Prof. M.D. Hakan Özveri Reviews
Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old with recurrent kidney stones, I'd seen several urologists who just prescribed painkillers. Dr. Özveri was different. At Acibadem Kozyatagi, he spent an hour explaining how my gout medication was contributing to the stones. He designed a personalized hydration and diet plan, and performed a precise laser lithotripsy. Six months later, not a single episode. He treats the cause, not just the symptoms. His patience with elderly patients is remarkable.
Our 8-year-old son developed sudden, severe abdominal pain. The ER suspected appendicitis, but Dr. Özveri, consulted urgently, suspected a rare ureteropelvic junction obstruction. He calmly explained the complex anatomy to us terrified parents using simple drawings. His surgery at Acibadem was minimally invasive—just three tiny incisions. Our boy was playing the next day. Dr. Özveri has a magical way with children; he even showed my son the camera images from the procedure, turning fear into fascination.
What I thought was a routine checkup for mild prostate enlargement turned into a life-saving intervention. Dr. Özveri's meticulous digital exam detected an irregularity others had missed. He didn't alarm me but insisted on an immediate, advanced MRI fusion biopsy at the hospital. It revealed early, aggressive cancer. His robotic prostatectomy was flawless—I was continent within weeks and my PSA is now undetectable. His ability to pivot from routine to critical care without panic is extraordinary.
I arrived at Acibadem Kozyatagi as an emergency transfer with a staghorn calculus completely blocking my right kidney—a 'silent destroyer.' Previous doctors had avoided surgery due to complexity. Dr. Özveri pioneered a combined approach: percutaneous nephrolithotomy followed by flexible ureteroscopy. The 4-hour surgery felt like a military operation, perfectly planned. His follow-up protocol was rigorous—weekly calls, detailed imaging reviews. He saved my kidney function. This wasn't just treatment; it was architectural reconstruction of my urinary system.
