As a 78-year-old with a complex history of diabetes and unexplained weight loss, I was shuffled between departments until I met Dr. Canpolat. He didn't just look at my chart; he spent an hour asking about my daily habits, my garden, even my sleep patterns. He connected my symptoms to a medication interaction three other doctors missed. His approach wasn't just clinical—it was holistic. At Acibadem Bakırköy, he coordinated with my cardiologist himself. I've regained 5 kilos and my energy. He treats the person, not just the disease.
Our 8-year-old son developed a persistent high fever and a strange rash that baffled our pediatrician. In near-panic, we went to Acıbadem's emergency department at midnight. Dr. Alper Canpolat was the internal medicine specialist on call. He knelt to our son's eye level, examined him with a calm, gentle humor that made our boy laugh. He diagnosed a rare pediatric presentation of Kawasaki disease on the spot and initiated immediate treatment, explaining every step to us in clear, terrified-parent language. His swift action prevented cardiac complications. He was our midnight miracle.
I'm a 42-year-old software engineer who went in for what I thought was a routine 'executive checkup.' Dr. Canpolat reviewed my results and focused on a slight, persistent elevation in my liver enzymes that others had dismissed as 'stress-related.' He ordered a specific, non-routine ultrasound and discovered early-stage non-alcoholic fatty liver disease with fibrosis. No symptoms, but a real problem. His proactive, detective-like approach and his detailed lifestyle modification plan—not just a pamphlet, but a tailored program—likely prevented serious future illness. This wasn't a checkup; it was a life-course correction.
Following a complex abdominal surgery for Crohn's disease at another hospital, my recovery stalled with debilitating pain and fever. My surgeon was perplexed. I sought a second opinion with Dr. Canpolat. He meticulously reviewed my entire surgical file and post-op imaging, then identified a developing, deep-set intra-abdominal abscess that was being masked by my ongoing steroid therapy. He arranged for immediate image-guided drainage at Acıbadem Bakırköy and personally managed the tricky balance of infection control alongside my existing immunosuppression. For six weeks, he was my constant guide through a perilous post-op complication. His expertise in navigating the intersection of surgery and internal medicine saved me from a much worse outcome.

As a 68-year-old retired sailor with decades of sun exposure, I developed a rare, aggressive Merkel cell carcinoma on my ear. Dr. Aslan didn't just perform Mohs surgery; she coordinated with a prosthetic specialist to create a custom silicone reconstruction that looks completely natural. Her approach treated the whole person, not just the cancer.
My 8-year-old daughter developed severe, treatment-resistant atopic dermatitis that left her unable to sleep or attend school. After six specialists failed, Dr. Aslan discovered an unusual fungal co-infection through specialized testing. Her tailored regimen of targeted antifungals and microbiome-balancing treatments cleared her skin in three weeks—a miracle after two years of suffering.
During a business trip to Istanbul, I (42M) experienced a sudden, severe drug reaction causing toxic epidermal necrolysis—my skin was literally sloughing off. Rushed to Acıbadem Bakırköy, Dr. Aslan managed my care in the burn unit, using advanced amniotic membrane grafts to save 85% of my skin. Her round-the-clock monitoring prevented fatal sepsis.
As a professional violinist, the chronic hyperhidrosis in my hands threatened my career. Dr. Aslan performed a precise endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy after mapping my sweat patterns with iodine-starch tests. The minimally invasive procedure restored my ability to perform without compromising fine motor control—she understood my livelihood depended on it.
A last-minute business trip to Istanbul turned into a nightmare when I had a severe cutaneous adverse reaction to a new medication. In the ER at Acibadem, Dr. Bayraktar managed this acute emergency with incredible calm. Her rapid diagnosis of DRESS syndrome and coordination with internal medicine saved me from organ involvement. Her follow-up care via telemedicine when I returned to Norway was seamless.
We brought our newborn daughter to Dr. Bayraktar for a concerning vascular birthmark on her eyelid. Beyond the excellent pulsed dye laser treatment, Dr. Bayraktar's holistic approach included pediatric ophthalmology coordination to monitor vision and profound psychological support for us, the parents. She treated our anxiety as seriously as the hemangioma.
A 28-year-old competitive freediver from Bodrum presented with transient episodes of visual distortion and confusion during deep dives. Dr. Sifoğlu diagnosed a rare form of cortical spreading depression triggered by pressure changes, developing a personalized protocol involving gradual depth adaptation and prophylactic magnesium supplementation that allowed the patient to continue her sport safely.
A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master with essential tremor affecting his dominant hand sought help when his craft became impossible. Dr. Sifoğlu employed focused ultrasound thalamotomy after conventional medications failed, resulting in dramatic tremor reduction. The patient celebrated by creating a beautiful piece of Arabic calligraphy for the hospital's neurology department.
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr Memduha Merve Kinay's expertise. Highly recommend for dental surgery treatment.
