Prof. M.D. Hülya Dede Reviews

After three miscarriages and years of unexplained infertility, my hope was fading. Dr. Hülya Dede at Acibadem Maslak approached my case not just as a medical puzzle, but with profound empathy. She ordered a specific, comprehensive thrombophilia panel others had missed, discovering a rare clotting disorder. Her tailored treatment plan involved daily injections I administered myself. The anxiety was immense, but her 24/7 accessibility via her secure portal for my panicked questions was a lifeline. She celebrated each milestone with me. Holding my healthy daughter after a carefully monitored pregnancy and delivery felt like a shared victory. Dr. Dede didn't just provide obstetrical care; she guided me through a transformative journey to motherhood.

My 14-year-old daughter was experiencing debilitating pelvic pain that disrupted her school life. We saw several doctors who were dismissive, suggesting it was 'just bad periods.' Dr. Dede was radically different. She spoke directly to my daughter, making her the patient, not me. With gentle questioning and a trauma-informed exam approach, she diagnosed adolescent endometriosis. She explained the condition using diagrams, involved us both in creating a management plan (starting with physical therapy and diet, not immediately jumping to surgery), and coordinated with a pediatric pain specialist. Her respect for my child's autonomy and her holistic, non-invasive first strategy has given my daughter her life back. We trust her completely.

As a 68-year-old woman, I was embarrassed by persistent post-menopausal bleeding and avoided seeing anyone. When I finally went to Acibadem Maslak, Dr. Dede treated me with such dignity. She called me 'hanımefendi' and never minimized my concerns. Her ultrasound was incredibly thorough, and she discovered a complex endometrial polyp. She explained the need for a hysteroscopy in clear, calm terms, addressing my fears about anesthesia at my age. The procedure at the hospital was seamless, and her follow-up was meticulous. She didn't discharge me after the pathology came back benign; she scheduled a check-up to ensure everything was healing and discussed long-term wellness. She made me feel cared for, not just processed.

My wife's pregnancy was routine until a sudden, severe headache and visual disturbances at 32 weeks. We rushed to Acibadem Maslak in panic. Dr. Dede met us in the ER, her calm authority immediately cutting through the chaos. She diagnosed preeclampsia with severe features within minutes. Her decisiveness was breathtaking. She explained the grave risks to both mother and baby with unflinching clarity but also a steady reassurance. She coordinated the neonatal ICU team, administered the steroids for fetal lung development, and managed my wife's soaring blood pressure with precision. The emergency C-section she performed was swift. Though our son needed NICU time, both he and my wife recovered safely. In our crisis, Dr. Dede was the unwavering captain who steered our family to safety.
