight on a Tuesday, severe chest pain radiating to my jaw. The ER at Medical Park Gebze rushed me in. Dr. Umit Yesilyurt was the internal medicine specialist called for consultation. In that high-stakes emergency, his calm was palpable. He quickly ruled out a cardiac event (to my immense relief) but, crucially, didn't dismiss me. He suspected a esophageal spasm exacerbated by silent reflux. His decisive yet unhurried manner in the chaos of the ER was a lifeline. He followed up himself the next morning. He turned a terrifying emergency into a manageable diagnosis.
Post-complex abdominal surgery for adhesions, my recovery stalled with fever and confusion. My surgeon was concerned about infection. Dr. Yesilyurt, consulted for internal medicine management, approached it like a detective. He ordered a specific, non-routine scan looking for a cryptic abscess. He found it, a small, hidden collection causing systemic havoc. His intervention with targeted antibiotics and nutrition planning was precise. What stood out was his coordination; he spoke directly with my surgeon, my family, and the nursing staff, creating a seamless web of care. He navigated the complexity where others saw only complications.
