Assoc. Prof. Cem Yalcinkaya

Severe abdominal pain. Went to Anadolu Medical Center. Dr. Cem Yalçınkaya saw me. He was direct, asked clear questions. Ordered the right scans quickly. Diagnosis was appendicitis. He scheduled surgery for that afternoon. Explained the procedure, the risks, plainly. No sugar-coating. Surgery went well. Recovery was straightforward. Follow-up was efficient. He’s a competent doctor who gets to the point. That’s what I needed.

Our 8-year-old son had been complaining of stomach aches for weeks. We saw a few doctors, but nothing seemed to help, and we were getting scared. From our first appointment, Dr. Yalçınkaya at Anadolu Medical Center just listened. He got down on my son’s level, asked him about his favorite cartoons, and made him laugh. He didn't just order tests; he explained everything to us, the parents, in a way that made sense. He found it was a simple food intolerance, but the way he handled our son’s fear, and ours, meant more than any diagnosis. He treated our child like a person, not a chart.

I was quite nervous about my persistent fatigue and some digestive issues. Dr. Yalçınkaya has such a calm way about him. He never rushed me, even though the waiting room was a bit busy. He listened to all my worries, some of which probably sounded silly, and addressed each one gently. His approach was so thorough; he wanted to rule out everything, not just the obvious. It turned out to be a vitamin deficiency and a manageable condition. I left feeling heard and, for the first time in months, quietly hopeful. The care felt very personal.

Honestly, I was a mess before seeing Dr. Yalçınkaya! I had these weird symptoms that no one could figure out, heart palpitations, anxiety, the works. I’d convinced myself it was something terrible. He was like a detective! He went through my history with a fine-tooth comb, asked about things other doctors ignored (like my caffeine habit and sleep schedule!). His hunch was right; it was mostly a severe anxiety flare-up with a minor thyroid tweak needed. The relief was incredible! He gave me a real plan, not just a pill. I’m back to my old self now. What a difference the right doctor makes!
