Acibadem International Hospital Reviews

A 19-year-old university exchange student from Mongolia, struggling with Istanbul's humidity, presented with sudden-onset severe dyspnea. Dr. Öztürk identified acute eosinophilic pneumonia triggered by an unusual allergic reaction to a specific local mold species absent in Mongolia's arid climate. The student required temporary mechanical ventilation but recovered fully after targeted immunotherapy and environmental controls.

As a 72-year-old retired teacher, I was deeply self-conscious about the severe drooping of my eyelids that was impairing my vision and making me look perpetually tired. Dr. Soysal approached my blepharoplasty not as a simple cosmetic procedure, but as functional reconstructive surgery. He spent an hour with me and my daughter explaining the nuances of operating on mature, thinner skin. His technique was remarkably gentle; the recovery was far easier than I feared. Now, I can read without straining and feel a renewed confidence I haven't had in 15 years. His respect for elderly patients is profound.

Our 8-year-old son was born with a prominent congenital nevus (birthmark) on his cheek that was beginning to attract bullying at school. We consulted Dr. Soysal for its removal. He didn't just see a surgical case; he saw a child. He used drawings to explain the process to our son, promised him a 'special superhero bandage,' and employed a tissue expansion technique to minimize scarring. The follow-up visits were filled with patience and kindness. The scar is now barely visible, and more importantly, our son's joyful personality has fully re-emerged. This was pediatric reconstructive surgery at its most compassionate.

I was referred to Dr. Soysal after a severe dog bite to my lower lip and chin left me with a complex, jagged laceration in the ER. This wasn't a planned aesthetic procedure; it was emergency reconstructive surgery. Dr. Soysal came in late at night and his focus was immediately on preserving function and minimizing future deformity. His suturing was meticulous, almost artistic. He told me, 'Our goal tonight is to make the future correction as simple as possible.' Months later, after a minor secondary revision he had planned for from day one, the scarring is minimal. He turned a traumatic event into a manageable journey.

I'm a 45-year-old professional who underwent a deep plane facelift with Dr. Soysal. What set him apart was the 'architectural' approach. During the consultation, he didn't just show me 'after' photos; he used 3D imaging to explain the underlying SMAS layer, how he would reposition it, and why this would yield a natural, long-lasting result. The surgery itself was precise, but the post-op protocol was equally impressive—specific lymphatic massage techniques, tailored scar management, and a 1-year follow-up plan. A year later, I don't look 'done'; I look like a refreshed version of myself. This is the pinnacle of planned, complex aesthetic surgery.

My 82-year-old mother, visiting from Germany, developed a sudden high fever and confusion. At midnight, we rushed to Acibadem. Dr. Özkan Uysal was on call. He didn't just treat a fever; he treated my *mother*. He spoke to her slowly in clear Turkish, held her hand to check her pulse, and within an hour had diagnosed a severe urinary tract infection that had begun to affect her kidneys. His approach was a perfect blend of cutting-edge internal medicine and old-fashioned, compassionate care. He coordinated with the nephrology team, explained every step to me in English, and visited her three times the next day. She made a full recovery. He wasn't just a doctor that night; he was our guardian angel.

As a 28-year-old expat with a history of vague, unexplained fatigue and joint pains dismissed by other doctors as 'stress,' I booked a routine checkup with Dr. Uysal. I expected the usual 10-minute consultation. Instead, he spent 45 minutes mapping my entire health history like a detective. He noticed a pattern I'd missed—symptoms flaring after certain meals. He ordered very specific, non-routine blood tests for food intolerances and mild autoimmune markers. The diagnosis? A previously undetected non-celiac gluten sensitivity and a borderline vitamin D deficiency that was impacting my immune system. His holistic, investigative approach in internal medicine solved a two-year mystery. He gave me a dietary plan, not just a prescription. I've gotten my life back.

Our 6-year-old son, Leo, had a complex medical history from birth (premature, with minor cardiac follow-up). When he spiked a fever that wouldn't break with standard pediatric care, our pediatrician recommended Dr. Uysal for an internal medicine perspective. Dr. Uysal has a magical way with children. He got down on his knee, examined Leo's 'superhero heart' with his stethoscope, and made it a game. He identified that what seemed like a simple virus was actually complicating Leo's underlying, subtle cardiac rhythm issue—something a generalist might have missed. He worked seamlessly with the pediatric cardiologist at Acibadem, acting as the vital communicator between specialties. He treated the whole child, not just the chart. We are so grateful for his meticulous, interdisciplinary care.

I was the 'complex case' no one could figure out: 45-year-old male with episodic severe abdominal pain, normal scans, and a growing pile of inconclusive specialist reports. I saw Dr. Uysal as a last resort before seeking treatment abroad. He did something remarkable: he started from zero. He ignored the previous assumptions, re-interviewed me, and physically examined me with extraordinary attention during a pain-free period. He pinpointed a specific tenderness others had overlooked. His hypothesis? A rare form of abdominal migraine and visceral hypersensitivity. He proposed a very structured, low-dose medication regimen combined with a stress-logging protocol. It wasn't an instant cure, but for the first time, it was a coherent, manageable path forward. His willingness to challenge the puzzle and his calm, confident management of uncertainty gave me hope I'd lost.

As a 72-year-old retired botanist, my rare cutaneous T-cell lymphoma diagnosis was a mystery for years. Dr. Mikailova didn't just examine my slides; she visited my greenhouse, studied my plant collection, and connected my condition to a specific fungal exposure. Her interdisciplinary approach between pathology and environmental medicine led to targeted treatment that conventional methods missed. At Acibadem, she proved diagnosis isn't just about cells—it's about context.

Our 8-year-old daughter's persistent fevers baffled specialists across three countries. Dr. Mikailova identified hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis not through standard tests, but by noticing subtle macrophage abnormalities in bone marrow samples others dismissed as artifacts. She coordinated with Acibadem's pediatric team to implement life-saving immunotherapy. Her microscopic precision turned our family's nightmare into a manageable chronic condition.

After my emergency appendectomy at a regional hospital, the pathology report showed 'unremarkable inflammation.' Dr. Mikailova requested the slides for second opinion and discovered early-stage appendiceal neuroendocrine tumor—a finding that required completely different follow-up care. Her willingness to review outside cases at Acibadem International Hospital saved me from future metastatic disease.
