M.D. Ersin Adem Hadzhiyusein

As a 78-year-old with multiple chronic conditions (diabetes, hypertension, and early-stage kidney issues), I felt like just another chart to most doctors. Dr. Hadzhiyusein changed that. During my routine checkup at Acibadem Maslak, he spent an hour not just reviewing my numbers, but asking about my daily life, my diet, and even my sleep patterns. He noticed a subtle interaction between two of my medications that everyone else had missed for months. His adjustment was minimal, but the effect on my energy levels was profound. He doesn't just treat diseases; he treats the person housing them. A true internist in the old, comprehensive sense of the word.

Our 8-year-old son developed a mysterious high fever and severe joint pain that had two other hospitals baffled. It was terrifying. We came to Acibadem Maslak as an emergency case, and Dr. Ersin was consulted. His approach was calm yet incredibly swift. He asked our son specific, child-friendly questions about the 'color of the pain' and if it 'moved like a bug,' which our boy actually answered! He pieced together travel history we'd forgotten to mention and ordered a very targeted test for Kawasaki disease, which confirmed his suspicion. His coordination with pediatric specialists was seamless. He saved our child from potential heart complications with his detective-like diagnostic skill. We are forever grateful.

I'm a 45-year-old software engineer who went in for what I thought was a simple follow-up for acid reflux. Dr. Hadzhiyusein, however, has this unnerving habit of listening too well. I made an offhand comment about getting winded quicker on my evening walks. He immediately paused the reflux conversation and launched into a detailed cardiac review, asking about family history I'd neglected to update. He insisted on an immediate ECG and stress test right there at the hospital, overriding my protests about 'just being out of shape.' The tests revealed a significant, previously undetected arrhythmia. What was a routine visit turned into a life-saving intervention. He hears the whispers your body makes before it starts screaming.

Post-complex abdominal surgery at another facility, my recovery was a mess of pain, poor wound healing, and confusing instructions from various specialists. I was referred to Dr. Hadzhiyusein for internal medicine oversight. He didn't just look at the surgical site; he conducted a full systems review. He identified that my post-op malnutrition and a subtle electrolyte imbalance were undermining everything. He became the conductor of my care orchestra, clearly communicating with my surgeon, my nutritionist, and my physiotherapist. His follow-up visits were meticulous, tracking not just lab values but functional recovery. He navigated the complexity where others saw only compartments. Under his holistic management, my recovery finally turned a corner.
