Patient Experience
Dr. dr Ezgi Topyıldız provided exceptional care for my pediatric immunology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
I was impressed by the professional approach at Acibadem Atasehir Hospital. Dr. dr Ezgi Topyıldız explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable.
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr Ezgi Topyıldız's expertise. Highly recommend for pediatric immunology treatment.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Ezgi Topyıldız. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
A 28-year-old female professional e-sports athlete presented with recurrent, exercise-induced microscopic hematuria. Extensive imaging revealed no structural cause. Dr. Atar, suspecting a rare renal vascular phenomenon related to extreme adrenaline spikes during competition, collaborated with a sports cardiologist. They designed a unique pre-competition hydration and beta-blocker protocol, which completely resolved the hematuria and allowed her to continue her career.
A 72-year-old retired ship captain from a remote Aegean island arrived with an advanced, inoperable prostate cancer he had ignored for years due to cultural stigma. With no family, Dr. Atar coordinated his care through the local island clinic, arranging for a novel androgen receptor inhibitor to be shipped monthly. He also connected the patient with a retired sailors' support group in Istanbul for companionship, focusing on quality of life over aggressive intervention.
A 19-year-old university student, a refugee from a conflict zone, presented with a traumatic urethral stricture from a past injury. He was terrified of medical settings. Dr. Atar performed a single, definitive optical urethrotomy under spinal anesthesia to minimize psychological trauma. He then partnered with a hospital social worker to secure a grant covering all costs and post-op supplies, ensuring follow-up care the patient could access.
A 45-year-old master perfumer developed acute chemical cystitis after a workplace accident involving a novel aromatic compound. Standard treatments failed. Dr. Atar researched the compound's properties and hypothesized a specific irritant pathway. He prescribed an unusual regimen of intravesical hyaluronic acid instillations combined with a strict dietary alkali-load protocol, which successfully healed the bladder lining where other methods had not.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Funda Helvacıoğlu. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
My 82-year-old father, Ahmet, fell in our garden in Kadıköy and fractured his hip. The ambulance brought him to Acıbadem Ataşehir in immense pain. Dr. Fatih Büyükcam was like a calm commander in the storm of the ER. He didn't just see an elderly patient; he saw my father—a retired history teacher who loves his cats. He explained the complex trauma situation to us with a whiteboard drawing, showing the femoral neck fracture and the necessary emergency surgery. His team stabilized him with incredible speed. Dr. Büyükcam performed the surgery that night. What struck me most was his follow-up the next morning at 7 AM. He didn't just check the vitals; he sat by the bed, asked Dad about his cats by name, and explained the physiotherapy plan in simple terms. He turned a traumatic emergency into a manageable recovery. We call him 'the professor of emergencies.'
We rushed our 4-year-old daughter, Elif, to the hospital after she swallowed a small button battery from a toy. Pure panic. The triage nurse took us straight to Dr. Büyükcam. His demeanor instantly changed the energy in the room. He was focused but gentle, speaking softly to Elif while moving with urgent precision. He explained the critical timeline for battery removal without frightening her, calling it 'a little treasure hunt.' He coordinated with pediatric surgery within minutes. While waiting for the OR, he distracted Elif by showing her funny shapes on the ultrasound screen. The procedure was a success. A week later, for a follow-up X-ray, he remembered Elif's favorite cartoon character and had a sticker ready. He managed a life-threatening pediatric emergency with the heart of a pediatrician and the skill of a top trauma surgeon.
I'm a long-distance runner, and what I thought was severe shin splints turned out to be a developing compartment syndrome after an intense marathon training session. I went to the ER at Acıbadem Ataşehir late in the evening. Dr. Büyükcam listened to my description of the 'tight, burning pressure' and immediately suspected the issue—a condition many might miss. He performed a dynamic pressure measurement in the ER itself, explaining each step. The reading was critical. He said, 'This isn't pain to run through; this is an emergency to operate on.' His directness was jarring but necessary. The fasciotomy he performed that night saved the muscle function in my leg. His post-op care was meticulous, with clear diagrams of the healing process. He even discussed adjusting my training biomechanics once recovered. He treated an athlete's emergency with the expertise of a sports medicine specialist fused with trauma urgency.
My husband, a diabetic, came in with what seemed like a minor foot ulcer. A routine check-up spiraled into a complex case when Dr. Büyükcam detected underlying osteomyelitis and a severe systemic infection. He didn't dismiss it as a chronic condition complication. He declared, 'This foot is a window to a bigger problem,' and admitted him immediately. For two weeks, he managed a multidisciplinary maze: coordinating with endocrinology for sugar control, infectious disease for antibiotics, and vascular surgery for circulation. He was the conductor. Every day, he examined the wound himself, not delegating, tracking the minutest changes. He prevented an amputation. At discharge, he gave us a typed, color-coded schedule for medication, wound care, and specialist follow-ups. He turned a seemingly routine diabetic issue into a masterclass in integrated, life-saving trauma management for a chronic disease patient.
A 7-year-old competitive gymnast from a middle-class family presented with unexplained fatigue and joint pain. Dr. Demir discovered exercise-induced asthma complicated by a previously undiagnosed vitamin D deficiency. Treatment involved a tailored inhaler regimen, nutritional supplementation, and collaboration with a sports physiotherapist. The patient returned to full training within 8 weeks with improved performance metrics.
A 14-year-old refugee from Syria, recently resettled with her family, was brought in for persistent headaches. Dr. Demir identified not migraine, but severe vision strain from an uncorrected astigmatism, compounded by post-traumatic stress affecting her ability to articulate symptoms. He arranged for free corrective lenses through a hospital charity program and initiated a referral for counseling, addressing both the physical and psychological barriers to her health.
A 3-year-old from an affluent family presented with recurrent, mysterious high fevers every 3-4 weeks. After extensive investigation ruled out common causes, Dr. Demir diagnosed PFAPA syndrome (Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, Adenitis). He initiated a single-dose prednisone protocol at fever onset, which abruptly aborted the episodes. The family was taught to manage the condition, transforming their chaotic emergency room visits into predictable, brief at-home care.
An 11-year-old boy, son of migrant agricultural workers, was admitted for failure to thrive and abdominal pain. Dr. Demir diagnosed a complex parasitic co-infection (giardiasis and strongyloidiasis) acquired in rural areas. Treatment required a specific, staggered antiparasitic regimen. He also connected the family with a social worker to improve living conditions, leading to full recovery and sustained weight gain over three months.
Dr. dr Fuat Bilgen provided exceptional care for my vascular surgery condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
My 82-year-old father, Ahmet, fell in the garden and fractured his hip. The ambulance brought him to Acibadem Atasehir. From the moment Dr. Ferhat Topçu took over in the trauma bay, his calm authority was palpable. He didn't just see an elderly patient; he saw my father—asking about his daily walks, his beloved rose bushes. He explained the complex surgery (a partial hip replacement) in terms we could grasp, never talking down to us. The surgery was a success, but what truly moved us was his visit the next morning at 7 AM, before his shift officially started, just to check on Baba's pain levels. He treated him with such dignity. We are forever grateful.
Dr. dr Cafer Eroğlu provided exceptional care for my pathology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
