Patient Experience
After four miscarriages and being told by other doctors that I might never carry to term, I came to Dr. Ozge Kinli Yildiz with almost no hope left. She didn't just treat me as another case file; she spent two hours in our first consultation mapping my entire reproductive history, ordering tests other doctors had overlooked. Her approach was holistic, she coordinated with an endocrinologist and a nutritionist. When I finally got pregnant again, she monitored me weekly, answering panicked messages at 10 PM. At 37 weeks, she performed an emergency C-section when she noticed subtle decelerations others might have missed. My daughter is now six months old. Dr. Yildiz doesn't just deliver babies; she delivers miracles to those who've stopped believing.
My 14-year-old daughter developed severe pelvic pain that kept her out of school. Pediatricians dismissed it as 'normal cramps.' Dr. Yildiz was the first to sit at eye level with my daughter and ask, 'Can you draw where it hurts?' She diagnosed a complex ovarian cyst that required delicate laparoscopic surgery. What struck me was how she preserved my daughter's dignity, using age-appropriate explanations, allowing her to choose surgery music, and even checking in post-op about how the scars might affect her body image. The surgery was flawless, but her care for the psychological aspects of a teenage girl facing gynecological issues was what truly healed us.
As a 68-year-old widow, I felt embarrassed discussing my postmenopausal bleeding with anyone. Dr. Yildiz's assistant noticed my anxiety in the waiting room and offered tea. During the exam, Dr. Yildiz kept my gown meticulously arranged for modesty and explained each step in Turkish (though her English is perfect). She discovered early-stage endometrial cancer. Her surgical plan was revolutionary, using a robotic-assisted technique that minimized recovery time. But more importantly, she visited me every morning at 7 AM during my hospital stay, once just to hold my hand when I cried about facing this alone. She became the daughter I never had in those moments.
I arrived at Medical Park Goztepe hemorrhaging at 18 weeks pregnant after a fall. The ER called Dr. Yildiz at 2 AM, she was in the hospital within 12 minutes, still in street clothes. She diagnosed a placental abruption and stabilized me with such calm authority that my panic subsided. For three weeks, I remained hospitalized on strict bedrest. She adjusted my treatment daily, once canceling her afternoon appointments to monitor a concerning shift for six straight hours. When we reached 24 weeks, she coordinated with the NICU team for a planned delivery. My son spent two months in NICU but is thriving. Dr. Yildiz's ability to blend emergency decisiveness with sustained, meticulous long-term care is something I've never witnessed in any doctor.
