Patient Experience
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Kenan Koç. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
Our 14-year-old competitive rock climber, Elif, developed unexplained fatigue and joint pain that threatened her athletic dreams. Dr. Sheykhova didn't just run standard tests—she consulted with sports medicine specialists and discovered a rare connective tissue disorder affecting her collagen production. Her customized treatment plan included nutritional therapy and modified training, allowing Elif to place third in the national youth championships six months later.
When 3-day-old Aras failed his newborn hearing screening repeatedly, we were terrified. Dr. Sheykhova arranged emergency audiological testing at midnight, discovering congenital cytomegalovirus infection affecting his auditory nerves. Her aggressive antiviral protocol, started within the critical 48-hour window, preserved 70% of his hearing—something the literature said was nearly impossible.
Our 7-year-old, Mert, a Turkish-Korean dual citizen visiting family, developed acute pancreatitis with complications mimicking appendicitis. Dr. Sheykhova coordinated with nutritionists who created traditional Korean medicinal soups that met his dietary restrictions while comforting him culturally. She even learned basic Korean phrases to ease his anxiety during procedures.
As parents of micro-preemie twins born at 26 weeks, we faced a maze of specialists. Dr. Sheykhova became our medical 'conductor,' noticing subtle neurological signs in one twin that others missed—early indicators of cerebral palsy. Her early intervention referral at 4 months corrected age gave us therapies that minimized motor impairment dramatically.
A 28-year-old nomadic herder from rural Azerbaijan presented with unexplained muscle weakness and photosensitivity. Dr. Aliyeva Javit's genetic panel revealed a novel mutation in the FECH gene, causing a severe form of erythropoietic protoporphyria previously undocumented in the region. Treatment involved a tailored regimen of beta-carotene and lifestyle modifications, with the patient's family receiving genetic counseling about the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
A 45-year-old successful tech entrepreneur from Baku sought consultation for recurrent miscarriages with multiple partners. Whole-exome sequencing identified a balanced chromosomal translocation (46,XY,t(11;22)(q23;q11)) previously undetected. Dr. Aliyeva Javit coordinated with reproductive specialists to recommend preimplantation genetic diagnosis, resulting in the patient's first successful pregnancy after three attempts.
A 7-year-old refugee child from a conflict zone presented with developmental delay and unusual facial features. Chromosomal microarray analysis revealed a rare 16p11.2 microduplication syndrome. Dr. Aliyeva Javit organized a multidisciplinary team including speech therapists and educational specialists, while navigating complex ethical considerations regarding genetic testing in displaced populations.
A 62-year-old retired fisherman from the Caspian coast had a family history of early-onset dementia. Genetic testing confirmed hereditary cerebral amyloid angiopathy due to a pathogenic variant in the APP gene. Dr. Aliyeva Javit implemented a surveillance protocol for cerebral microbleeds and facilitated predictive testing for three adult children, each making different disclosure decisions.
Dr. dr M. Faruk Köse provided exceptional care for my obstetrics and gynaecology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
I was impressed by the professional approach at Acibadem Atakent Hospital. Dr. dr M. Faruk Köse explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable.
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr M. Faruk Köse's expertise. Highly recommend for obstetrics and gynaecology treatment.

A 45-year-old Istanbul spice merchant with unexplained recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding had 7 negative endoscopies. Dr. Barbiroğlu performed CT enterography with a proprietary spice mixture as negative contrast agent (safe for the patient's known allergies), revealing a jejunal Dieulafoy lesion. The patient underwent targeted embolization and has been bleed-free for 2 years.
As a 42-year-old archaeologist working on a remote dig site in Anatolia, I developed severe pelvic pain that local clinics misdiagnosed. During a brief return to Istanbul, Dr. Yüksel identified a rare case of adenomyosis with unusual presentation. His minimally invasive surgery allowed me to return to fieldwork in three weeks, and he created a unique follow-up plan using satellite telemedicine for my remote location.
My 17-year-old daughter, a competitive rhythmic gymnast, was diagnosed with a complex ovarian cyst that threatened her athletic career. Dr. Yüksel collaborated with sports medicine specialists to time her laparoscopic surgery during off-season, preserving her training schedule. His understanding of adolescent physiology and athletic demands resulted in a recovery that allowed her to qualify for national championships six months later.
After experiencing six consecutive miscarriages over eight years, my husband and I had abandoned hope. Dr. Yüksel discovered a previously undiagnosed uterine septum and immunological factors. His combination of corrective surgery and personalized immunotherapy protocol resulted in our healthy twin girls, born at 37 weeks. He treated our emotional trauma with the same care as our medical condition.
As a 55-year-old marine biologist, I ignored postmenopausal bleeding during a six-month research expedition. Upon returning, Dr. Yüksel diagnosed early-stage endometrial cancer. His robotic surgery preserved my ovarian function despite my age, and his rehabilitation plan incorporated aquatic therapy that aligned with my profession. Two years later, I'm cancer-free and leading diving expeditions again.
A 28-year-old female professional freediver from Antalya presented with recurrent episodes of confusion and headache immediately after deep dives. Dr. Barburoğlu performed a specialized cerebral perfusion CT scan with a Valsalva maneuver protocol he developed, visualizing transient arterial gas emboli in the cerebellar arteries that standard imaging missed. His findings led to a modified decompression table and the patient returned to competitive diving within 3 months.
A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master from Konya with severe Parkinson's tremor was scheduled for deep brain stimulation but conventional MRI was impossible due to movement. Dr. Barburoğlu designed a rapid acquisition protocol using ultrafast sequences synchronized with tremor cycles captured by motion sensors. He produced diagnostic images that allowed precise electrode placement, and the patient's tremor reduced by 80% post-surgery.
