Acibadem Atakent Hospital Reviews

I'm an 82-year-old retired teacher who had completely lost my sense of smell for three years. Multiple doctors told me it was just aging. Dr. Edizer was different. He spent 45 minutes asking about my gardening, my cooking, even what my late husband's cologne smelled like. He discovered a complex nasal polyp structure through advanced imaging others hadn't ordered. After his meticulous endoscopic surgery, I woke up to the scent of hospital disinfectant and cried—it was beautiful. He calls me every month to ask what new smells I've discovered. Last week, I smelled rain on dry earth for the first time in years.

Our 4-year-old daughter had recurrent ear infections that made her miserable. We'd seen three ENTs who just prescribed antibiotics. Dr. Edizer got on the floor with her toy dinosaurs before even examining her. He explained to HER (in dinosaur terms) about 'ear caves getting swampy.' His patience was incredible—he used a tiny camera she could watch on screen. We opted for tubes, and the procedure felt like a celebration—he had dinosaur stickers on his instruments. At follow-up, she brought him a drawing of 'Dr. Dino fixing ears.' He framed it in his office. Life-changing approach to pediatric care.

I arrived at Acibadem Atakent at midnight with a fishbone lodged in my throat after a disastrous dinner. The emergency ENT on call was Dr. Edizer. What could have been a simple extraction became complex when the bone had perforated near a blood vessel. Instead of rushing, he calmly showed me the imaging, explained the vascular anatomy in clear terms, and performed what he called 'micro-surgical retrieval' under local anesthesia. He sang Turkish folk songs softly during the procedure to keep me calm. At 3 AM, he was calling a colleague to consult on the closure technique. The follow-up care included personalized dietary plans based on my cooking habits. Emergency medicine with an artist's precision.

As a 30-year-old professional singer, I noticed subtle vocal fatigue. Dr. Edizer didn't just look at my vocal cords—he analyzed my breathing patterns, my posture on stage, even my hydration habits. He collaborated with my voice coach remotely, designing a unique regimen involving specific humidification techniques and vocal exercises based on my repertoire. During the stroboscopy, he had me sing scales from my upcoming performance. His diagnosis: early vascular changes from improper breath support. His treatment prevented what could have been career-ending damage. He now consults with our theater company—a doctor who understands that for some patients, their instrument is their life.

As a 72-year-old retired botanist with a lifelong history of sun exposure, I developed a suspicious lesion on my ear. Dr. Özkaya didn't just perform a biopsy; she mapped my entire scalp with a dermatoscope, discovering two other precancerous spots I'd missed. Her 'sun damage portfolio' approach—where she documented and monitored all my high-risk areas—turned a simple checkup into a comprehensive, lifelong prevention strategy that felt profoundly personalized.

My 8-year-old daughter developed severe, treatment-resistant eczema that left her unable to sleep or focus in school. After five other dermatologists, Dr. Özkaya proposed an unconventional theory: a cross-reaction to her pet parrot's dander. She designed a gradual desensitization protocol alongside barrier repair, using our bird as part of the therapy. Within months, my child's skin cleared, and she now teaches her classmates about 'allergy science'—a complete transformation from a miserable patient to a confident little advocate.

I'm a 31-year-old professional violinist who developed painful psoriatic plaques on my fingertips, threatening my career. Dr. Özkaya, understanding the precise pressure and friction points of my instrument, collaborated with a prosthetics specialist to create custom, breathable fingertip shields. She timed my biologic injections around my concert schedule. She didn't just treat my skin; she preserved my life's work with meticulous, creative problem-solving.

During a routine skin check, Dr. Özkaya noticed a subtle pattern of bruising on my 45-year-old wife's legs that others had dismissed. She insisted on blood work, which revealed a rare platelet disorder unrelated to dermatology. Her vigilance in seeing the 'whole patient' led to a hematology referral and early treatment that potentially averted a crisis. She practices medicine with a detective's eye for detail that transcends her specialty.

