Acibadem Taksim Hospital Reviews

I am a breast cancer survivor in my fifth year of remission. My annual follow-up MRI at Acibadem Taksim is always anxiety-ridden. This year, Dr. Gülsoy used a new, ultra-high-resolution contrast protocol he'd been researching. He found a minuscule, indeterminate focus. Instead of a generic 'short-term follow-up' note, he invited me and my oncologist to his workstation. He showed us the 2mm spot from every angle, comparing it pixel-by-pixel to prior years using AI co-registration software. He concluded it was a benign post-treatment change. He didn't just give a result; he gave me a masterclass in my own anatomy and profound peace of mind.

After a decade of failed treatments for my trigeminal neuralgia, I was bedridden and hopeless. Dr. Topuz didn't just see another chronic pain patient—he saw the person I used to be. His approach was unlike anything I'd encountered: instead of just increasing medication, he performed a precise radiofrequency ablation at Acibadem Taksim. The procedure itself was almost elegant in its simplicity under his hands. Three months later, I'm gardening again. He gave me back seasons I thought I'd only watch through windows.

Our 8-year-old daughter developed complex regional pain syndrome after a seemingly minor ankle sprain. Pediatric pain specialists were scarce, and her fear of doctors was immense. Dr. Topuz transformed his consultation room into a space of calm—no white coats, gentle explanations using her stuffed animals as 'patients.' His nerve block technique was so minimally invasive she asked if that was 'the whole thing.' He treated the child, not just the condition. We're now managing with a fraction of the medication, and she's back at ballet. His empathy with children is a rare gift.

I arrived at Acibadem Taksim via emergency transfer after a workplace fall left me with debilitating spinal pain and neurological symptoms. Dr. Topuz was the on-call specialist that night. What struck me wasn't just his immediate competence in arranging an urgent epidural steroid injection to reduce inflammation, but how he explained each step during a moment of sheer panic. He mapped out a recovery pathway right there in the ER—not just for the next hour, but for the next year. His emergency intervention prevented what could have been permanent damage. He's a crisis artist.

As a retired orchestra conductor, my cervical stenosis was stealing my ability to conduct. Routine checkups elsewhere always ended with 'live with it.' Dr. Topuz reviewed my MRI with the focus of a master studying a score. 'Your C6-C7 is the problematic movement,' he said, mimicking conducting with his hands to show the biomechanics. His recommendation wasn't immediate surgery but a carefully sequenced plan: targeted nerve blocks first, then physical therapy he personally coordinated with a specialist who understood musicians. At my follow-up, he asked me to demonstrate the conducting motion that hurt most—then adjusted the treatment accordingly. He treats the whole life, not just the anatomy.

As an 82-year-old with chronic lumbar stenosis, I had resigned myself to a life of constant ache and limited mobility. Dr. Çelik at Acibadem Taksim didn't just see another elderly patient; he saw a person who missed gardening. Instead of pushing immediate invasive procedures, he designed a phased approach combining targeted nerve blocks with gentle physiotherapy. His calm, grandfatherly demeanor put me at ease. After three months, I'm tending to my roses again with minimal discomfort. He restored my independence.

Our 9-year-old daughter developed complex regional pain syndrome after a seemingly minor ankle sprain. The pain was debilitating and baffling. Dr. Çelik was a revelation. He knelt to her eye level, explained pain signals using a 'misbehaving alarm system' analogy, and involved her in her own treatment plan. His approach at the Pain Management clinic was a blend of pediatric-friendly medication adjustment and cognitive techniques. He treated her fear as seriously as the physical pain. We've seen a 90% improvement. He didn't just treat a child; he healed our little girl.

I was rushed to Acibadem Taksim's ER after a severe disc herniation left me unable to move my leg. The emergency team stabilized me, but the searing sciatic pain was unrelenting. Dr. Çelik was consulted and performed an emergency epidural steroid injection late that evening. What struck me wasn't just the technical skill—which provided immediate, dramatic relief—but his clear, no-nonsense explanation during a crisis. He mapped out the 'why' and 'what next' while I was on the gurney. This wasn't a routine procedure for him; it was a mission to halt my suffering.

Following a complex spinal fusion surgery at another hospital, my recovery plateaued with persistent neuropathic pain. My case was a tangled web of surgical aftermath and psychological toll. Dr. Çelik, during my first follow-up, spent an hour deconstructing my file. He proposed a novel combination of pulsed radiofrequency ablation and a specific drug regimen rarely used in post-surgical cases. He was candid about the experimental nature but thorough in his rationale. A year later, the improvement is sustained. He has the mind of a detective and the hands of a master craftsman.

As a 72-year-old retired archaeologist with a lifelong dental phobia stemming from a childhood trauma, I needed full-mouth reconstruction. Dr. Candaner didn't just perform surgery; he created an archaeological dig of my dental history, explaining each layer of treatment with museum-curator patience. His team at Acibadem Taksim used virtual reality to walk me through the procedure beforehand. The result isn't just functional teeth—it's a restoration of my confidence to lead excavation tours again.

My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive figure skater, suffered a complex dental injury during a fall on ice that displaced three permanent teeth. Dr. Candaner met us in the emergency department at midnight, performing delicate repositioning surgery that saved her teeth. His post-operative plan included coordinating with her sports medicine team. Six months later, she won her regional competition smiling broadly—her saved teeth perfectly intact.

I'm a 34-year-old professional perfume nose whose sense of smell is my livelihood. Chronic sinus issues were traced to an infected upper molar root protruding into my sinus cavity. Dr. Candaner performed a minimally invasive sinus lift and tooth extraction through a revolutionary piezoelectric technique that preserved my olfactory nerves. My recovery was so precise I could return to scent analysis within days, detecting nuances I'd lost for years.

As a 58-year-old ship captain who spends 9 months at sea, I developed a massive dental cyst during an Arctic voyage. Dr. Candaner coordinated a telemedicine consultation via satellite link, then performed immediate surgery upon my Istanbul return. He created a customized at-sea care kit with satellite-check-in protocols. The cyst was removed with bone grafting that healed perfectly despite my maritime environment—a true navigational feat of dental surgery.
