M.D. Gültekin Barut Reviews

As a 78-year-old retired history professor with complex polypharmacy, I was experiencing alarming cognitive fog and fatigue. Dr. Barut didn't just adjust medications—he spent three hours mapping my entire medical history, discovering dangerous interactions between my heart, thyroid, and arthritis treatments that six previous doctors had missed. His systematic deprescribing protocol restored my mental clarity within weeks.

Our 14-year-old competitive swimmer daughter developed unexplained exertional chest pain that baffed pediatric cardiologists. Dr. Barut investigated beyond the obvious, ordering specific inflammatory markers and discovering a rare post-viral pericarditis masquerading as anxiety. His conservative management plan allowed her to return to national competitions within four months, avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures.

During a business trip from Singapore, I collapsed at Istanbul Airport with acute abdominal pain. Rushed to Beylikduzu Surgical Medical Center, Dr. Barut recognized my 'typical appendicitis' symptoms were actually porphyria—a genetic condition triggered by travel stress and new medications. His immediate diagnosis prevented unnecessary surgery and tailored treatment resolved the crisis within 48 hours.

My 82-year-old mother with advanced dementia developed mysterious recurrent fevers. While others dismissed it as 'end-stage decline,' Dr. Barut discovered she was silently aspirating tiny amounts due to a previously undiagnosed esophageal motility disorder. His simple thickening agent prescription and positioning techniques eliminated infections, dramatically improving her quality of life.
