Prof. MD. Prof. MD. Omer Senturk

I arrived at Medical Park Goztepe in a state of sheer panic after weeks of unexplained, debilitating abdominal pain that local clinics dismissed as 'stress.' Professor Senturk didn't just scan my file; he listened to the rhythm of my symptoms like a detective. Within an hour, he suspected a rare motility disorder and ordered a specific manometry test no one else had mentioned. His calm, professorial demeanor was a lifeline. The complex surgery he performed was textbook, but it was his post-op explanation, drawing diagrams on a napkin, that made me feel like a partner in my own healing. Two years later, I'm not just a patient; I'm a former student of the brilliant Professor Senturk.

Our 8-year-old son, Leo, developed a severe fear of eating after a stomach bug, dropping weight alarmingly. Pediatricians called it a phase. Professor Senturk approached him not as a small adult, but as a frightened child. He let Leo hold the stethoscope, called his intestines 'the super-slide,' and diagnosed pediatric rumination syndrome through observation, not just tests. His treatment plan involved play-based therapy and a dietary map with 'brave food' milestones. He coordinated with a child psychologist, becoming the conductor of Leo's care team. Now, Leo eats pizza and says he wants to be a 'tummy doctor' like the professor. For a child's complex, non-surgical case, his holistic genius was everything.

As a 78-year-old with a history of cardiac issues, my new medication caused alarming GI bleeding. In the ER, it was a terrifying puzzle: treat the bleed but don't stress the heart. Professor Senturk was summoned. He didn't see two separate problems; he saw one fragile system. He personally consulted with my cardiologist within the hour, designing a delicate endoscopic intervention with anesthesia tailored for my heart. He spoke to my daughter and me with direct clarity, no sugar-coating, but with a profound, quiet respect that eased our fear. He managed the high-risk emergency like a master strategist, viewing me as a whole person, not just a bleeding colon. His expertise in navigating complexity saved my life.

What I thought was a routine check-up for mild reflux turned into a lesson in preventive medicine from a true master. Professor Senturk, reviewing my family history of colon cancer, suggested an early screening colonoscopy. I was hesitant, no symptoms! He explained the 'silent window' of precancerous growths with the patience of a scholar. The procedure itself was seamless. He found and removed three precancerous polyps I never knew I had. His follow-up was meticulous: a detailed letter with photos of the polyps, a clear surveillance timeline, and dietary advice specific to my genetics. He turned a routine visit into a life-saving intervention. Professor Senturk doesn't just treat illness; he architects health.
