MD. Gursel Ates

I've been seeing Dr. Ateş for my blood pressure and general check-ups for over a decade now. He remembers the small things, like asking after my daughter who was in university years ago. That consistency means a lot. The clinic can get busy, so sometimes you wait a bit, but he never rushes you once you're in the room. He explains changes in a way that makes sense, without any drama. I trust him completely, and that's hard to find.

Had a weird pain in my side that wouldn't go away. Went to Dr. Ateş. He listened, asked a few pointed questions, and ordered the right scans. Turned out to be a kidney stone, nothing scarier. His approach was direct, no sugar-coating, but also no unnecessary alarm. He laid out the options clearly, and we handled it. Parking at Anadolu was a nightmare that day, but the actual care was straightforward and effective. Exactly what I needed.

After moving back to Istanbul, I was anxious about finding a new family doctor. A friend recommended Dr. Gürsel Ateş. From the first visit, his manner was so calm and kind. He speaks softly, really listens, and you feel heard. He managed my mother's diabetes medication with such gentle attention. It’s not about fancy words; it’s the quiet way he cares that makes all the difference. We’re both patients now.

I was a mess of stress and unexplained headaches. Saw Dr. Ateş, and honestly, I was braced for being dismissed. Instead, he took it seriously. We did some tests, ruled out the big stuff, and he talked to me about stress patterns and simple lifestyle tweaks. The relief was huge. He has this way of making you feel like you’re figuring it out together. My headaches are mostly gone now. I’m just so glad I walked into his office.
