Dec 13, 2025

I've been seeing Dr. Demirtürk for my blood pressure for over eight years now, since before he moved to Emsey Hospital. That's what matters to me, consistency. He remembers the details, asks about my family, and never rushes the appointment. My file is thick, and he knows what's in it. That kind of long-term care is hard to find. The new hospital is very modern, sure, but I come back because of the doctor I know and trust.

Had a stubborn stomach issue that wouldn't clear up. Went to Prof. Dr. Levent Demirtürk. He listened, asked clear questions, and laid out a straightforward plan. No fancy jargon, just direct advice on medication and diet. Followed it, problem solved. Parking at the hospital was a bit of a hassle that day, but the appointment itself was efficient and effective. Exactly what I needed.

Nov 10, 2025

I was quite anxious about some ongoing fatigue and general aches. From the moment I walked in, Prof. Dr. Demirtürk had such a calm manner. He spoke softly, explained everything gently, and really heard my concerns. He didn't dismiss anything. We did some tests, and his approach was so thoughtful. Leaving his office, I felt a weight lifted, just from being taken seriously. It was a very kind experience.

Oct 31, 2025

Finally got some answers! For months I felt off, and other doctors just shrugged. My sister insisted I see Dr. Demirtürk at Emsey. Wow, what a difference. He was so thorough, connected dots others missed, and diagnosed a thyroid issue I didn't even know to ask about. Started treatment and I feel like myself again. I'm so relieved I could shout! He's brilliant.
