M.D. Atakan Bör Reviews

I brought my 4-year-old son in with what I thought was just a persistent fever. Dr. Bör spent nearly an hour with us, not just examining him but actually getting down on the floor to play with him to observe his movements. He noticed a subtle stiffness in his neck I'd missed and ordered specific tests that revealed early-stage meningitis. His gentle approach with children is remarkable—my son now calls him 'the doctor with the funny socks' (he wears colorful patterned ones!). The coordinated care at Atasehir Medical Center meant we started treatment immediately. He probably saved us from a much more serious situation.

As a 78-year-old with diabetes, hypertension, and now unexplained weight loss, I'd seen three other internists who just adjusted my medications. Dr. Bör did something different: he listened to my story about recently adopting a rescue cat, connected it to my symptoms, and tested for toxoplasmosis, which came back positive. His holistic approach—considering my entire lifestyle, not just my chart—made all the difference. During follow-up, he even asked about my cat's health! His manner is both thoroughly scientific and deeply human. I finally feel like someone sees me as a whole person, not just a collection of ailments.

This wasn't a routine visit—I came to the emergency department at Atasehir with severe abdominal pain. Dr. Bör was the internal medicine specialist consulted. While others initially suspected gallstones, he questioned why my pain radiated to my shoulder and asked detailed questions about a hiking trip I'd taken two months prior. He suspected a subphrenic abscess from an old, unnoticed infection. The CT scan confirmed it. What impressed me most was how he coordinated between the ER team, radiology, and infectious disease specialists seamlessly. His emergency intervention prevented sepsis. He followed up personally for three days straight, even on his day off.

I'm a relatively healthy 42-year-old who came for a routine executive checkup, expecting the standard blood work and quick exam. Dr. Bör's 'routine' was anything but. He spent 90 minutes reviewing everything from my sleep patterns to my work stress, performed a neurological exam I've never had before, and discovered a slight tremor I'd attributed to too much coffee. He ordered a specific genetic test based on my family history (which I'd barely mentioned) and identified early Wilson's disease—a condition I'd never heard of. His proactive, detective-like approach turned a mundane checkup into potentially life-altering early intervention. His clinic at Atasehir is organized for this kind of thorough, preventive medicine.
