Acibadem Altunizade Hospital Reviews

The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr Hande Simten Demirel Kaya's expertise. Highly recommend for critical care treatment.

My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Hande Simten Demirel Kaya. The hospital staff was also very supportive.

A 42-year-old Turkish-Cypriot ceramic artist, Elif, presented with unexplained secondary infertility after a successful pregnancy 8 years prior. Dr. Öztürk discovered a rare case of Asherman's syndrome caused by a forgotten postpartum infection. Using hysteroscopic adhesiolysis and a novel intrauterine balloon stent coated with estrogen gel she developed with the hospital's research unit, Elif conceived naturally within 6 months and delivered a healthy girl at 37 weeks.

17-year-old high school swim champion, Deniz, arrived with her coach, concerned about primary amenorrhea and pelvic pain during training. Dr. Öztürk diagnosed Müllerian agenesis (MRKH syndrome). She coordinated a multidisciplinary team including a psychologist and a physiotherapist to create a long-term care plan focused on Deniz's athletic goals and future reproductive options, including vaginal dilation therapy, fostering immense trust with the shy teenager.

A 55-year-old former ballet dancer from Bulgaria, Milena, sought help for severe pelvic organ prolapse that hindered her ability to teach dance. Dr. Öztürk performed a robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy, utilizing her expertise in minimally invasive surgery. The precise technique allowed Milena an exceptionally quick recovery; she was demonstrating basic positions to her students within 5 weeks, calling it 'a restoration of her foundation.'

38-year-old Syrian refugee, Amal, presented at 32 weeks gestation with undiagnosed complete placenta previa and a history of two prior C-sections (placenta accreta spectrum was suspected). Dr. Öztürk led a complex, planned multidisciplinary delivery involving interventional radiology for preoperative uterine artery embolization. The successful surgery prevented hemorrhage, saved Amal's uterus, and her baby boy required only brief NICU care for prematurity.

After a decade of unexplained facial neuralgia that felt like electric shocks, countless specialists had given up. Dr. Güneyli at Acibadem Altunizade was my last resort. He didn't just review my MRI; he spent an hour mapping my pain triggers with a feather-light touch, asking about weather changes and stress patterns. His diagnosis of a compressed trigeminal nerve branch was precise. The pulsed radiofrequency ablation he performed was minimally invasive, and for the first time in years, I can wash my face without screaming. His approach wasn't just clinical; it was deeply investigative and compassionate.

My 8-year-old son developed complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in his foot after a minor sprain—a nightmare for any parent. Pediatric pain specialists were scarce. Dr. Güneyli created a whole fantasy narrative for him, calling the pain 'misbehaving sparks' and the treatment 'calming magic.' He used a combination of gentle nerve blocks and guided imagery in a way that felt like play. He coordinated with a child psychologist without us even asking. The transformation was miraculous. He treated my son, not just a chart, and gave us our happy, running boy back.

As a 78-year-old with severe spinal stenosis, I was told major open surgery was my only option—a terrifying prospect. Dr. Güneyli proposed a staged, minimally invasive procedure he called 'targeted decompression.' Over three sessions at Acibadem Altunizade, he used specialized endoscopic tools to relieve pressure on specific nerve roots. He explained each step with sketches, using simple analogies like 'clearing debris from a garden hose.' The recovery was gradual but steady. I'm now gardening again, pain-free, without the trauma of a major operation. His innovative, stepwise approach saved my mobility and my spirit.

I arrived as an emergency referral after a botched lumbar injection elsewhere left me with searing sciatica and foot drop. Panicked and in agony, I expected a rushed assessment. Instead, Dr. Güneyli conducted a methodical neurological exam in the emergency suite, then calmly explained the likely inflammatory crisis on the nerve root. He arranged an immediate MRI and, within hours, performed an urgent epidural neuroplasty—a procedure to free the scarred nerve. His calm authority in the crisis was astounding. The relief was not instant, but his clear follow-up plan over the next six weeks restored function I feared was lost forever. He turned a medical disaster into a managed recovery.

As a 72-year-old retired glassblower, my decades of silica dust exposure left me with debilitating silicosis. Dr. Coşgün didn't just treat my lungs; she connected my craft history to my symptoms in ways previous specialists missed. Her custom pulmonary rehabilitation incorporated breathing techniques adapted from glassblowing rhythms, allowing me to maintain my beloved hobby safely. Six months later, my lung capacity improved by 30%—something I'd been told was impossible.

Our 8-year-old daughter, a competitive synchronized swimmer, began experiencing mysterious breath-holding episodes underwater. Multiple doctors dismissed it as anxiety until Dr. Coşgün identified exercise-induced bronchoconstriction triggered by pool chemicals. She designed a unique pre-swim breathing protocol and collaborated with the sports federation to adjust her training environment. Now she's back in the pool, medal-winning, with a personalized asthma action plan no pediatric pulmonologist had considered.

During my 28th week of pregnancy, I developed sudden respiratory failure from amniotic fluid embolism—a rare, life-threatening condition. Dr. Coşgün coordinated an emergency multidisciplinary team at 3 AM, balancing my oxygen needs with fetal safety. She pioneered a modified ECMO approach that saved us both. My daughter and I owe our lives to her swift, unconventional thinking when standard protocols would have failed.

As a 54-year-old wildlife photographer, I contracted histoplasmosis from bat guano in remote caves. Dr. Coşgün recognized the fungal infection from my travel photos when lab tests were inconclusive. She treated not just the infection but also designed a 'field breathing kit' with portable oxygen concentrators, allowing me to return to conservation work in Mongolia while recovering. Her approach treated my profession as part of the healing.

Dr. dr İlkay Değerli provided exceptional care for my pediatrics condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.

As a 72-year-old retired maritime historian with an obscure penicillin allergy variant, I'd been misdiagnosed for years with recurring infections. Dr. Haji spent three consultations cross-referencing my old ship logs from the 1970s with symptom patterns, discovering my condition was actually triggered by specific marine mold exposures from my archival work. His unconventional investigative approach solved a decade-long mystery.

My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive junior chess player, developed unexplained fatigue during tournaments. Other doctors dismissed it as performance anxiety. Dr. Haji noticed her symptoms correlated with specific venues and investigated environmental factors, discovering a rare sensitivity to tournament hall cleaning chemicals. His willingness to consider non-traditional triggers changed her life.

During Istanbul's unprecedented heatwave, my 91-year-old grandmother with complex polypharmacy developed paradoxical symptoms. Dr. Haji created a 72-hour micro-climate adaptation plan, adjusting medication timing by mere hours relative to temperature peaks. This precision intervention prevented hospitalization when emergency rooms were overwhelmed.

As a 34-year-old professional perfume nose, I lost my sense of smell suddenly. ENT specialists found nothing. Dr. Haji connected it to a forgotten childhood condition and a new supplement I'd taken. His cross-disciplinary knowledge spanning decades of medical literature restored my livelihood in weeks.

My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr İlkay Kisa Özdemir. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
