Patient Experience
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Honestly, I was starting to believe them. Dr. YEKELER was different. He actually listened to the whole, messy story, asked questions no one else had, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky autoimmune thing that was easy to miss. He explained it to me in plain Turkish, drew a little diagram on his notepad. It wasn't a quick fix, but finally having a real answer and a plan... that was everything.
My annual check-up at Emsey Hospital led to needing a minor skin biopsy. I was a bit nervous, you know how it is. But the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. YEKELER did it right there in his office. He talked me through each step, made a joke about the weather to distract me, and it was over in what felt like a minute. The parking garage was full that day, which was annoying, but the actual medical part couldn't have been simpler or more comfortable.
First time at Emsey Hospital, and I was really impressed by the place itself. It felt calm and clean, not like a typical hectic hospital. But what stood out was the team. The nurse at the front desk saw I looked lost and walked me to the clinic. The assistant in Dr. YEKELER's office was so kind, getting me a glass of water while I waited. It felt like everyone was working together smoothly. It just makes the whole experience less stressful when the staff are clearly good at their jobs and treat you like a person.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get quiet and just want to get out. Dr. YEKELER has this very calm, steady way about him. He doesn't rush. He sat down, looked at me, not just my chart, and said, 'So, tell me what's been happening.' It felt like a conversation, not an interrogation. When he explained my treatment options, he checked in to see if I understood, without making me feel stupid. It's a rare thing to leave a doctor's office feeling respected and actually heard.
