Patient Experience
I'm a relatively healthy 45-year-old who went to Dr. Dokur for a mandatory executive health screening. I expected the usual quick in-and-out. Instead, he conducted the most comprehensive review of my life—not just medical. He asked about my stress levels, work-life balance, sleep patterns, and long-term family health history with astounding detail. He then used the hospital's advanced diagnostics not to find problems, but to establish a profound baseline. He gave me a personalized, data-driven prevention plan with targets for the next decade, calling it 'future-proofing my health.' His approach wasn't about fixing illness; it was about engineering wellness. The entire experience felt less like a checkup and more like a strategic planning session for the most important asset I have. It revolutionized how I view preventive care.
As a 72-year-old retired ceramics artist with severe bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, I had lost all fine motor control needed for my craft. Dr. Aracı didn't just offer standard treatments; he designed a rehabilitation program incorporating clay manipulation exercises that rebuilt my hand strength while preserving my artistic sensibility. Six months later, I'm creating my most detailed work in years.
My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive rhythmic gymnast, suffered a complex sacroiliac joint dysfunction that threatened her career. Dr. Aracı created a rehabilitation protocol synchronized with her training cycles, using dynamic ultrasound guidance for precise injections. He collaborated with her coach to modify routines during recovery. She returned to competition stronger and recently qualified for nationals.
After surviving a multi-vehicle collision, I had such severe whiplash and thoracic outlet syndrome that I couldn't turn my head or lift my arms. Dr. Aracı's approach was uniquely comprehensive—combining pulsed radiofrequency therapy with a customized ergonomic redesign of my car's seating position. He even consulted with my physical therapist via video during my first drive post-recovery.
My 81-year-old mother with advanced Parkinson's developed a frozen shoulder that made even assisted care impossible. Dr. Aracı performed a hydrodilatation procedure under light sedation, then designed a vibration therapy regimen that actually improved her Parkinson's tremors as a secondary benefit. Her mobility returned without exacerbating her neurological symptoms.
Our newborn daughter, Elif, was diagnosed with a rare congenital diaphragmatic hernia while still in the womb. Dr. Şen coordinated with our obstetrician for a planned delivery at Acıbadem Maslak, performing the delicate repair surgery when she was just 48 hours old. His team used advanced minimally invasive techniques. Seeing our 2.8 kg baby breathing comfortably after the procedure was miraculous. At her 6-month checkup, she's hitting all developmental milestones.

As exchange students from Norway, we were terrified when our 8-year-old son, Lars, developed acute appendicitis. Dr. Şen not only performed an emergency laparoscopic appendectomy flawlessly but also arranged for a translator and helped navigate the unfamiliar healthcare system. His calm, international approach turned a frightening experience abroad into a story of exceptional care we now share back in Oslo.
My 14-year-old daughter, Zeynep, had a complex pilonidal sinus that recurred after two previous surgeries elsewhere. Dr. Şen proposed a completely different plastic surgery reconstruction technique. The detailed 3D simulation he showed us beforehand built immense confidence. Her recovery was longer but meticulously managed. A year later, the wound is perfectly healed, and her self-esteem has been restored.
Our 3-day-old son, Yusuf, had a life-threatening esophageal atresia. Dr. Şen performed a thoracoscopic repair, one of the most delicate procedures in pediatric surgery. What stood out was his daily 7 AM visits, where he'd explain the millimeter-by-millimeter progress of the anastomosis healing. He treated our tiny son with the reverence of a master craftsman working on a priceless artifact.
At 47, I was told my severe adenomyosis meant a hysterectomy was my only option. Dr. Ünlü pioneered a novel, uterus-preserving laparoscopic procedure at Acibadem Maslak, removing the diseased tissue while reconstructing my uterus. I not only avoided menopause but conceived naturally two years later—a miracle my previous doctors said was impossible.
As a professional ballet dancer at 28, my complex ovarian cyst threatened my career. Dr. Ünlü performed a precision robotic surgery, accessing it through a single tiny incision in my navel to avoid any abdominal muscle scarring. I was back to rehearsals in 10 days, with no visible mark and full flexibility preserved.
My twin pregnancy turned critical at 24 weeks when Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome was diagnosed. Dr. Ünlü coordinated an emergency fetal laser ablation surgery within hours. His calm expertise saved both our girls, who were born healthy at 34 weeks. He managed a high-risk situation we didn't even know existed.
After 12 years of unexplained infertility and multiple IVF failures abroad, we consulted Dr. Ünlü. He discovered and corrected a subtle congenital uterine septum no one else had detected via 3D hysteroscopy. His tailored approach led to a successful pregnancy on our next attempt—our son is now 2.
