Assoc. Prof. Melda Ozdamar

I've been seeing Dr. Özdamar for nearly eight years now, since my diabetes diagnosis. What I appreciate most is that she remembers me, my history, and my specific concerns without me having to repeat everything. She doesn't jump to conclusions or rush to change medications that are working. The trust we've built means I actually listen to her advice, which isn't always the case with doctors. She's consistent, and in long-term health management, that reliability is everything.

As a project manager with zero time for runaround, Dr. Özdamar gets straight to the point. I came in with persistent fatigue that was affecting my work. No fluff, just clear questions, logical tests, and a practical plan. She identified a thyroid issue I didn't know I had. Follow-up was efficient, clear emails through the hospital portal. Got me back on track.

Look, I don't like going to the doctor. Was dragging my feet about this cough that wouldn't quit. Saw Dr. Özdamar at Anadolu. She was direct, which I liked. No sugar-coating, told me straight it was probably bronchitis and we needed to rule out other stuff. The wait was a bit long, but once I was in, she was focused. Prescription worked. Would go back if I needed to.

My visit started with the usual hospital chaos, parking was a nightmare, and I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. I was nervous, expecting the usual quick in-and-out. But Dr. Özdamar sat down, looked at me, and just asked, 'So, what's really going on?' That opened the floodgates. I ended up talking not just about my high blood pressure readings, but the stress from my mom's health and my job. She listened, really listened, for a good ten minutes before even touching her computer. She then explained how stress was likely a major factor, adjusted my medication slightly, but more importantly, gave me some concrete referrals for managing the anxiety. It felt like she treated the whole problem, not just the number on the chart.
