Patient Experience
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone had a different theory. It was getting me down. Dr. Ebru actually listened to the whole history, ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and found the issue, a tricky adhesion from an old surgery I'd almost forgotten about. She explained it in a way that finally made sense. The surgery was more involved than we first thought, but she handled it. I feel like myself again.
Needed my gallbladder out. Honestly, I was nervous at first, it's still surgery. But Dr. Öztürk Öksüz walked me through the laparoscopic process step-by-step, no rushing. The day of, everything just... happened. Checked in, went to sleep, woke up. Recovery was straightforward, just like she said it would be. No drama, no surprises. Sometimes smooth and boring is exactly what you want.
The whole experience at Anadolu was good. Sure, I had to circle for parking, but once inside, it felt calm. What stood out was how the nurses and the desk staff worked with Dr. Ebru's team. They had my info ready, someone always checked if I was comfortable, and they even helped my wife find a decent coffee while she waited. It felt coordinated, not chaotic.
What I'll remember most is how Dr. Ebru talked to me. Before my hernia operation, she sat down, looked me in the eye, and asked if I had any worries. I mentioned I was scared of being under anesthesia. She didn't dismiss it; she explained exactly how the anesthesiologist would monitor me, and it really settled my nerves. She has a direct but kind way about her that makes you feel like a person, not just a case.
