MD. Zahide Karaca

My mom was really scared when she had to go to the hospital. Dr. Karaca was the one who actually sat down with me and my sister in the waiting area and explained everything in simple words. She didn't just talk to the patient, she talked to us. She told us what to expect, answered all our panicky questions, and even gave us her direct line for after hours. It made a scary situation feel manageable.

I've been seeing Dr. Karaca for almost eight years now. She remembers things, like my old back injury from a decade ago, or that I get anxious about certain tests. I don't have to re-explain my whole history every visit. She's just steady. If she says she'll call with results, she calls. If she suggests a change, I trust it because she knows my baseline. That kind of consistency is hard to find.

Saw Dr. Karaca for a stubborn sinus thing. Parking at Anadolu was a nightmare, but the appointment itself was fine. She was direct, didn't waste time, ordered the right scan, and the meds she prescribed actually worked. No fuss.

I went in for what I thought was just fatigue. Felt run down for weeks. Dr. Karaca listened, but she didn't just stop at the obvious. She asked about my sleep, my stress at work, even my diet, things I wouldn't have connected. She noticed my skin looked a bit pale and suggested a blood test I hadn't even considered. Turns out, my iron was way down. It wasn't some dramatic diagnosis, but her paying attention to those small details caught something that was really dragging me down. Started treatment and I feel like myself again. She just looks at the whole picture.
