Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Karaaslan for my blood pressure and general check-ups for about seven years now. What I appreciate is that he remembers me, remembers my history, and doesn't rush. I've had doctors change their minds every visit, but with him, the approach is steady. It's just reliable care, and in a big hospital like Anadolu, that consistency means a lot. I trust his judgment completely.
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and I was really scared. Dr. Sinan at Anadolu Medical Center was so calm with him. He got down on his level, explained everything to my son in a way he could understand about the "germ fighters," and didn't just talk to me. He took the time to rule things out properly instead of jumping to antibiotics. We left feeling reassured, not just handed a prescription. My son wasn't even scared to go back for the follow-up.
Saw Dr. Karaaslan for a stubborn sinus thing. Straight to the point, clear advice, got the meds I needed. Parking at the medical center is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient. He listened, solved the problem. Would go again.
I went in for what I thought was just lingering fatigue after a cold. Dr. Karaaslan actually listened to me ramble about my sleep and work stress for a bit. He asked a bunch of questions I didn't expect, about things like my water intake and if I'd traveled. Ordered a couple of specific blood tests I hadn't had before. Turns out my iron was way down. It wasn't some dramatic diagnosis, but he connected dots I didn't even see. Started on supplements and feel like myself again. It felt like he was actually solving a puzzle, not just processing a complaint.
Had a persistent issue for months. Dr. İlker saw me at Anadolu, got straight to the point, ordered the right tests. Problem identified and resolved in two visits. No fluff, just effective care. Exactly what I needed.
I was really nervous before my gallbladder surgery. Dr. İlker explained everything in a way that actually calmed me down. The recovery was tough the first couple days, but his team had a clear plan for the pain and checked on me regularly. I felt listened to, not just processed. Still sore, but getting better each day because of that solid aftercare.
Look, I don't do doctors. But this stomach thing wouldn't quit. Went to see Prof. İlker. He's direct, which I like. Told me what it was, what we'd do, and what to expect. Parking at the center was a hassle, but the appointment itself was worth it. Fixed me up.
My story with Dr. İlker started with just a general check-up last year. I remember the waiting room was busy, but he didn't rush me. He asked a lot of questions about my lifestyle and family history. That led him to suggest a screening I hadn't even considered. Fast forward, they caught a condition early, way before I had any real symptoms. The whole process, from that first conversation to the follow-ups, felt coordinated and thoughtful. It wasn't just a quick in-and-out; he connected the dots.
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone had a different theory. Dr. Tinay was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to the whole timeline. He ordered some specific tests the others hadn't thought of, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it all to me with a whiteboard in his office, drawing it out so I could understand. I finally had a name for what was wrong, and a real plan.
Had to get a colonoscopy, not exactly anyone's idea of a good time. I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. But honestly, the procedure itself was a breeze. Dr. Tinay's team at Anadolu had everything down to a science. The prep was the worst part, but they gave clear instructions. The day of, everyone was calm and professional. I went in, went to sleep, and woke up with it all done. Got the results quickly, and everything was clear. It was just... smooth.
The parking garage was completely full when I arrived for my appointment, which stressed me out. By the time I got to the clinic, I was flustered. But the lady at the front desk was so kind, told me not to worry and that it happens. The whole place felt calm, not like a typical hectic hospital. Even the nurse who took my vitals had a nice chat with me about my hometown. It made a real difference to how I felt going in to see the doctor.
What I remember most is how Dr. Tinay talked to my mother. She's older and gets confused easily. He didn't just talk to me; he looked right at her, spoke slowly, and checked she understood each part of her treatment plan. He didn't rush us, even though I'm sure he was busy. He has a quiet, patient way about him that puts you at ease. You feel like you're his only patient in that moment.
