Medical Park Goztepe Hospital Reviews

Our 16-year-old daughter, an aspiring competitive swimmer, developed exercise-induced hematuria that threatened her athletic career. Routine scans showed nothing, but Prof. Dr. Hacihamdioglu suspected something subtler. She ordered a highly specific genetic panel that revealed thin basement membrane disease, a condition often overlooked in adolescents. Instead of just restricting activity, she collaborated with a sports physician to design a modified training regimen, monitored her renal status with periodic urine tests aligned with her competition schedule, and provided documentation for her athletic federation. During our last visit, she reviewed our daughter's competition calendar and proactively adjusted her follow-up timing. This personalized approach allowed our daughter to continue swimming at an elite level while safely managing her condition. She treats the patient, not just the pathology.

My 82-year-old father, a retired ship captain with a 60-year smoking history, was admitted with severe COPD exacerbation and suspected lung nodules. Dr. Ceylan didn't just treat the CT scan; he treated the man. He spent 45 minutes explaining the complex interplay between emphysema and the benign granulomas in terms my father could grasp, using nautical metaphors about 'weathering storms in the lungs.' His multidisciplinary approach coordinating with cardiology for Dad's atrial fibrillation was seamless. What struck me most was his Friday evening visit just to show us the comparison scans from three years prior, proving the nodules hadn't changed. He gave us not just treatment, but peace of mind.

Our 7-year-old daughter Elif developed a mysterious persistent cough after what seemed like a simple cold. Three pediatricians called it 'post-viral irritation' but Dr. Ceylan actually got on the floor with her toy stethoscope and listened to her 'teddy bear's lungs' first. He diagnosed pediatric tracheomalacia through bronchoscopy with such gentleness that Elif asked when she could next visit 'the breathing professor.' His team created a custom asthma action plan with cartoon illustrations showing her lungs as little balloons. Six months later, her peak flow readings have improved 40%, and she's joining her first soccer team. He doesn't just see children; he speaks their language.

I arrived at Medical Park Göztepe's ER at 2 AM with what I thought was a severe asthma attack. Within minutes, Dr. Ceylan identified it as spontaneous pneumothorax, my right lung had collapsed. The calm urgency with which he directed the emergency thoracostomy was remarkable. While inserting the chest tube, he explained each step in real-time: 'Now you'll feel pressure, then relief as your lung re-expands.' His post-procedure follow-up was equally thorough; he personally reviewed my chest X-ray at 5 AM before his scheduled surgeries. What could have been traumatic felt like being guided by the most competent hands imaginable during a bodily crisis I didn't even understand was happening.

As a 45-year-old marathon runner with inexplicable declining performance, I expected routine spirometry. Instead, Dr. Ceylan discovered exercise-induced bronchoconstriction masked by my athletic physiology. His 'investigation' included analyzing my GPS running data against pollution indexes and having me replicate race conditions on a treadmill in his lab. The resulting personalized inhaler protocol, timed to my warm-up routine, added 12 minutes to my personal best within three months. Last week, he emailed me a recent study on high-altitude training adaptations, noting 'this might interest your Berlin Marathon preparation.' His approach transcends pulmonary medicine; it's about optimizing human potential through respiratory science.

As an 82-year-old with a complex history of diverticulitis, I had been dismissed by several doctors who attributed my persistent pain to 'normal aging.' Professor Bolukbas was the first to truly listen. He didn't just glance at my old scans; he ordered a specific, new-generation CT enterography at Medical Park Goztepe. He discovered a minute fistula that everyone else had missed. His explanation to my family was so clear, using simple diagrams. The laparoscopic procedure he performed was minimally invasive, I was walking the same evening. Six months later at my follow-up, he remembered my granddaughter's name. This isn't just treatment; it's dignified, meticulous care.

Our 7-year-old son, Leo, developed sudden, severe abdominal pain and refused to eat. The ER pediatrician suspected appendicitis, but Professor Bolukbas, who was consulted, noticed a subtle pattern in his bloodwork that didn't fit. He gently suggested an urgent but non-invasive abdominal ultrasound first, sparing Leo an unnecessary CT scan. He diagnosed mesenteric adenitis, a scary-sounding but often viral inflammation. He knelt by the hospital bed to talk to Leo directly, explaining the 'swollen lymph node warriors' in his tummy. His calm demeanor instantly soothed our panic. He coordinated with the pediatric team for a conservative treatment plan. We avoided surgery entirely. His ability to pivot from complex adult cases to a frightened child is extraordinary.

