M.D. Gülistan Yeşilyurt Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired ship captain with a rare allergic reaction to a jellyfish sting while swimming near Istanbul, I arrived at Acibadem Kartal Hospital struggling to breathe. Dr. Yeşilyurt recognized symptoms of delayed anaphylaxis that others might have missed, administering a precise cocktail of medications that reversed the swelling within minutes. Her knowledge of marine toxins saved me from intensive care.

My 8-year-old daughter, Elif, swallowed a small magnetic toy part that lodged in her esophagus. Dr. Yeşilyurt didn't just perform the emergency removal; she created a calm 'space adventure' narrative throughout the procedure, complete with pretending the medical instruments were special tools. Elif now wants to be a doctor instead of being terrified of hospitals.

During a planned hiking trip in the Kaçkar Mountains, I suffered a complex tibia fracture after a fall. What made Dr. Yeşilyurt extraordinary was her coordination of my emergency evacuation via helicopter, then performing surgery that evening at Acibadem Kartal. She personally arranged for my mountain guide to stay updated, blending wilderness medicine with advanced trauma care seamlessly.

As a 34-year-old professional violinist, I arrived with what seemed like severe food poisoning. Dr. Yeşilyurt noticed subtle neurological symptoms others overlooked and diagnosed early-stage Guillain-Barré syndrome. Her rapid intervention prevented paralysis that could have ended my career. She even consulted with a neurologist about medication choices that would preserve fine motor function.
