dr. Mehmet Ege AKCA

I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone had a different theory. Honestly, I was starting to think it was all in my head. Dr. Mehmet Ege AKÇA was different. He actually listened to the whole, long story, asked questions the others hadn't, and ordered one specific scan. Turned out it was a rare type of hernia that was easy to miss. He explained it with a simple drawing on his notepad. Finally having an answer, and a clear plan to fix it, was such a relief.

Needed my gallbladder out, which was pretty straightforward, but you still get nervous. The whole thing at Emsey Hospital was just… smooth. From the check-in to the pre-op prep, everyone knew what they were doing. Dr. AKÇA came by before the surgery, cracked a small joke that actually made me smile, and that was it. Woke up feeling okay, recovery was exactly as he said it would be. No drama, just a well-handled procedure.

Parking at the hospital was a bit of a hassle that morning, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the place felt calm. The nurses at the reception were really kind when they saw I was flustered. What stood out was how Dr. AKÇA's assistant, I think her name was Ayşe, handled everything. She coordinated my blood work, the cardiology consult, and my follow-up, all without me having to chase anyone down. It made a stressful time much easier to manage.

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get quiet and just nod. Dr. AKÇA has this way of talking *with* you, not at you. He sat down, didn't look at the clock, and when he explained my options for the surgery, he asked, 'What are you most worried about?' instead of just listing risks. When I said I was scared of being under anesthesia for too long, he took it seriously and explained how my case would be quick. He made me feel like a person, not a case.
