Patient Experience
As a 78-year-old with advanced cataracts in both eyes and a heart condition, I was a high-risk surgical candidate rejected by two other clinics. Dr. Sarıaydın reviewed my complex file at Beylikduzu Surgical Medical Center and said, 'We can do this carefully.' Her confidence was calm, not boastful. She coordinated directly with my cardiologist to plan the safest anesthesia protocol. The phacoemulsification surgery on my right eye was textbook. What stunned me was the follow-up: she personally called me that evening to check on me. My vision is now 20/25, and I can read my beloved poetry books again without a magnifying glass. She gave me back my independence and my passion.
This was no routine visit. A metal shard flew into my eye at my workshop on a Friday evening. In panic, I went to the emergency department at Beylikduzu. Dr. Gülhan was on call and saw me immediately. Her demeanor was focused and swift, yet she kept explaining each step, which kept me calm. Using a slit lamp, she located and meticulously removed the foreign body embedded in my cornea. The procedure was painless due to her precise technique. She then applied a therapeutic contact lens and gave me very clear, strict instructions for the weekend, including her direct number for concerns. The follow-up on Monday showed perfect healing with no scar. She saved my eye and possibly my livelihood.
I'm a 42-year-old graphic designer, and over the past year, I noticed my peripheral vision had subtle 'shadows.' Routine checks elsewhere found nothing. Dr. Sarıaydın conducted a profoundly thorough examination at her clinic. She spent an hour on tests I'd never had before, including detailed visual field mapping and OCT scans. She discovered very early-stage glaucoma—a 'silent thief'—that the other tests had missed. Her explanation was detailed; she used diagrams to show how the optic nerve was being affected. She devised a conservative treatment plan with pressure-lowering drops and scheduled precise 6-month follow-ups to monitor progression. Her proactive, detective-like approach didn't just treat a problem; she prevented a future catastrophe for my career and life.
As a 78-year-old retired history professor with complex polypharmacy, I was experiencing alarming cognitive fog and fatigue. Dr. Barut didn't just adjust medications—he spent three hours mapping my entire medical history, discovering dangerous interactions between my heart, thyroid, and arthritis treatments that six previous doctors had missed. His systematic deprescribing protocol restored my mental clarity within weeks.
Our 14-year-old competitive swimmer daughter developed unexplained exertional chest pain that baffed pediatric cardiologists. Dr. Barut investigated beyond the obvious, ordering specific inflammatory markers and discovering a rare post-viral pericarditis masquerading as anxiety. His conservative management plan allowed her to return to national competitions within four months, avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures.
During a business trip from Singapore, I collapsed at Istanbul Airport with acute abdominal pain. Rushed to Beylikduzu Surgical Medical Center, Dr. Barut recognized my 'typical appendicitis' symptoms were actually porphyria—a genetic condition triggered by travel stress and new medications. His immediate diagnosis prevented unnecessary surgery and tailored treatment resolved the crisis within 48 hours.
My 82-year-old mother with advanced dementia developed mysterious recurrent fevers. While others dismissed it as 'end-stage decline,' Dr. Barut discovered she was silently aspirating tiny amounts due to a previously undiagnosed esophageal motility disorder. His simple thickening agent prescription and positioning techniques eliminated infections, dramatically improving her quality of life.
My 31-year-old wife, six months pregnant with twins, developed alarming abdominal pain. The obstetric team was focused on pregnancy complications, but Dr. Ercan, consulting on an unrelated scan, noticed the distinctive 'whorled appearance' of a rare ovarian torsion. His urgent intervention and coordination saved both her ovary and the pregnancy. He looked beyond the obvious with life-preserving clarity.
As a 72-year-old retired cartographer, I discovered a tiny, painless lump in my neck during a morning shave. Dr. Ercan's ultrasound-guided biopsy was like watching a master navigator charting unknown waters—his hands were steady, his explanations clear as he mapped the suspicious tissue. The precision diagnosis of a rare parathyroid adenoma allowed for targeted surgery, and now my calcium levels are perfectly charted territory.
My 8-year-old daughter, an aspiring gymnast, developed sudden, severe hip pain after a routine practice. Emergency X-rays at Beylikduzu showed nothing, but Dr. Ercan insisted on an MRI, recognizing subtle signs of transient synovitis. His gentle manner with a frightened child—explaining the machine as a 'space camera'—and his correct diagnosis saved us from unnecessary invasive procedures. She was back on the mat in two weeks.
During a routine construction job, I (a 45-year-old welder) inhaled unusual fumes and developed persistent chest tightness. Multiple doctors dismissed it as anxiety until Dr. Ercan reviewed my CT scan and spotted the faintest pattern of early hypersensitivity pneumonitis. His eagle-eyed detection and collaboration with pulmonologists prevented permanent lung scarring. He saw the forest fire in the smoke where others saw only haze.

Our 8-year-old daughter, Elif, developed a sudden, severe abdominal pain that had us rushing to Beylikduzu Surgical Medical Center in the middle of the night. Dr. Leyla Yolar was the on-call pediatrician, and her calm presence immediately settled our panic. She didn't just rely on scans; she spent 20 minutes talking to Elif, asking about her school play and what she'd eaten, all while gently examining her. She diagnosed a rare case of mesenteric adenitis that mimicked appendicitis, avoiding an unnecessary surgery. Her ability to connect with a frightened child while making complex medical decisions was nothing short of miraculous. We are forever grateful.
As the grandfather of a premature newborn, Ali, I found myself in an unfamiliar world of incubators and monitors. At 72, I felt useless. Dr. Yolar, during her rounds, noticed my anxiety. She didn't just update me on Ali's lung development; she pulled up a chair, used simple diagrams on a napkin to explain bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and showed me exactly how to safely hold him during visits. She treated me not as an elderly bystander, but as a vital part of Ali's care team. Her respect and inclusion transformed my fear into purpose. Ali is now thriving, and so is my connection with my grandson.
This wasn't a routine checkup. My 14-year-old son, Kerem, needed a complex laparoscopic procedure for a congenital diaphragmatic hernia discovered during a sports physical. Dr. Yolar's approach was a masterclass in collaborative care. She presented us with 3D imaging models, discussed the surgical plan in detail with Kerem present, answering his technical questions without condescension. Post-surgery, her follow-up was relentless—not just medical checks, but messages checking on his mood and recovery morale. She navigated the tricky waters of adolescent anxiety and major surgery with incredible finesse. The scar is minimal, and his confidence is fully restored.
