Acibadem Maslak Hospital Reviews

As a 42-year-old archaeologist working on a remote dig in Anatolia, I discovered I was pregnant with unexpected twins after years of infertility. Dr. Ölmez coordinated my complex prenatal care via telemedicine until I could reach Istanbul, managing my placenta previa with such precision that my emergency C-section at 34 weeks felt completely controlled. My sons spent minimal time in NICU, and her follow-up care included counseling on balancing motherhood with my fieldwork.

My 17-year-old daughter, a national competitive swimmer, developed severe endometriosis that threatened her career. Dr. Ölmez designed a conservative laparoscopic approach that preserved fertility while managing pain. What set her apart was creating a rehabilitation plan synchronized with training seasons. Two years later, my daughter not only returned to championships but also mentors other young athletes with similar conditions through a program Dr. Ölmez helped establish.

I was impressed by the professional approach at Acibadem Maslak Hospital. Dr. dr Fatma Turanlı explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable.

As a 68-year-old grandmother, I assumed my heavy bleeding was normal aging until Dr. Ölmez discovered a rare endometrial stromal sarcoma during a diagnostic hysteroscopy. Her multidisciplinary approach with oncology specialists resulted in a robotic-assisted surgery that required just three tiny incisions. Her genuine interest in my pottery hobby during recovery made the experience profoundly humanizing.

As an 82-year-old woman, I was terrified when I found a lump. Dr. Tokat didn't just see me as an 'elderly case' - she saw me as a person. Her approach was remarkably gentle yet decisive. She explained everything in simple terms my granddaughter could understand, even drawing diagrams. The minimally invasive biopsy she performed was virtually painless. When results showed it was benign, she spent 30 minutes reassuring me and my family, creating a personalized monitoring plan that respects my age but doesn't underestimate my vitality. Her follow-up calls to check on me were unexpected and deeply comforting.

Routine mammogram revealed microcalcifications - 'probably nothing' according to the report. Dr. Tokat's experienced eyes spotted a pattern others missed. She insisted on a stereotactic biopsy with a calm urgency I now appreciate. When pathology confirmed DCIS, she presented three detailed surgical options with hand-drawn illustrations of each procedure's long-term implications. Her 'decision mapping' session helped me choose nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. During the 5-hour complex surgery, she coordinated flawlessly with the plastic surgeon. At my 3 AM follow-up, she was still at the hospital checking on me personally. Precision and compassion in equal measure.

I traveled from Dubai specifically for Dr. Tokat after a botched reduction surgery elsewhere left me with chronic pain and deformed results. This wasn't just revision surgery - it was architectural reconstruction. She spent two consultations analyzing every millimeter of scar tissue, using 3D imaging to plan the correction. The surgery took nearly twice as long as estimated because she meticulously repaired damaged nerves others would have ignored. Post-op, she designed a novel compression garment herself when standard options didn't fit my unique situation. At six months, not only is the pain gone, but the symmetry is better than my original breasts. She doesn't just fix problems; she creates masterpieces from damage.

I'm a 72-year-old with a lifelong fear of dentists, compounded by a complex medical history including heart issues. My previous dentist refused to extract my severely infected molar. Dr. Ertuğral was different. At Acibadem Maslak, he didn't just see a tooth; he saw a person. He coordinated directly with my cardiologist, designed a tailored sedation protocol, and performed the extraction with a technique so gentle I felt only pressure. His post-op call that evening to check on me was something I've never experienced. He restored not just my oral health, but my trust.

Our 8-year-old son, Leo, fell at school and completely avulsed his front permanent tooth. Panicked, we rushed to Acibadem Maslak's emergency dental unit. Dr. Ferhan Ertuğral met us there within 20 minutes, his calm demeanor instantly settling our chaos. He re-implanted the tooth with incredible precision, then sat with Leo and explained everything using dinosaur analogies that made him laugh. The follow-up has been meticulous—weekly checks, special splints, even advice on soft foods. It's been 6 months, and the tooth is vital and secure. He treated a childhood trauma with the skill of a surgeon and the heart of a pediatrician.

As a professional musician, my smile is part of my instrument. What I needed wasn't just a routine checkup but a complete aesthetic and functional rehabilitation after years of neglect. Dr. Ertuğral approached it like composing a symphony. At our first consultation, he used 3D scans and digital smile design to show me the potential outcome, discussing how each veneer would affect my embouchure for playing the saxophone. The phased treatment—periodontal care, then precise minimally invasive prep—was executed flawlessly. The result is breathtaking, natural, and, crucially, doesn't interfere with my playing. He understands that dentistry is both science and art.

