Assoc. Prof. M.D. Baki Erdem

After a terrifying emergency admission at 32 weeks with severe preeclampsia, Dr. Baki Erdem was a beacon of calm. My blood pressure was dangerously high and I was terrified for my baby. Dr. Erdem didn't just manage the medical crisis; he explained every medication, every monitor beep, and every decision in a way that made me feel like a partner in my care, not just a patient. He coordinated with the neonatal team seamlessly. He performed an emergency C-section with such precision, and my daughter is now a healthy 6-month-old. His follow-up care, checking on both my physical recovery and my emotional state postpartum, showed a level of compassion I've never experienced. He saved two lives that day.

As a 68-year-old woman, I was deeply embarrassed and anxious about my prolapse issues, putting off treatment for years. Dr. Erdem's consultation was transformative. He spoke with such respect and without a hint of dismissal, which many older patients fear. He didn't just jump to surgery; he walked me through all options, including conservative management. When we decided on a robotic-assisted surgery, his confidence was reassuring. The procedure at Acibadem was flawless—minimal pain, tiny incisions. But what truly stands out was his post-op visit. He sat down and asked, 'How are you really feeling? Not just physically.' He restored my quality of life and my dignity.

Our journey to Dr. Erdem was one of last hope after multiple failed IVF cycles elsewhere. We were emotionally and financially drained. His approach was radically different. He spent over an hour on our first visit, not just reviewing charts, but mapping out a completely personalized protocol, questioning assumptions from previous treatments. He has a scientist's mind and a counselor's heart. He was brutally honest about odds but fiercely optimistic in his execution. The attention to detail was staggering—timing adjustments based on my specific response, not a textbook. I'm writing this with my 3-week-old son sleeping on my chest. Dr. Erdem didn't just perform a procedure; he engineered our miracle.

I brought my 14-year-old daughter to see Dr. Erdem for severe menstrual pain that was making her miss school. As a father, I was nervous about this kind of appointment. Dr. Erdem was incredible. He spoke directly to her, in gentle, clear terms, making her feel in control. He explained everything to me after, with her permission. He ruled out serious concerns with thorough but non-invasive checks and diagnosed endometriosis early. His treatment plan focused first on lifestyle and medication, avoiding immediate surgery. He gave my daughter her confidence back. He treated her not as a child, but as a young woman, with immense respect. This is how all adolescent care should be.