As a 24-year-old competitive freediver, I suffered a severe shallow water blackout during training. Dr. Özdemir managed my complex cerebral hypoxia and pulmonary edema with a revolutionary targeted hypothermia protocol I'd never heard of before. His team monitored my neurological recovery minute-by-minute. I'm not just alive—I'm back diving at 90% capacity, something three other specialists said was impossible.

My 8-year-old daughter contracted a mysterious post-viral syndrome that caused autonomic storming—her blood pressure and heart rate would spike dangerously without warning. Dr. Özdemir didn't just stabilize her; he identified a rare cytokine pattern others missed and designed a bespoke immunotherapy regimen. He explained everything to her using puppet demonstrations. She now calls him 'the doctor who fixed my wires.'

I'm a 67-year-old watchmaker who developed septic shock after what seemed like routine dental work. Dr. Özdemir noticed my hands trembling slightly before anyone else—an early sign of neurological involvement. His preemptive spinal tap confirmed bacterial meningitis. His precision in antibiotic timing and cerebral perfusion management saved both my life and the fine motor skills essential to my craft.

Our family's story is different: we never met Dr. Özdemir as patients. My husband was an organ donor after a sudden brain hemorrhage. Dr. Özdemir managed his critical care with such meticulous physiological preservation that six organs were successfully transplanted. He personally explained how my husband's legacy would save multiple lives. That dignity in our darkest hour changed how we view medicine forever.

My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Elif Ganime Aygün. The hospital staff was also very supportive.

As a 42-year-old archaeologist working in remote Anatolia, I discovered I was pregnant with unexpected twins during a rare site visit. Dr. Kahraman coordinated a complex care plan via satellite phone initially, then managed my high-risk pregnancy with innovative monitoring that allowed me to continue my fieldwork safely until the final month. His understanding of my unconventional lifestyle while ensuring medical rigor resulted in the healthy delivery of my daughters via planned C-section at Acibadem Atakent.

My 17-year-old daughter developed sudden severe pelvic pain during her national ballet competition preparation. Dr. Kahraman diagnosed a rapidly twisting ovarian dermoid cyst that required immediate surgery. What impressed us most was how he involved my daughter in every decision, explaining medical terms through ballet metaphors, and his surgical precision preserved her ovarian tissue completely. She returned to competition within three months, a recovery her coaches called miraculous.

After four miscarriages across three countries, my husband and I arrived at Dr. Kahraman's clinic as our last hope. He discovered a previously undiagnosed unicornuate uterus with a non-communicating horn. Instead of standard treatments, he pioneered a custom laparoscopic approach to remove the problematic tissue while preserving function. I'm now holding my sleeping son, born at 38 weeks through the vaginal delivery Dr. Kahraman made possible against all predictions.

During my routine checkup at 34 weeks, Dr. Kahraman noticed subtle changes in my baby's movement patterns others had dismissed. He ordered immediate advanced monitoring and discovered a rare velamentous cord insertion with vasa previa. His team performed an emergency C-section within hours, saving my daughter who had begun bleeding internally. His attentiveness to what he called 'the patient's intuitive concerns' made the difference between tragedy and joy.

A 28-year-old female professional freediver from Montenegro presented with debilitating migraines after deep dives. Dr. Agolli discovered a rare, tiny arteriovenous fistula in her occipital region, likely exacerbated by pressure changes. Using ultra-fine microcatheters, he performed a delicate transvenous embolization. The patient made a full recovery and returned to competitive freediving within three months, now using modified ascent protocols.

A 72-year-old retired shipyard welder from Piraeus, Greece, with severe COPD and a complex history of asbestos exposure, developed a massive hemothorax from a ruptured intercostal artery aneurysm. Too frail for surgery, Dr. Agolli performed an emergency CT-guided embolization via a collateral arterial network, a technically demanding approach. The bleeding stopped, but the patient's respiratory status remained fragile, requiring permanent oxygen therapy.

Dr. dr Mustafa Sungur provided exceptional care for my orthopedics condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
