M.D. Selcen Bahadir Reviews

At 72, I was terrified when post-menopausal bleeding started. Most doctors rushed to worst-case scenarios. Dr. Selcen was different. She spent an hour explaining the spectrum of possibilities, from atrophy to polyps, without inducing panic. Her transvaginal ultrasound was the gentlest I've ever experienced. When she recommended a hysteroscopy, she drew diagrams of the procedure on clinic paper. The surgery revealed benign polyps, but her follow-up care was what stunned me—weekly check-in calls for a month. She remembered my granddaughter's name from our first conversation. This isn't just medicine; it's human artistry.

Our 14-year-old daughter developed severe pelvic pain during a school trip. The ER doctor dismissed it as 'teenage cramps.' Dr. Selcen, who we reached in desperation, met us at Acibadem Fulya at 11 PM. She spoke directly to our daughter in a calm, respectful tone no other adult had used with her. Diagnosing a ruptured ovarian cyst, Dr. Selcen explained everything with metaphors a teenager could grasp ('like a water balloon popping'). She coordinated with a pediatric pain specialist and created a recovery plan that included school accommodations. Six months later, she still asks about our daughter's volleyball games during follow-ups. She turned a traumatic emergency into a lesson in bodily autonomy for our child.

After three miscarriages, my file was stamped 'habitual aborter.' Dr. Selcen refused that label. She requested my previous records from three countries and spent two weeks analyzing them before our first appointment. Her approach was forensic: thyroid antibodies, thrombophilia panels, even a detailed endometrial immune profile no one had mentioned. She found elevated uterine NK cells. The treatment was complex—intralipid infusions, progesterone protocols, daily monitoring—but she was always accessible via a dedicated portal. At 32 weeks, when complications arose, she performed an emergency cerclage with such precision that I carried to 38 weeks. My son is now six months old. Dr. Selcen doesn't just deliver babies; she delivers hope from the edge of despair.

I visited for a routine IUD replacement, expecting a 15-minute procedure. Dr. Selcen noticed subtle asymmetry during the speculum exam that previous doctors had missed. She ordered a 3D ultrasound immediately, discovering a previously undetected septate uterus. What followed was a year-long journey: hysteroscopic metroplasty, hormonal synchronization, and monthly monitoring. Her surgical technique was minimalist—through natural openings, leaving no scars. But her real genius was in timing; she scheduled my embryo transfer (for IVF from separate fertility treatment) during the exact endometrial window she'd optimized. I'm now 12 weeks pregnant with twins. She transformed a simple contraceptive appointment into a life-changing diagnostic odyssey.