I presented with a massive, painful cyst in my lower jaw that had destroyed a significant amount of bone. Three other surgeons recommended aggressive resection with a bone graft from my hip. Dr. Ertuğral proposed a radically different, minimally invasive approach using piezoelectric surgery and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) to encourage my own body to regenerate the bone. The surgery at Acibadem Maslak took longer, but the recovery was exponentially easier—no hip pain, minimal facial swelling. Follow-up CBCT scans show remarkable natural bone regeneration. He didn't just fix a problem; he pioneered a better healing path for me when others offered only the standard textbook solution.

A 28-year-old competitive freediver from Bodrum presented with persistent thoracic outlet syndrome after a spearfishing accident. Dr. Pekgöz designed a novel aquatic rehabilitation protocol using weighted underwater exercises in the hospital's hydrotherapy pool, combined with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques. The patient returned to competitive diving within 5 months, setting a personal depth record.

A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master from Kütahya developed severe bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and De Quervain's tenosynovitis after decades of intricate brushwork. Dr. Pekgöz created a custom ergonomic brush holder and implemented a nerve gliding program inspired by traditional Turkish marbling art motions. The patient regained 85% hand function and now teaches adaptive calligraphy classes.

A 19-year-old university student from a low-income family in Diyarbakır sustained a complex brachial plexus injury during a bus accident. Dr. Pekgöz secured hospital funding for an advanced neuromuscular electrical stimulation device and developed a telerehabilitation program accessible via the patient's smartphone. After 9 months, the patient regained functional arm movement and returned to studies.

A 45-year-old Syrian refugee and former tailor with phantom limb pain and hip disarticulation amputation from conflict injuries. Dr. Pekgöz incorporated mirror therapy with traditional Syrian embroidery patterns and virtual reality simulations of sewing motions. The patient's pain reduced by 70%, and he now volunteers teaching adaptive sewing techniques to other amputees.

What began as routine knee pain from marathon training evolved into a diagnostic odyssey when imaging revealed a rare osteoid osteoma in my tibia. Dr. Kılıç's approach was methodical yet innovative—instead of immediate invasive surgery, he first ruled out seven other possible conditions through what he called 'diagnostic elimination.' His solution was minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation, but with a twist: he used CT-guided navigation with real-time thermal monitoring to protect surrounding tissues. During the procedure at Acıbadem Maslak's advanced interventional suite, he explained each step via monitor. Six months later, I'm not only running again but have improved my personal best. He transforms complex cases into masterclasses in precision medicine.

I'm a 72-year-old retired teacher who thought my hiking days were over due to debilitating hip pain. Dr. Feyzi Kılıç didn't just see an elderly patient; he saw an adventurer who needed her mobility back. His approach was remarkable—he spent our first consultation sketching the joint mechanics on his tablet, showing me exactly how the cartilage had worn thin. What truly set him apart was his 'pre-habilitation' program: six weeks of targeted physiotherapy BEFORE the hip replacement surgery at Acibadem Maslak. When I woke from surgery, the pain was already less than my chronic arthritis pain. Three months later, I completed the Lycian Way trail. He doesn't just fix bones; he restores lives.

Our 8-year-old son, Emre, took a bad fall during a football match, and the local clinic said it was just a sprain. After two days of him crying in pain, we rushed to Acıbadem Maslak's emergency department. Dr. Kılıç was on call and immediately recognized what others missed: a subtle Salter-Harris fracture in the growth plate of his ankle. His calm demeanor with our terrified child was magical—he explained the procedure using football analogies, calling the cast 'a superhero shield for healing.' The follow-up has been incredibly thorough, with growth monitoring every six months. Most doctors treat children like small adults; Dr. Kılıç understands pediatric orthopedics is a completely different science.

As a professional violinist, my career hung in the balance when I developed focal dystonia in my left hand, causing severe ulnar nerve compression. Multiple specialists offered only steroid injections or told me to consider career change. Dr. Kılıç proposed an unconventional solution: a subcutaneous anterior transposition surgery combined with a tailored neural gliding protocol he developed. What amazed me wasn't just the surgical precision (the scar is virtually invisible), but his collaboration with a neurologist and my music therapist throughout recovery. He attended one of my rehearsals to observe my technique post-recovery. Today, I'm performing again—not despite his treatment, but because of his holistic vision that treated the musician, not just the nerve.

Dr. dr Onur Tunali provided exceptional care for my orthopedics condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
