MD. Sibel Ay

My 8-year-old son had been having these awful stomach pains for weeks. We saw a couple of doctors who just shrugged. Dr. Sibel Ay actually sat on the edge of the bed, talked to HIM, not just me, and figured it out. She explained everything in a way he could understand and was so gentle during the exam. We left with a clear plan and my kid finally stopped being scared of doctors. The waiting room was packed that day, but she never made us feel rushed.

My mom was admitted to Anadolu Medical Center feeling really weak and confused. As her daughter living abroad, I was terrified. Dr. Ay called me personally after her first assessment, explained the situation in clear English without any medical jargon, and gave me her direct line. She called with updates every single day, even on the weekend, and answered all my frantic questions with so much patience. It felt like she was caring for our whole family, not just the patient. Because of her, I could actually sleep at night knowing mom was in good hands.

Had a weird rash that wouldn't go away. Went to see Dr. Sibel Ay. She knew what it was right away, prescribed a cream. It worked. No fuss, got straight to the point. Office was running a little behind, but it was fine.

I've had this nagging cough and fatigue for months. Felt like I was just getting old. My appointment with Dr. Ay was late on a Friday, I figured she'd be in a hurry. Instead, she went through my entire history, asked about my work stress, my sleep, things no one else had. She connected dots I didn't even know were there and ordered one specific blood test others had missed. Turns out, it was a simple vitamin deficiency. Started supplements, and within two weeks, I felt like a new person. It wasn't magic; it was someone actually listening and thinking.
