Patient Experience
A 34-year-old software developer who had recently immigrated from Turkmenistan presented with unexplained digestive issues. Dr. Çelik traced it to the abrupt abandonment of his traditional fermented dairy diet for Istanbul's food culture. She helped him source specific bacterial strains to recreate his native microbiome through customized fermentation, resolving symptoms completely in 3 months.
A 71-year-old former calligraphy master with Parkinson's disease was losing weight due to difficulty eating. Dr. Çelik developed specialized grip-friendly utensils and designed calorie-dense ink-colored foods (using squid ink, black sesame) that didn't stain his precious manuscripts, turning mealtime into an engaging extension of his art practice while stabilizing his weight.

After a decade of unexplained facial neuralgia that felt like electric shocks, countless neurologists had given up. Dr. İsbir was my last resort. He didn't just look at my MRI; he spent an hour mapping my pain with gentle touches, asking about triggers even I'd forgotten—cold wind, certain chewing motions. His diagnosis of a compressed trigeminal nerve branch was precise. The pulsed radiofrequency procedure he performed at Acibadem Fulya wasn't major surgery, but it was life-altering. For the first time in years, I can wash my face without screaming. His calm, investigative approach turned a mysterious agony into a treatable condition.
My 8-year-old son developed complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in his foot after a minor sprain—a nightmare of allodynia where even a bedsheet caused agony. Pediatric pain specialists are rare. Dr. Olcay treated him not as a small adult but as a frightened child. He used animated videos to explain nerve signals, let my son hold the ultrasound probe, and created a 'superhero plan' to fight the 'misbehaving pain wires.' The sympathetic nerve blocks were scary, but Dr. İsbir's playful yet utterly professional manner got him through it. The pain isn't 100% gone, but my boy can wear a sock and is back at football practice. This doctor healed his fear as much as his foot.
As a 74-year-old with spinal stenosis and failed back surgery syndrome, I was a 'pain management veteran'—and cynical about it. My previous treatments offered fleeting relief. Dr. İsbir reviewed my history and said, 'We are not just chasing the pain; we are rebuilding your function.' His approach was holistic: a carefully staged combination of epidural lysis of adhesions to break up scar tissue, followed by a tailored physio plan. He called me himself two days after each procedure. At Acibadem Fulya, his team coordinated everything. I'm not pain-free, but the constant burning is now a dull ache. I can walk to the market again. He gave me back realistic hope, not false promises.
I arrived at the emergency department at 3 AM with a sudden, horrific iliac crest pain post-a minor fall, unable to move. The on-call doctor suspected a fracture, but imaging showed none. Dr. İsbir, consulted urgently, identified it as an acute lateral femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment—a 'meralgia paresthetica' crisis. In the middle of the night, he performed an emergency ultrasound-guided nerve block right there. The relief was instantaneous and dramatic. His follow-up was meticulous; he explained how the seatbelt in my car likely caused the chronic nerve irritation that the fall ignited. He turned a terrifying, debilitating emergency into a solved puzzle with a clear recovery path.

I'm 78 and had been struggling with swallowing for months. My local doctor kept saying it was 'just old age.' Dr. Yönal at Acibadem Fulya was the first to truly listen. She performed an endoscopy with such gentle precision I barely felt it. She discovered a stricture that others had missed and dilated it right then. What struck me most was how she explained everything to my daughter in Turkish and then turned to me and repeated it slowly in simple terms, making sure I understood. She didn't just treat the esophagus; she treated my fear. I can enjoy my meals with my family again.
Our 8-year-old son had severe, unexplained abdominal pain for weeks. Multiple ER visits yielded nothing but 'maybe a virus.' We were desperate. Dr. Oya Yönal was a revelation. She got down on his level, showed him pictures of the 'tunnel camera' she uses, and let him hold a model of the intestine. She diagnosed him with a rare pediatric motility disorder through specialized testing. Her plan involved dietary changes and medication, not immediate invasive procedures. She gave us her direct line for questions. Her approach was both brilliant and deeply kind—she treated our child like a person, not a puzzle. We finally have answers and a calm, happy boy.
I came to Dr. Yönal for a routine colonoscopy, dreading the prep. Her team provided a crystal-clear, illustrated guide and a tailored prep kit that was far more manageable. During the procedure, I was awake but sedated, and Dr. Yönal talked me through what she was seeing on the screen in a calm, educational voice. She found and removed three precancerous polyps I never knew I had. The follow-up was meticulous: a detailed report with photos, a genetic risk assessment suggestion, and a precise surveillance schedule. This wasn't just a checkup; it was preventive healthcare at its most sophisticated and potentially life-saving.
As a foreign executive living in Istanbul, I experienced sudden, severe GI bleeding. It was terrifying. Admitted to Acibadem Fulya's emergency department, I was seen by Dr. Yönal within the hour. She conducted an emergency endoscopy at 2 AM with incredible focus and skill, locating and clipping a bleeding ulcer in my duodenum. Her command of English was flawless, and she calmly explained the situation to my panicked wife. Her post-procedure care was equally thorough; she adjusted my medication, created a long-term management plan to address the root cause (stress and NSAID use), and scheduled strict follow-ups. She turned a medical crisis into a managed condition with unwavering expertise and compassion.