I arrived at Medical Park Goztepe as an emergency transfer at 2 AM with a bleeding duodenal ulcer, my hemoglobin critically low. The on-call team stabilized me, but Professor Bolukbas came in personally before dawn to perform the emergency endoscopy. The precision was breathtaking, he located the bleeding vessel, applied clips, and controlled the hemorrhage without needing emergency surgery. What followed was unique: instead of just sending me home with medication, he initiated a 'root-cause analysis.' He discovered my long-term use of a specific anti-inflammatory for back pain, which I never connected to my stomach. He collaborated with a pain specialist to find a safer alternative. This holistic approach to an acute crisis prevented a recurrence. He saved my life twice over.

My visit was for a routine screening colonoscopy, I'm 50 with no symptoms. Most specialists would delegate this. Professor Bolukbas performed the procedure himself. The prep instructions were the most detailed I've ever received, including a tailored diet chart. During the procedure, he found and removed three precancerous polyps (tubular adenomas) with a technique he called 'cold snare polypectomy,' which he explained minimizes bleeding risk. The post-procedure consultation wasn't rushed. He showed me the high-definition photos, explained the significance of each polyp's morphology, and gave me a personalized surveillance timeline, not just a standard 'come back in 5 years.' He turned a routine checkup into a potentially life-saving, educational masterclass in preventive care.

My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Prof. MD. Suheyla Apaydin. The hospital staff was also very supportive.

I was on vacation from Germany when I developed sudden, excruciating abdominal pain. The hotel called an ambulance, and I was rushed to Medical Park Goztepe's ER at 3 AM. Dr. Tarik Cevher was the surgeon on call. My Turkish is basic, but he explained my acute appendicitis situation in clear, calm English. He performed laparoscopic surgery within the hour. What struck me was his follow-up; he personally checked on me three times the next day, even drawing diagrams to show exactly what he had done. A tourist's nightmare turned into a testament to exceptional Turkish healthcare. Teşekkürler, Doctor.

My 8-year-old son, Ali, had a persistent lump on his neck that our pediatrician was concerned about. We were terrified it might be something serious. Dr. Cevher's clinic was full of nervous energy, but he immediately knelt to Ali's level, showed him the light on his pen, and called it a 'magic explorer.' He diagnosed a benign branchial cleft cyst but didn't dismiss our fears. He scheduled the surgery meticulously, explaining the delicate proximity to nerves in a way we could understand. The scar is virtually invisible. At the follow-up, he had a small toy car waiting for Ali. He treated my child like a person, not just a case.

As a 72-year-old with a complex history of diabetes and hypertension, my inguinal hernia repair was considered high-risk. Other surgeons hesitated. Dr. Cevher reviewed my file for a solid 20 minutes in silence during our first consultation. He then laid out a tailored plan: coordinating with my cardiologist, optimizing my meds for two weeks pre-op, and choosing a specific mesh and open technique he felt was safest for my tissue. The surgery was textbook. His resident told me later the Dr. was 'a craftsman in the theatre.' My recovery was smoother than I dared hope. This wasn't just surgery; it was masterful, holistic patient management.

I'm a 45-year-old teacher who needed a routine cholecystectomy. Nothing emergency, but the gallbladder attacks were debilitating. My experience with Dr. Cevher was defined by his profound respect for my autonomy. He presented three surgical approaches with honest pros and cons, laparoscopic, mini-laparotomy, even the timing. He said, 'You will live with the outcome, so you must be part of the decision.' He never rushed me. Post-surgery, he was blunt about the gas pain I'd feel and exactly how to manage it. No false promises, just clear, respectful expertise. It felt like a collaborative project for my health, and I've never felt better.

As a 72-year-old retired cartographer, my world was shrinking due to advanced cataracts that distorted my perception of depth and detail. Dr. Bayat didn't just perform surgery; he understood that restoring my vision meant restoring my ability to read maps and appreciate spatial relationships. His custom lens selection accounted for my specific visual needs, and now I can once again discern the subtle contour lines on topographic maps that had become blurred shadows.

My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Prof. MD. Abdulkadir Kocer. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
