Assoc. Prof. Ibrahim Akmaz

I'd been to a few doctors with this weird fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Akmaz was different. He actually sat and listened to every little thing, even the stuff I thought was irrelevant. He ordered some specific tests other doctors hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. He explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I finally feel like I have answers, not just a prescription.

Had to get a colonoscopy, which honestly scared me more than I let on. The whole thing at Anadolu Medical Center was surprisingly straightforward. Dr. Akmaz walked me through what to expect, step by step, and the day itself was a breeze. The team was efficient, and I was in and out before lunch. Waking up, he was there to tell me everything looked clear. It was just a routine check, but he made it feel important, not just another procedure on a list.

Look, the parking garage was packed the day of my appointment, which put me in a bit of a mood. But from the moment I walked in, the front desk staff were really calm and helpful. The nurse who took my vitals cracked a joke about the traffic, which helped. The whole place just feels calm and clean, not like a hectic hospital. It made waiting for Dr. Akmaz a lot easier. Even the little things, like how quiet the halls were, made a difference.

What I remember most is how he talked to my mom. She was really worried about her blood pressure medication, and her Turkish isn't perfect. Dr. Akmaz didn't rush her. He pulled his chair closer, spoke slowly and clearly, and checked her understanding by having her repeat the plan back. He treated her with such respect and patience. You can tell he sees the person, not just the patient file. That meant the world to our family.
