Patient Experience
I'd been feeling off for months, tired and achy, and my local doctor just kept saying it was stress. Dr. Tekkeli was different. She actually listened to everything, asked questions I hadn't even thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on standard panels. She explained it all clearly, without rushing. I finally feel like I'm getting back to normal.
Had to get a mole checked at Anadolu Medical Center. Honestly, I was nervous at first, anything medical makes me anxious. But the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Tekkeli was quick and gentle, said it looked fine but removed it just to be safe. The procedure took maybe ten minutes. I was in and out, and the results came back clear a week later. It was a huge relief.
The clinic itself is really calm, which helped a lot. I had to wait a bit past my appointment time, but the front desk staff were apologetic and kept me updated. The nurse who took my vitals was lovely, really put me at ease with some friendly chat. It's the little things that make a difference when you're not feeling great.
What I remember most is how Dr. Tekkeli talked to my elderly mother. She has trouble hearing and gets confused. The doctor didn't just talk to me; she sat down, made direct eye contact with my mom, spoke slowly and kindly, and repeated things without any hint of annoyance. My mom left feeling respected, not just treated. That meant the world to us.
