Assoc. Prof. M.D. Bahadir Osman Bozkirli

I brought my 4-year-old son, Leo, to Dr. Bozkirli after he swallowed a small toy part. We were terrified. At Acibadem Maslak, Dr. Bozkirli was incredibly calm and explained everything to my son in a gentle, almost playful way that immediately put him at ease. He performed a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure to remove the object without any incisions. His ability to connect with a frightened child while maintaining absolute surgical precision was remarkable. Leo now calls him 'the toy doctor' and wasn't even scared to go back for the follow-up. A truly gifted surgeon with a heart for pediatric care.

As an 82-year-old with a complex incarcerated umbilical hernia and multiple comorbidities (COPD and mild renal impairment), I was turned away by two other surgeons who deemed the risk too high. Dr. Bahadir Osman Bozkirli reviewed my case meticulously. He didn't see just a risk; he saw a solution. He proposed a tailored open repair with a specialized mesh and coordinated closely with my pulmonologist and nephrologist. The surgery at Acibadem Maslak was a success. His post-operative care was exemplary—he visited me twice daily, even on weekends, to monitor my breathing and wound. He gave me my active life back. His confidence and comprehensive approach are unparalleled.

What started as mild abdominal discomfort during a business trip to Istanbul became a severe emergency. I was admitted to Acibadem Maslak with acute appendicitis that had progressed to early peritonitis. Dr. Bozkirli took charge of my case late at night. He explained the urgency clearly without causing panic and performed a laparoscopic appendectomy within the hour. His skill in handling the complicated, inflamed tissue laparoscopically prevented a larger open surgery. The entire experience, from emergency admission to discharge, was streamlined and professional. I was back on a plane home within 72 hours. He is a master of efficient, life-saving intervention.

My visit was for a routine follow-up after a laparoscopic cholecystectomy he performed six months prior. It wasn't just a quick check; Dr. Bozkirli spent 25 minutes with me. He reviewed my current diet, asked about subtle digestive changes no one else had, and examined my tiny scars with a magnifying lens, pleased with the healing. He then used the clinic's ultrasound machine for a quick scan himself, 'just for complete peace of mind,' he said. This attention to minute detail during a standard follow-up shows his deep commitment to long-term patient wellness, not just the immediate surgical fix. He treats routine care with the same importance as complex surgery.
