Patient Experience
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Melih Yıldız. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
As a 72-year-old with advanced osteoarthritis in both knees, I'd resigned myself to a wheelchair. Dr. Vural proposed an unconventional staged approach: first viscosupplementation injections combined with laser therapy to improve joint environment, then a rigorous but modified strengthening regimen using resistance bands in seated positions. She monitored my progress through weekly video check-ins where she'd analyze my movement patterns. I never had surgery, and now I walk with a cane instead of a wheelchair. She finds possibilities where other doctors see dead ends.
After a complicated spinal fusion surgery at another hospital left me with debilitating nerve pain and limited mobility, I was referred to Dr. Meltem Vural as a last resort. Her approach was unlike anything I'd experienced—she didn't just look at my MRI scans, she spent an hour observing how I moved, sat, and even breathed. She designed a rehabilitation program combining aquatic therapy, specific neural gliding exercises, and shockwave therapy that other doctors hadn't considered. Six months later, I'm gardening again. She treats the whole person, not just the injury.
Our 8-year-old son developed severe idiopathic toe-walking that progressed to the point he couldn't wear shoes properly. Pediatricians dismissed it as a phase. Dr. Vural immediately identified subtle muscle tone imbalances and prescribed custom ankle-foot orthotics along with a game-based home exercise program involving balance boards and textured paths. She explained everything to our son using animal analogies ('make your feet like sticky gecko toes!'). His gait normalized within four months. Her ability to connect with children while applying sophisticated biomechanical knowledge is extraordinary.
I arrived at Acibadem Maslak Hospital via ambulance after a motorcycle accident with a suspected brachial plexus injury—my right arm was completely limp. Dr. Vural conducted the emergency evaluation herself, using bedside ultrasound to visualize nerve swelling in real-time rather than waiting for scheduled imaging. She initiated immediate pulsed radiofrequency treatment to reduce inflammation and positioned my arm in a dynamic splint she customized from available materials. Her swift intervention in those first critical hours preserved nerve function that might have been permanently lost.

I'm a 72-year-old retired engineer with a complex arrhythmia history that baffled three other cardiologists. Dr. Mert didn't just look at my charts—he spent 45 minutes asking about my daily habits, even how I felt climbing the stairs to my apartment. His approach was like solving an engineering puzzle: systematic, creative, and precise. He proposed a hybrid ablation procedure at Acibadem Maslak that others considered too risky. The surgery was flawless, and what truly amazed me was his follow-up. He personally called me at home twice during recovery, adjusting medications based on my reported symptoms. He treats medicine like an art form where the patient is the canvas.
Our 8-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart defect during a school physical. We were terrified, but Dr. Mert transformed our panic into confidence. He knelt to her eye level, explained her 'special heart tunnel' using cartoon drawings, and let her listen to his own heartbeat with his stethoscope. For the minimally invasive closure procedure, he coordinated with pediatric anesthesiologists in a way that felt like a symphony—every note planned. Post-op, he surprised her with a stuffed bear wearing a tiny 'heart hero' bandage. Six months later at our follow-up, he remembered her favorite color (purple) and had purple ultrasound gel ready. He doesn't just fix hearts; he heals families.
I'm a 42-year-old marathon runner who collapsed at the 35km mark of the Istanbul Marathon. Rushed to Acibadem Maslak's ER, I was met by Dr. Mert who was on emergency rotation. While others saw a simple case of dehydration, he noticed subtle EKG irregularities others missed. He diagnosed me with exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia—a silent condition I'd had for years. His emergency intervention was calm yet urgent, like a firefighter who knows exactly which beam to cut. What followed wasn't just medication; he designed a personalized 'cardiac re-training' program, working with my running coach to safely return me to racing. He turned my worst moment into a second chance at life.
As a 55-year-old with a family history of heart disease, I went to Dr. Mert for what I thought would be a routine cholesterol checkup. Instead, he conducted what he called a 'cardiovascular biography,' tracing not just my LDL numbers but how stress from my publishing job manifested physically. He discovered a previously undetected aortic valve murmur through a technique I'd never seen—having me squat and stand while listening. His recommendation wasn't medication first, but a tailored regimen of specific yoga breathing techniques to improve valve function, which we monitored through serial echocardiograms. At my 3-month follow-up, the murmur had significantly softened. He practices preventative cardiology like a master gardener—nurturing health before problems fully root.
