MD. Surgeon Ahmet Hamdi Onay Reviews

Had my gallbladder out with Dr. Önay. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a clear plan for the pain that actually worked. He checked on me himself every morning and adjusted things based on how I was feeling. It wasn't fun, but I felt listened to the whole time, which made a big difference.

Our 8-year-old needed an emergency appendectomy and we were terrified. Dr. Önay sat with us in the waiting area at Anadolu, drew a simple picture of what was happening, and explained everything in a calm voice. He talked directly to our son, not just us, which helped him feel brave. The follow-up call to see how he was sleeping at home meant more than he probably knows.

Needed a hernia fixed. Dr. Önay did it. Quick consult, clear explanation, surgery went fine. Back to work in two weeks. No fuss.

I'd been putting off this surgery for years, just nervous about the whole thing. From the first meeting, Dr. Önay had a way of making complex stuff simple. He drew on the exam table paper! The day of, I was a wreck, but he cracked a small joke about the hospital coffee that broke the tension. Recovery had its ups and downs, some days I felt great, others I was sore and frustrated. He was honest about that timeline upfront, which helped me ride it out. I'm just glad it's over, and I felt like I was in good hands.
