Patient Experience
A 22-year-old university student from a pastoral nomadic background developed mysterious abdominal pain after moving to the city for studies. Extensive gastroenterology workups were negative. Dr. Yetisgen identified visceral hypersensitivity related to circadian disruption and sensory overload. Treatment involved creating an urban adaptation of nomadic sleep-wake cycles combined with visceral manipulation, resolving symptoms within a month.
A 47-year-old transgender woman experienced worsening pelvic pain during gender-affirming hormone therapy that multiple specialists couldn't explain. Dr. Yetisgen identified a previously undocumented interaction between connective tissue changes and pre-existing endometriosis. She coordinated care with endocrinology to adjust protocols while implementing targeted nerve blocks, creating a new treatment pathway for similar cases.
A 70-year-old retired clockmaker with Parkinson's disease developed central pain syndrome unresponsive to standard approaches. Dr. Yetisgen designed a treatment using rhythmic auditory stimulation synchronized with his tremor frequency, combined with dorsal column stimulation programming that created 'neural counter-rhythms.' His pain decreased while fine motor control improved enough to repair watches again.
A 35-year-old wildfire firefighter had chronic burn scar neuropathic pain covering 40% of his back. Traditional scar management failed. Dr. Yetisgen developed a treatment combining fractional CO2 laser with real-time fMRI neurofeedback, teaching him to modulate pain processing while tissue regenerated. He returned to modified duty and helped develop better protective gear.
A 19-year-old musical prodigy with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome developed debilitating pain when playing violin. Specialists disagreed on treatment. Dr. Yetisgen created a dynamic bracing system using smart materials that stiffened during performance, combined with proprioceptive training based on musical scales. The patient resumed conservatory studies and composed a piece about pain modulation.
An 82-year-old retired archivist with advanced osteoporosis and multiple vertebral fractures had pain so severe she couldn't tolerate any touch. Dr. Yetisgen employed virtual reality distraction during gentle vertebroplasty, then used archival photograph immersion therapy to help her disassociate pain from movement. The patient began digitally cataloging her life's work from home, pain-controlled.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Asst. Prof. MD. Mehmet Akif Goktas. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
A 28-year-old pregnant woman with sickle cell disease developed a pain crisis at 32 weeks that threatened both lives. Standard treatments risked fetal complications. Dr. Yetisgen implemented a carefully titrated continuous regional anesthesia combined with fetal heart rate-synchronized breathing techniques, managing pain while maintaining pregnancy. She delivered a healthy baby at 37 weeks and provided a template for obstetric pain management in hematological disorders.
My 8-year-old daughter Elif fell during gymnastics and fractured her radial head. Dr. Hancerli was incredible, he explained everything to her using cartoon drawings of bones! Instead of a scary cast, he used a special pediatric splint that allowed some movement. At Medical Park Goztepe, they had a child life specialist who stayed with us. Three months later, her elbow has full range of motion. He even called us personally after her last X-ray to say she could return to sports. We've never seen a doctor connect with a child like that.
As a 72-year-old retired teacher with severe spinal stenosis, I'd been told by three surgeons my case was 'too complex' due to previous lumbar surgeries. Dr. Hancerli spent two hours reviewing my old MRI scans and proposed a novel minimally invasive decompression technique. The surgery at Medical Park Goztepe took 4 hours, I walked the next day. What amazed me was his follow-up: he gave me his assistant's direct line and responded to my weekend text about medication timing within 10 minutes. Six months later, I'm gardening again. His approach combines old-school dedication with cutting-edge technique.
Emergency case: I dislocated my shoulder AND fractured my scapula in a cycling accident on a Sunday evening. The ER at Medical Park Goztepe contacted Dr. Hancerli immediately, he came from a family dinner within 45 minutes. Instead of rushing to surgery, he performed a remarkable closed reduction under ultrasound guidance in the ER, avoiding an operation entirely. His emergency protocol included a unique nerve function check every hour for six hours. The custom shoulder brace he designed allowed early rehabilitation. Most impressive? He reviewed the helmet cam footage of my crash to understand the injury mechanism better.
Routine became remarkable: I came for what I thought was routine knee arthritis follow-up. Dr. Hancerli noticed subtle gait changes I hadn't mentioned and ordered a dynamic ultrasound. He discovered a rare synovial plica syndrome masquerading as arthritis. His treatment? Not surgery first, but a precise ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection into the exact millimeter of tissue. He filmed the procedure on the ultrasound screen and explained each layer. Then he designed a biomechanical retraining program with his physiotherapist. At my 3-month follow-up, he measured my improvement not just with scans but with a functional hop test. Turns out 'routine' visits aren't routine with him.
