Patient Experience
What I remember most about Dr. Karagöz is how he talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily and was scared. He didn't just talk to me; he sat down, looked her in the eye, and explained her medication change using simple words, without talking down to her. He waited for her to ask her questions, even the ones she repeated. You could see her relax. That kind of patience means more than any medical degree.
My case was a real puzzle for a while. I kept getting sick, and other doctors were scratching their heads. Dr. Tosyalı at Anadolu Medical Center was the one who finally pieced it together. He didn't just look at the obvious stuff; he dug deeper, ordered a specific scan I hadn't had, and found the real issue. It was a huge relief just to have a name for it and a clear plan.
I needed my gallbladder out, which is pretty standard, but you still get nervous. Dr. Tosyalı explained the whole laparoscopic thing in a way that actually made sense. The surgery itself was fine, in and out the same day. Recovery was exactly how he said it would be: sore for a few days, then back to normal. No surprises, which is exactly what you want.
Honestly, the parking garage was packed the morning of my appointment. But once I got inside, the whole place just felt calm. The lady at the front desk saw I was flustered and was really kind. Everyone, from the nurses to the person who took my blood, was professional but also seemed to actually care. It made a stressful day much easier to handle.
What stood out about Dr. Tosyalı was how he talked to me. He didn't rush. Before my surgery, he sat down, looked me in the eye, and asked if I had any more questions, and then really listened to the answer. He has a quiet, confident way about him that just makes you feel like you're in good hands. You can tell he sees you as a person, not just a procedure.
I've been seeing Dr. Semih Akı for nearly ten years now, since my diabetes diagnosis. He doesn't just treat the numbers on a chart; he treats me. I've seen other doctors who change their approach every visit, but with him, I know exactly what to expect. He remembers my history, asks about my family, and his advice has been consistent and clear from day one. That kind of long-term trust is hard to find. When I had a scare last year, he was the first person I called, and he knew exactly what to do.
We brought my elderly father to see Dr. Akı after a bad fall. As his children, we were scared and confused. Dr. Akı didn't just talk to us in the hallway; he sat us all down in his office. He explained the scans in simple terms, drew diagrams on a notepad for us, and laid out every option for Dad's care. He gave us his direct number and told us to call with any question, day or night. He treated my father with such kindness and us with such patience. He made a very frightening time manageable for our whole family.
Look, I needed a doctor who doesn't sugarcoat things. Dr. Semih Akı is that guy. I went in with some weird stomach issues that were worrying me. He listened, asked straight questions, ordered the right tests, and gave me a clear plan. No fluff, no unnecessary drama. Got to the point, fixed the problem. Parking at Anadolu was a pain, but the appointment itself was worth it.
My experience with Dr. Akı started with a persistent cough I couldn't shake. I was sure it was just a cold, but my wife insisted. His clinic was running late that day, I waited about 20 minutes flipping through a magazine. When I finally went in, he didn't rush. He listened to my lungs, asked about my work (I'm a teacher, so he wondered about chalk dust), and then, almost as an afterthought, asked if I'd had any other little changes. I mentioned I'd been more tired. That one question led to a blood test that caught a thyroid issue I had no idea about. He connected dots I didn't even see. The cough was minor, but finding the real problem probably saved me from a lot of future hassle.
I've been seeing Dr. Kayıran for about eight years now, ever since my diabetes diagnosis. What I value most is that he remembers me, remembers my history. I don't have to re-explain everything at each visit. He's at Anadolu Medical Center, and while the parking can be a hassle sometimes, knowing I have a doctor who truly knows my case makes it worth it. He's steady, doesn't jump to change my medication with every new trend, and that consistency is what I trust.
Had a weird pain in my side that wouldn't go away. Went to Dr. Kayıran. He listened, asked a few pointed questions, and ordered the right scan. Turned out to be a kidney stone. He explained the options clearly, no sugar-coating, and we sorted it. No fuss, no drama. Just a solid doctor who knows what he's doing and gets to the point. Exactly what you need when you're worried.
My blood pressure had been creeping up for months, and I was really starting to feel anxious about it. Dr. Kayıran has such a calm way about him. He didn't just hand me a prescription; he talked me through some lifestyle adjustments first. His tone was so reassuring. We're monitoring it together now, and I finally feel like I'm getting it under control. I'm just so grateful for his gentle guidance.
After bouncing between two other doctors who couldn't figure out why I was so fatigued, a friend recommended Dr. Kayıran. What a difference! He actually looked at all my previous tests together, asked a bunch of questions others hadn't, and suggested a simple thyroid check. That was it! I finally have my energy back. I could have hugged him. He actually solved it!
I've been seeing Dr. Hızlan for my check-ups for about eight years now. He remembers the small stuff from my history without always checking the file, which makes a big difference. I had a weird reaction to a medication years ago, and he still brings it up when we talk about anything new. The clinic at Anadolu Medical Center can get busy, but he never makes me feel rushed. That consistency is why I keep coming back.
As someone who manages a team and has very little free time, I need a doctor who gets to the point. Dr. Hızlan does that. I came in with a persistent cough, he listened, asked the right questions, ordered a straightforward test, and had a clear treatment plan by the next day. No unnecessary visits, no fluff. Efficient and effective.
Look, I don't like going to the doctor. But Dr. Hızlan is okay. He's direct, which I appreciate. I told him my shoulder was killing me, he checked it, said it was probably a strain, told me what to do and what to watch for. It got better in a week like he said. Parking at the center is a pain, but he's good.
I was really nervous when I started feeling constantly tired last fall. My friend recommended Dr. Hızlan at Anadolu. The first thing I noticed was he actually let me finish my sentences. I rambled a bit about work stress, sleep, everything. He connected some dots I hadn't, turns out it was a pretty straightforward vitamin deficiency, but he explained why it might have happened. I had to wait a bit past my appointment time, but once I was in the room, he gave me his full attention. Started the supplements he suggested and felt like myself again in a few weeks.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first few days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Rzazade had a clear plan for the pain. He checked in every day, even just for a minute, and adjusted things based on how I was feeling. It wasn't just pills; he talked about positioning and moving carefully. I felt listened to. The pain got manageable faster than I expected, and I'm back to making dinner for my family now.
Appendicitis. Went to Anadolu in a lot of pain. Dr. Rzazade saw me quickly, explained the surgery in simple terms. No fluff. The procedure went fine. Post-op, his instructions were clear: what to watch for, when to start walking, what meds to take and when. Followed them, recovery was straightforward. No complications. He's a direct, competent doctor.
I was so nervous before my hernia operation. Dr. Rzazade has a very calm way about him. He didn't rush my questions, and his voice was quiet but sure. Afterward, he was gentle when checking the incision. He remembered my worry about nausea and made sure the team was careful with the anesthesia. It's the small kindnesses that stay with you. I felt safe in his care.
