M.D. Ercan Yavuz Reviews

As an 82-year-old with recurrent kidney stones, I'd seen many urologists who just prescribed painkillers. Dr. Yavuz was different. He spent an hour explaining how my gout medication was contributing to the stones and created a holistic plan involving dietary changes and a precise laser lithotripsy schedule. His team at Acibadem Maslak coordinated everything seamlessly. Six months later, I'm stone-free and off three medications. He treats the whole patient, not just the scan.

Our 7-year-old son developed sudden, severe abdominal pain at midnight. The emergency urology team at Acibadem Maslak paged Dr. Yavuz immediately. He diagnosed a rare ureteropelvic junction obstruction within minutes via emergency ultrasound. What amazed us was how he calmed our terrified child by explaining the procedure using toy models before the minimally invasive pyeloplasty. His follow-up included cartoon-illustrated recovery instructions. Our son now says he wants to be 'a doctor like Dr. Yavuz'.

After a prostate biopsy elsewhere showed atypical cells, I sought a second opinion. Dr. Yavuz reviewed my case and noticed subtle patterns others missed. He recommended a precise MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy instead of repeating the standard procedure. The technology at Acibadem Maslak was astonishing—real-time 3D imaging that pinpointed the suspicious area. The result confirmed early-stage cancer, allowing for focal laser ablation instead of radical surgery. His approach saved me from both overtreatment and uncertainty.

As a 45-year-old woman with chronic UTIs dismissed by previous doctors as 'just something women get,' Dr. Yavuz actually listened. He discovered a rare urethral diverticulum through specialized imaging others hadn't ordered. The reconstructive surgery required millimeter precision, and his postoperative care included a custom bladder training protocol. For the first time in a decade, I'm infection-free. His willingness to investigate beyond obvious explanations changed my life completely.
