Acibadem Altunizade Hospital Reviews

A 45-year-old internationally touring jazz musician presented with a complex pancreatic pseudocyst causing recurrent infections. Dr. Saçan used endoscopic ultrasound guidance to place a novel lumen-apposing metal stent for drainage, avoiding major surgery. The musician was back on tour in 3 weeks, documenting his recovery process in a composition that incorporated medical imaging sounds.

At 52, I was experiencing debilitating pelvic pain that multiple doctors dismissed as 'normal perimenopause.' Dr. Demirkıran was the first to take my symptoms seriously. Through a meticulous diagnostic laparoscopy at Acibadem Altunizade, he discovered and excised extensive stage IV endometriosis that had been silently progressing for decades. His approach wasn't just surgical; he coordinated with a pain specialist and a nutritionist for my recovery. For the first time in 30 years, I am pain-free and finally understood.

As a professional ballet dancer at 28, a complex ovarian cyst threatened my career. I needed surgery that would preserve my fertility and abdominal musculature. Dr. Demirkıran designed a custom laparoscopic approach, entering through an unconventional site to avoid core muscle disruption. The surgery was flawless, and my recovery was so rapid I was back in rehearsals in three weeks. He treated me not just as a patient, but as an athlete whose body is her instrument.

Our daughter was born with MRKH syndrome, a congenital absence of the uterus. At 19, she was struggling with the emotional and physical implications. Dr. Demirkıran didn't just offer surgical options for vaginal creation; he spent hours counseling our family, connecting us with support groups, and creating a multi-year plan that respected her emotional readiness. His holistic care transformed her outlook from one of loss to one of empowered choice.

During a routine pregnancy check-up at 34 weeks, Dr. Demirkıran detected subtle signs of vasa previa through Doppler ultrasound—a condition our previous scans had missed. He immediately admitted me to Acibadem Altunizade for monitoring and performed a planned C-section at 36 weeks, avoiding what could have been a catastrophic hemorrhage during labor. His vigilance saved our son's life before any emergency could occur.

As a 72-year-old retired ballet instructor, I thought my dancing days were permanently ended by crippling bunions and hammertoes. Dr. Sencer didn't just see a surgical case; she saw my history. Her innovative minimally invasive approach preserved my foot's architecture. Six months post-op, I can demonstrate pliés to my grandchildren without pain. She restored my ability to teach, not just walk.

As an 82-year-old with skin that's seen decades of Istanbul sun, I'd given up hope. My face was a roadmap of pre-cancerous lesions that other dermatologists called 'age-appropriate.' Dr. Erfan saw them differently. She spent an hour mapping every spot with a special light, explaining each one in Turkish so clear my grandchildren could understand. The cryotherapy was precise—no unnecessary treatment, just what was needed. Six months later at follow-up, she remembered every lesion's location without notes. She doesn't treat skin; she treats history.

Our 4-year-old developed a weeping rash that spread overnight. The ER pediatrician was stumped. At 10 PM, Dr. Erfan met us at Acibadem Altunizade, her calm presence immediately settling our panic. She diagnosed a rare contact dermatitis from a new playground mulch within minutes, but what amazed us was how she engaged our terrified daughter. She used a teddy bear to demonstrate the treatment, turning tears into giggles. The customized ointment formula (she adjusted base ingredients for sensitive child skin) cleared everything in 48 hours. This wasn't just medical care; it was pediatric magic.

What began as a 'simple mole check' revealed something terrifying: a rapidly changing lesion on my scalp. Dr. Erfan's tone shifted from routine to urgent with professional grace. Within 72 hours, she performed micrographic surgery at the hospital, explaining each layer removal with the focus of an artisan. The complexity wasn't just in the surgery—it was in the reconstruction on hair-bearing scalp. Now, 8 months later, you'd never know it was there. She called me personally with biopsy results instead of letting staff deliver them. In dermatology, millimeters matter; her margin of care is infinite.

I'm a chef whose hands are my livelihood. When dyshidrotic eczema made every shift agony, three dermatologists offered standard steroid protocols that would thin my skin permanently. Dr. Erfan created a different plan: daytime barrier creams resistant to kitchen fluids, nighttime treatments that actually healed, and a radical suggestion to change my glove brand. She tested six materials against my skin personally. The follow-up wasn't just 'how's the rash?'—she asked about my knife grip comfort and whether I could feel produce freshness through healing skin. She treated the chef, not just the hands.

My 8-year-old son, Leo, was born with severe clubfoot that previous treatments had only partially corrected. Dr. Sencer developed a multi-stage plan involving specialized casting, gentle tendon releases, and custom orthotics. She explained each step to Leo using dinosaur analogies. Today, he's playing soccer with his peers for the first time. Her pediatric-focused care changed his childhood trajectory.

During a mountain hiking expedition, I suffered a complex Lisfranc fracture-dislocation. Rushed to Acıbadem Altunizade, Dr. Sencer performed emergency reconstruction at midnight. What amazed me was her post-op protocol: a temporary external fixator that allowed for early, controlled movement to prevent stiffness. Her trauma expertise turned a potential lifelong disability into a full recovery.

I'm a 45-year-old chef with type 2 diabetes and a non-healing plantar ulcer. Dr. Sencer's approach was revolutionary—she collaborated with endocrinology and vascular surgery to improve my circulation first, then used advanced bio-engineered skin substitutes. She understood my profession required long hours standing. Her 'functional healing' philosophy got me back to my kitchen in record time.
