Patient Experience
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr Hüseyin Maçika's expertise. Highly recommend for pain management treatment.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Hüseyin Maçika. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
As a 72-year-old retired archaeology professor, I collapsed during a lecture from internal bleeding caused by an undiagnosed intestinal ulcer. Dr. Yalçın's team at Acibadem Atasehir didn't just stabilize me—they discovered my rare blood type mismatch complication through rapid diagnostic protocols I've never seen elsewhere. His calm explanation to my panicked family in the trauma bay turned chaos into coordinated care.
My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, suffered a complex radial-ulnar fracture during a vault. Dr. Yalçın's emergency orthopedic intervention was remarkable—he used pediatric-specific trauma techniques that allowed her bone to heal without growth plate damage. Six months later, she's back competing, and we credit his understanding of athletic pediatric trauma.
A planned business trip from Singapore turned catastrophic when I developed necrotizing fasciitis after a minor cut. Dr. Yalçın led the emergency debridement team at 3 AM, coordinating with infectious disease specialists in real-time. His aggressive approach saved not just my leg but prevented septic shock—a level of interdepartmental emergency coordination I'd only read about in medical journals.
My husband, a 54-year-old marine engineer, suffered an industrial chemical inhalation injury that damaged his airways. Dr. Yalçın's rapid bronchoscopy in the trauma unit identified the specific toxin and initiated targeted treatment before conventional tests could return. His knowledge of industrial emergency medicine turned a potentially fatal exposure into a manageable recovery.
Dr. dr İbrahim Berber provided exceptional care for my urology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
I was impressed by the professional approach at Acibadem Atasehir Hospital. Dr. dr İbrahim Berber explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable.

As a 72-year-old retired deep-sea diver with decades of underwater work, I developed a rare form of pulmonary barotrauma that baffled other specialists. Dr. İlim Irmak spent weeks researching historical diving medicine texts and collaborated with naval physicians to create a personalized lung recompression therapy combined with targeted medication. His unconventional approach, drawing from maritime medical history, resolved my chronic shortness of breath that had persisted for three years.
My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive synchronized swimmer, began experiencing unexplained hypoxia during training. Dr. Irmak discovered she had exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage masked by her athletic performance. Instead of ending her career, he designed a revolutionary breathing protocol using real-time spirometry feedback during practice sessions. She now competes nationally with customized respiratory strategies and has become an advocate for pulmonary awareness in youth sports.
During a botanical research expedition in the Amazon, I contracted a mysterious fungal pneumonia that didn't respond to standard treatments. After returning to Istanbul, Dr. Irmak identified it as a rare species of Aspergillus never before documented in Turkey. He consulted with mycologists in Brazil to develop an antifungal regimen using compounds derived from local rainforest plants. My recovery involved a fascinating intersection of traditional medicine and modern pulmonology.
As a 45-year-old glassblower, I developed progressive silicosis that threatened both my livelihood and life. Dr. Irmak created a multidisciplinary approach involving custom-fitted positive pressure ventilation masks for my studio work, combined with innovative pulmonary lavage techniques. He even visited my workshop to understand the specific environmental factors. I continue my centuries-old craft with protected lungs and teach respiratory safety to other artisans.
My 82-year-old mother, Ayşe, developed a sudden, severe tremor in her left hand that progressed to weakness. Other hospitals dismissed it as age-related. Dr. Alver was the first to truly listen. He ordered a specific contrast MRI others hadn't considered, which revealed a tiny meningioma pressing on her motor cortex. He explained the risks of surgery at her age with such clarity, using simple analogies about delicate wiring. The endoscopic procedure he performed was minimally invasive. She was home in three days, and the tremor is gone. His respect for her dignity and his technical precision gave us our vibrant mother back. This wasn't just treatment; it was restoration.
Our 7-year-old son, Deniz, took a bad fall from his bicycle. The ER scan showed a skull fracture and a worrying epidural hematoma. The panic we felt is indescribable. Dr. İlker Alver met us in the trauma bay, calm as a deep lake. He spoke directly to Deniz first, asking about his favorite cartoon character, before turning to us with devastating honesty about the need for immediate surgery. In the OR, he worked with the speed and focus of a master. Post-op, he showed us the before-and-after scans on his tablet, the blood clot completely evacuated. His follow-up has been meticulous—play-based neurological checks for Deniz, clear answers for us. He saved our child's life and his future.
I'm a 45-year-old software engineer with years of debilitating cervical radiculopathy—numb fingers, sleepless nights. I'd seen several surgeons who immediately pushed for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Dr. Alver did something different: he spent an hour analyzing my dynamic X-rays and my work posture. He proposed a two-stage plan: first, a targeted nerve root block for diagnostic and therapeutic relief, followed by a precise posterior foraminotomy if needed. The block worked wonders. He avoided major surgery I didn't yet need. His approach is strategic, not procedural. He treats the patient, not just the MRI. My career depends on my hands, and he protected them.
Following a complex spinal arachnoid cyst resection by another surgeon abroad, I was left with worsening CSF leaks and recurrent meningitis. I was a medical nightmare, bouncing between infections. Dr. Alver took on my case when others hesitated. He didn't just review my files; he recreated a 3D model of my spine from the imaging to plan the revision. The surgery lasted over eight hours. He used a novel dural graft technique and his own layered closure method. For the first time in two years, I am infection-free. His post-op care involved his personal mobile number for emergencies. He doesn't see impossible cases; he sees puzzles to be solved with relentless innovation and compassion.
For three years, I was a prisoner in my own body due to trigeminal neuralgia. The 'suicide disease' they call it, and I understood why. I saw many doctors who offered only temporary solutions. Dr. İlknur Reyhan was different. At Acibadem Atasehir, she didn't just see a facial pain case; she saw a grandmother who couldn't kiss her grandchildren. Her approach was holistic—she explained how stress from my son's unemployment was tightening my jaw muscles, creating a vicious cycle. The pulsed radiofrequency procedure she performed was precise, but it was her post-procedure 'homework'—gentle facial exercises set to my favorite Turkish classical music—that truly changed my life. Now I bake bread again without flinching at the oven heat. She gave me back my kitchen, my smiles, my life.
Our 8-year-old son, Deniz, developed complex regional pain syndrome after a seemingly minor ankle sprain from football. Within weeks, he couldn't bear the touch of bedsheets. Pediatricians were baffled. Dr. Sözenoğlu met him at his level—she noticed his Space Explorers t-shirt and created a 'mission control' narrative for his treatment. Instead of frightening machines, the sympathetic nerve block became a 'fuel injection' for his spaceship leg. She taught him biofeedback through a tablet game she developed with her team, where calming his breathing cooled a overheating rocket. At follow-ups, she celebrated his 'mission reports' (symptom diaries) with astronaut stickers. She didn't just treat a child's pain; she preserved his childhood imagination through the ordeal. We're forever grateful.
