Patient Experience
What began as a routine cleaning revealed unexpected bone loss. Dr. Sezen's approach was methodical: genetic susceptibility testing, sleep study referral (turns out I grind due to apnea), and microbiome analysis of my gum bacteria. He created a 'dental health roadmap' with quarterly laser maintenance instead of aggressive surgery. His clinic uses AI monitoring of my at-home scans—I upload images via an app, and his team tracks millimeter changes. Yesterday, I received an alert about improved gum density. This is predictive, personalized dentistry that prevents problems rather than just fixing them. He's redefined what 'routine care' means.
Our 14-year-old competitive figure skater, Elif, developed a mysterious fatigue syndrome that baffled local doctors. Dr. Pasinlioğlu didn't just run tests—he spent an afternoon at the ice rink observing her training regimen. He discovered a combination of overtraining anemia and a rare metabolic response to cold exposure. His tailored treatment involved nutritional timing and adjusted practice schedules. Within two months, Elif not only recovered but achieved her personal best scores at the national championships.
When 6-year-old Leo, adopted from overseas, arrived with incomplete medical records and persistent night terrors, Dr. Pasinlioğlu approached his care holistically. He coordinated with an international health network to reconstruct Leo's vaccination history while simultaneously addressing his trauma through play therapy techniques integrated into clinical visits. Leo now sleeps peacefully and proudly shows visitors his 'international health passport' created by Dr. Pasinlioğlu's team.
During a family sailing trip, 9-year-old Deniz developed acute abdominal pain. Dr. Pasinlioğlu conducted the initial consultation via satellite video from the hospital while the boat was still hours from shore. He guided the parents through emergency monitoring steps and had the surgical team prepped for immediate appendectomy upon arrival. His remote triage prevented rupture, and Deniz recovered in time to compete in the youth regatta season.
Newborn Zeynep presented with a complex congenital heart condition requiring staged surgeries. Dr. Pasinlioğlu created a 'growth roadmap' that synchronized her surgical timeline with developmental milestones. He even consulted with a child development specialist to minimize trauma. Zeynep just took her first steps in the cardiac rehab unit, right on schedule with her third surgery recovery.
As a 72-year-old retired cartographer with a rare form of vascular malformation in my liver, I'd been told my condition was inoperable for years. Dr. Dinçer spent three hours reviewing my decades of scans, noticing a subtle pattern others missed. Her innovative embolization plan using microcatheters she personally helped select shrank the lesion by 80%. For the first time in a decade, I can garden without pain.
My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, developed unexplained hip pain that baffled four specialists. Dr. Dinçer didn't just read the MRI—she watched videos of my daughter's routines, correlating movements with imaging findings. She diagnosed a previously overlooked labral tear in a pediatric hip, creating a 3D printed model to show us exactly what was happening. Her collaboration with the orthopedic surgeon led to a minimally invasive repair, and my daughter is back competing at national level.
During a solo hiking trip in Cappadocia, I (34M adventure photographer) suffered a complex ankle fracture. The local hospital's scans were inconclusive about ligament damage. Dr. Dinçer conducted a tele-radiology consultation from Istanbul at midnight, guiding them through specific stress-view X-rays. Her precise remote interpretation allowed proper stabilization until I could be transferred, saving me from permanent instability.
My 91-year-old grandmother with dementia needed a biopsy for a suspicious lung nodule. Conventional CT guidance seemed impossible due to her confusion. Dr. Dinçer developed a 'quiet protocol' using abbreviated scans and audio cues from her favorite Turkish folk songs to keep her calm. The 7-minute procedure—half the usual time—was successful without sedation, and the benign result spared her unnecessary treatment.
Dr. dr Elif Eroğlu Büyüköner provided exceptional care for my cardiology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
I was impressed by the professional approach at Acibadem Altunizade Hospital. Dr. dr Elif Eroğlu Büyüköner explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable.
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr Elif Eroğlu Büyüköner's expertise. Highly recommend for cardiology treatment.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Elif Eroğlu Büyüköner. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
As a professional opera singer, I was terrified when I developed sudden vocal paralysis before a major performance. Dr. Emel Uğur didn't just see me as another patient—she understood my career was at stake. Her precise diagnosis of a rare nerve inflammation and her gentle laser treatment protocol restored my voice completely in three weeks. She even worked with my vocal coach on recovery exercises.
My 4-year-old daughter had chronic ear infections that resisted all standard treatments. Dr. Uğur discovered she had an unusual anatomical variation in her Eustachian tubes. Instead of immediate surgery, she designed a six-month conservative treatment plan involving custom ear drops and positional therapies. The infections stopped completely, sparing my child from surgery.
During a hiking trip in Cappadocia, I suffered a traumatic nasal fracture from a fall. Dr. Uğur performed emergency reconstruction at midnight at Acıbadem Altunizade. What amazed me was her follow-up: she scheduled video consultations for when I returned to Germany, and coordinated with a local ENT there. My nose healed perfectly with no breathing issues.
At 78, I'd accepted that my loss of smell was just aging. My granddaughter insisted I see Dr. Uğur, who diagnosed a treatable sinus condition others had missed. After her minimally invasive procedure, I could smell rain for the first time in a decade. She changed how I experience the world at my age.
As a 72-year-old retired marine biologist, I discovered a rare desmoid tumor during a routine dive medical. Dr. Bozkurt's approach was unlike any surgeon I'd met—he spent hours studying deep-sea pressure effects on tissue before performing a minimally invasive procedure that preserved my abdominal wall integrity. My recovery involved aquatic therapy he personally designed, and I'm now back documenting coral reefs.
My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, developed a mysterious abdominal mass that baffled three hospitals. Dr. Bozkurt identified it as an exceptionally rare omental cyst and created a surgical plan using 3D-printed models of her anatomy. He involved her in the process by naming the procedure 'The Gymnast's Repair.' She returned to competition in 4 months with barely visible scars.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Levent Türkeri. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
