I brought my 4-year-old son in for what I thought was a routine hernia check. Dr. Arikan didn't just examine him; he got down on his knees to talk to him at eye level, showing him the ultrasound wand like it was a spaceship controller. My son was giggling instead of crying. The laparoscopic procedure was explained to me with drawings, and the scar is practically invisible. We received a follow-up call on a Sunday evening just to check in. This wasn't just surgery; it was compassionate pediatric care that treated my child as a person, not a case.
As a 78-year-old with multiple comorbidities, I was terrified of needing gallbladder surgery. Dr. Arikan spent 45 minutes in our initial consultation at Acibadem Kartal, not just with me, but with my daughter, mapping out a tailored plan that accounted for my heart condition. He pioneered a modified single-incision technique to minimize stress. Post-op, he visited me personally three times daily, even adjusting my pain management based on my feedback. His blend of surgical innovation and old-fashioned bedside manner turned a high-risk situation into a story of recovery I now share proudly.
This was no routine checkup. I came in for persistent abdominal pain, expecting a prescription. Dr. Arikan's demeanor changed during the physical exam—he noticed subtle signs I hadn't mentioned. He canceled his next appointment to personally escort me for an urgent CT scan, which revealed a rare, slow-growing gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). He held an impromptu family conference in his office, explaining the complex, organ-sparing resection with 3D imaging. His decisive action in that ordinary consultation turned a potential emergency into a meticulously planned success. He doesn't just treat diseases; he intercepts crises.
I'm a competitive athlete and needed an elective sports hernia repair. Most surgeons offered a standard protocol. Dr. Arikan requested videos of my training regimen, consulted with my physiotherapist, and designed a nerve-preserving surgical approach tailored to the rotational demands of my sport. The follow-up wasn't just 'wound looks good.' He analyzed my gradual return-to-sport metrics himself, adjusting timelines based on my body's feedback, not a textbook. He operated not just on a hernia, but on the future of my athletic career, blending surgical expertise with sports medicine in a way I've never experienced.
