Patient Experience
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr Meltem Doğan's expertise. Highly recommend for ent treatment.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Meltem Doğan. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
As a 72-year-old retired opera singer, I feared my performing days were over when a persistent vocal tremor developed. Dr. Toprak diagnosed a rare neuromuscular laryngeal condition. His planned microsurgery was so precise that after recovery, I not only regained clear speech but hit a high C I hadn't reached in a decade. He saved my voice and my passion.
My 8-year-old son, Leo, had a mysterious limp that appeared overnight. We were terrified it could be something serious. Dr. Murat Sarıkaş at Acibadem Fulya didn't just examine him—he got down on the floor, played with a toy car to make Leo laugh, and discovered a rare, painless subluxation in his hip during the distraction. His approach was pure magic. No scary tests, just gentle manipulation that fixed it in minutes. He explained it to Leo using a 'wobbly wheel' analogy. We left with a happy, running child and a doctor who treats the whole person, not just the X-ray.
As a 72-year-old retired carpenter with hands ruined by decades of work, I'd accepted constant pain as my fate. My daughter dragged me to Dr. Sarıkaş for a 'routine checkup.' He spent an hour just listening to stories about my craft, examining how I used to hold my tools. He didn't push surgery. Instead, he designed a unique, phased plan: custom splints, targeted injections, and exercises to preserve what mobility I had left. 'Your hands have stories; let's help them tell a few more,' he said. For the first time in years, I can hold my granddaughter's hand without wincing. This wasn't medicine; it was restoration.
I'm a professional volleyball player. A complex, multi-ligament knee injury during a match threatened to end my career. The ER referred me for emergency consultation. Dr. Sarıkaş met me at Acibadem Fulya at 10 PM, his calm demeanor instantly cutting through my panic. He presented three surgical options with 3D models, explaining the trade-offs between fastest recovery and long-term stability for an athlete. He chose an innovative, less common reconstruction technique tailored for explosive lateral movement. The surgery was flawless, but his true genius was the aggressive, psychology-informed rehab protocol. He texted me before key training milestones. I'm back on the court, not just healed, but stronger. He saved my livelihood.
My follow-up visit was for a seemingly simple wrist fracture, but it became something profound. I'd had the cast removed elsewhere and was told 'all good.' Dr. Sarıkaş, reviewing the file, noticed a microscopic alignment issue on the old scan that others missed. 'It will heal, but it may ache in 20 years when you're gardening,' he explained. He offered a minor, precise corrective procedure most wouldn't bother with. What struck me was his temporal thinking—treating my future 70-year-old self as his patient today. The procedure was quick, but the philosophy was immense. He practices orthopedics with a rare blend of eagle-eyed detail and deep humanity.
I'm a 78-year-old retired watchmaker, and my world was literally going dark. My previous doctor said my cataracts were 'too dense and risky' due to my advanced age and a childhood eye injury. Dr. Saylık didn't see a problem, he saw a puzzle. He spent an hour with a detailed model explaining how he'd navigate around the old scar tissue. The surgery felt like watching a master craftsman restore a precious antique—precise, calm, and with immense respect for the material. When the bandage came off, I could see the individual leaves on the trees outside Fulya Hospital for the first time in a decade. He gave me back my ability to see the tiny gears in my clocks. That's not just vision; that's my life returned.
Our 8-year-old daughter, Elif, developed a sudden, severe squint overnight after a fever. Panicked, we rushed to Acıbadem Fulya. Dr. Murat wasn't just a doctor that day; he was a magician for a terrified child. He diagnosed a rare post-viral nerve palsy. Instead of scary instruments, he used a puppet with googly eyes to show her what was happening. His examination was a game. The treatment plan was explained to her first, in simple terms, before he spoke to us. Within three weeks of his non-surgical management, her eyes were perfectly aligned again. He treated the child, not just the condition, with a kindness that dissolved our fear.
I'm a graphic designer in my 40s, and a routine pressure check revealed silent, advanced glaucoma. Dr. Saylık's approach was unlike any consult I've had. He didn't just give a diagnosis; he gave a data-driven strategy. Using ultra-widefield imaging and daily pressure curve analysis, he mapped my eye like a terrain. He explained my 'ocular biomechanics' and designed a personalized sequence of selective laser trabeculoplasty and micro-dosing of drops. My follow-ups feel like mission control check-ins—reviewing metrics, adjusting tactics. He turned a scary chronic disease into a manageable engineering project. My vision field has stabilized. He's not just preserving my sight; he's safeguarding my career.
A metal shard flew into my eye at a construction site. The ER referred me directly to Dr. Saylık. What I remember most was the surreal calm in his emergency procedure room. Through the pain, I heard his voice, steady and clear, narrating each step as he removed the foreign body: 'Now irrigating... now applying the shield.' It felt controlled, not rushed. The next day, he showed me the anterior segment OCT scan, pointing out how the object missed the lens by a fraction of a millimeter. His post-op care was meticulous—specific instructions on drop timing and even recommended a particular type of sunglasses for the healing phase. He turned a traumatic accident into a textbook example of expert, compassionate emergency care.
Our 8-year-old daughter, a competitive swimmer, kept getting severe ear infections that antibiotics couldn't resolve. Dr. Toprak discovered an unusual anatomical variation in her Eustachian tubes exacerbated by pool water. His custom ventilation tube procedure and preventive regimen allowed her to return to the pool championship-bound, infection-free for over a year now.
During a business trip to Istanbul, I (42M) experienced sudden, complete hearing loss in one ear. At Acibadem Fulya's ER, Dr. Toprak identified it as idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and began aggressive steroid treatment within the critical 48-hour window. His emergency protocol restored 90% of my hearing—a outcome he called 'exceptional' but we call 'miraculous'.
My 19-year-old son, born with Treacher Collins syndrome, had undergone multiple ENT surgeries abroad with mixed results. Dr. Toprak reviewed his complex case and proposed a novel staged reconstruction combining airway management with cosmetic auditory canal surgery. The outcome dramatically improved both his breathing and hearing, and for the first time, he feels confident without his hearing aid headband.
Dr. dr Mustafa Kemal Gürsel provided exceptional care for my ent condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.

A 58-year-old retired deep-sea fisherman from the Black Sea coast presented with severe vitamin D deficiency and persistent joint pain, despite living near water. Dr. Çelik discovered his traditional diet of mostly preserved fish and minimal sunlight exposure due to long night fishing shifts had created a paradoxical nutritional deficit. She designed a plan incorporating specific local mushrooms and timed sun exposure around his circadian rhythm, resolving his pain within 8 weeks without supplements.
A 7-year-old competitive rhythmic gymnast was brought in by her anxious parents for failure to gain weight. Dr. Çelik identified not inadequate intake, but a meticulously timed 'performance diet' that conflicted with her growth spurts. She collaborated with the coach to create a flexible nutrition schedule that aligned training peaks with growth phases, resulting in healthy weight gain while maintaining competition readiness.
