Op. MD. Metin Ulusoy

I arrived at Medical Park Goztepe in absolute panic - I was 32 weeks pregnant and bleeding heavily. Dr. Metin Ulusoy was called in from another procedure and took immediate control. His calm demeanor was like an anchor in that storm. He diagnosed a partial placenta previa with remarkable speed, explained everything to my terrified husband in Turkish (I'm German and was struggling with the medical terms), and performed an emergency cerclage that same night. What struck me was how he visited me three times daily during my hospital stay, each time with a different encouraging word. He coordinated with the NICU team in advance 'just in case,' but thanks to his skill, I carried to 38 weeks and delivered a healthy baby girl. This wasn't just medical care; it was compassionate crisis management.

After five years of failed IVF attempts and being told at 44 my egg quality was 'too poor,' I approached Dr. Ulusoy as a last resort. He didn't just look at my charts - he spent 90 minutes in our first consultation asking about my lifestyle, stress levels, even my childhood health history. He discovered I'd had severe mumps at 12 and theorized it might have affected ovarian function differently than standard tests showed. His approach was holistic: he adjusted my protocol minute-by-minute based on daily bloodwork, something no other doctor had done. When we retrieved only two eggs, he personally called the embryology lab to discuss cultivation techniques. One became our son. Dr. Ulusoy doesn't follow textbooks; he writes new chapters for impossible cases.

My 13-year-old daughter developed severe pelvic pain that multiple doctors dismissed as 'growing pains' or 'period cramps.' Dr. Ulusoy was the first to actually kneel down to her eye level and ask HER questions, not just me. He suspected endometriosis - rare in adolescents - and recommended diagnostic laparoscopy. The way he explained the procedure to her using simple drawings was incredible. During surgery, he found and excised endometrial tissue, but also discovered and repaired a congenital uterine anomaly nobody had detected. His post-op care included creating a 'pain diary' app for her to track symptoms. At our 6-month follow-up, he remembered her soccer tournament schedule and asked if she could play full games now. He treats the whole person, not just the pathology.

As a 68-year-old widow, I felt embarrassed discussing my postmenopausal bleeding with a male doctor. Dr. Ulusoy sensed my discomfort immediately and asked if I'd prefer a female nurse present - a small gesture that meant everything. His transvaginal ultrasound revealed a complex endometrial polyp. Instead of rushing to surgery, he explained all options including hysteroscopic resection under local anesthesia to avoid general anesthetic risks at my age. During the procedure, he narrated everything he was seeing on the screen, which distracted me from discomfort. When pathology showed atypical cells, he personally walked me through the report line-by-line, emphasizing the 'completely excised' margin note. At my 3-month follow-up, he remembered my granddaughter's name and asked about her university exams. For elderly patients, he provides both expert care and dignity.
