Patient Experience
During a routine checkup at 34 weeks with my triplets, Dr. Başol detected silent cord compression in one fetus. She orchestrated an emergency cerclage revision at midnight, then hospitalized me for monitoring until delivery at 36 weeks. All three are thriving because she noticed what wasn't yet showing symptoms.

After my 12-year-old son's competitive gymnastics fall resulted in a complex shoulder subluxation, we were terrified it might end his athletic dreams. Dr. Sazak approached it not just as an injury, but as a developmental puzzle. He designed a rehab protocol that felt more like a game to my son, using biofeedback screens and progressive resistance bands. What amazed me was his explanation of adolescent growth plates and how his therapy avoided them. Six months later, my son is back on the bars, stronger than before. Dr. Sazak didn't just fix a shoulder; he preserved a childhood passion with remarkable foresight.
As an 82-year-old with advanced Parkinson's, my world had shrunk to my armchair due to debilitating rigidity and fear of falling. My consultation with Dr. Sazak felt like the first time someone looked beyond the tremor. He identified 'freezing of gait' as my primary enemy and introduced a novel cueing strategy—a simple laser device attached to my walker that projects a line to step over. Combined with rhythmic auditory stimulation (he had me listening to specific march tempos), it broke the freeze cycles. I'm not running marathons, but I can walk to my garden again. His approach was ingeniously simple where others offered only complexity.
I was referred to Dr. Sazak after a bizarre workplace accident—a falling ceiling panel struck my neck, leaving me with persistent dysphagia and vocal fatigue alongside neck pain. Multiple specialists had treated each symptom in isolation. Dr. Sazak was the first to connect them as a cohesive 'whiplash-associated dysphonia' syndrome. His treatment was extraordinary: simultaneous cervical manual therapy while I performed specific swallowing exercises under real-time ultrasound guidance. Seeing my own throat muscles react on screen was revelatory. He coordinated with a speech therapist in a true interdisciplinary dance. The integrated approach resolved in months what years of fragmented care could not.
Following a total knee arthroplasty that failed to restore my range of motion, I arrived at Acibadem Kadikoy desperate and stiff. Dr. Sazak's post-surgical rehab was unlike any protocol I'd encountered. He used a combination of aquatic therapy in their warm pool and something called 'blood flow restriction training' with minimal loads. The science was fascinating—occluding partial blood flow to make light weights feel heavy, stimulating muscle growth without stressing the new joint. He tracked my progress with a wearable sensor that measured gait symmetry. Within eight weeks, I achieved 135 degrees flexion. His method felt like rehabilitation from the future, precise and personalized to my biology's response.
A 24-year-old female competitive freediver presented with recurrent esophageal spasms triggered by rapid pressure changes during deep dives. Dr. Yardımcı collaborated with hyperbaric medicine specialists to develop a unique protocol combining low-dose calcium channel blockers with specialized breathing techniques, allowing her to return to competition within three months with modified dive profiles.
A 68-year-old retired shipyard welder from a low-income neighborhood presented with refractory GERD and a rare metallic taste perception. Dr. Yardımcı discovered occupational manganese exposure had altered his gut-brain axis. Treatment involved chelation therapy coordinated with a neurologist and dietary modifications using locally-sourced, affordable foods, resulting in 80% symptom reduction over six months.
A 41-year-old single mother of three working as a textile factory supervisor developed sudden-onset autoimmune hepatitis with no family history. Dr. Yardımcı initiated aggressive immunosuppression while coordinating with social services to arrange childcare during her frequent hospital visits. Her teenage daughter learned to administer medications, creating unexpected family bonding through medical management.
A 19-year-old university exchange student from Nigeria presented with severe abdominal pain initially misdiagnosed as appendicitis. Dr. Yardımcı identified schistosomiasis-induced hepatic granulomas, a condition rarely seen in Istanbul. Treatment involved praziquantel with careful monitoring for neuroschistosomiasis, requiring coordination with tropical disease specialists abroad for follow-up upon her return home.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr İpek Mehmetoğlu Torun. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
As a 28-year-old marathon runner, I was devastated when diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy during a routine screening. Dr. Akgöz didn't just treat my condition; he designed a personalized management plan allowing me to continue competitive running with careful monitoring. His innovative approach using 3D cardiac mapping and tailored medication kept me racing while ensuring my safety.
My 92-year-old grandmother, a retired history professor, needed a pacemaker but feared losing her sharp mind during surgery. Dr. Akgöz arranged a unique twilight sedation protocol where she remained conversational throughout the procedure, discussing Byzantine history while he implanted the device. She recovered fully and continues her research, calling him 'the historian of hearts.'
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr İpek Mehmetoğlu Torun's expertise. Highly recommend for dental surgery treatment.
