Medical Park Goztepe Hospital Reviews

The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. Spec. MD. Sema Kaymaz Tahra's expertise. Highly recommend for rheumatology treatment.

My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Spec. MD. Sema Kaymaz Tahra. The hospital staff was also very supportive.

I'm a 72-year-old retired teacher who had been struggling with unexplained weight loss and extreme fatigue for months. My local doctor kept dismissing it as 'old age.' When my daughter insisted I see a specialist, we found Dr. Kaya. He didn't just glance at my charts, he spent 45 minutes asking about everything from my sleep patterns to changes in my sense of taste. He discovered my sodium levels were dangerously low. His diagnosis: SIADH, a condition my previous doctor had missed completely. His treatment plan was gradual and careful, no aggressive interventions that could shock my system. Six months later, I'm gardening again. He treats me like a person, not a chart number.

Our 8-year-old son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after a terrifying emergency room visit. The pediatric endocrinologist was on vacation, so we were referred to Dr. Kaya. We expected him to be too 'adult-focused,' but he knelt right down to our son's eye level. He explained insulin using a video game analogy, 'Your pancreas is like a character that stopped working, so we're giving you a power-up.' He created a color-coded chart for our son and even showed him how to use the glucose monitor on a teddy bear first. When our son cried about birthday cake, Dr. Kaya worked with a dietitian to create a 'cake day plan.' He transformed our family's panic into manageable routine.

As a 42-year-old competitive cyclist, I noticed my performance plummeting and developed unusual heart palpitations. Multiple cardiologists found nothing wrong. Dr. Kaya, during what I thought would be a routine hormone check, noticed subtle thyroid nodules others had overlooked. He ordered a specific ultrasound protocol and discovered papillary thyroid cancer, early stage. What impressed me most was his surgical coordination: he brought in a surgeon who specialized in nerve-sparing thyroidectomies for athletes. Post-surgery, he designed my hormone replacement to match my metabolic needs for endurance training. I'm back racing, and he monitors my thyroglobulin levels with the precision of a sports scientist. He saw the athlete, not just the cancer.

I arrived at Medical Park Göztepe in crisis, severe hypercalcemia with confusion and kidney impairment. The emergency team stabilized me, but the underlying cause was elusive. Dr. Kaya took over my case at 10 PM. He suspected a rare parathyroid tumor that wasn't showing on standard scans. He ordered a 4D-CT scan that others hadn't considered. When it revealed the tiny adenoma, he didn't just schedule surgery; he spent days correcting my calcium levels first to make surgery safer. During follow-up, he discovered the tumor was part of a genetic syndrome (MEN1) and screened my entire family. My brother was found to have early-stage pancreatic tumors. Dr. Kaya didn't just fix a crisis, he potentially saved multiple lives with his detective work.

As a 72-year-old retired archaeology professor, I collapsed during a lecture due to a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Dr. Yilmaz's team performed an emergency endovascular repair in the middle of the night. What struck me was how she calmly explained the procedure to my panicked family in the waiting room while simultaneously directing the trauma team. Her ability to manage both the medical crisis and human anxiety was extraordinary. I'm now back to writing my monograph on Byzantine artifacts.

My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, suffered a complex pelvic fracture during a training accident. Dr. Yilmaz coordinated with pediatric specialists but personally managed the emergency stabilization. She didn't just see a fracture; she recognized an athlete and designed a recovery plan that considered both healing and future flexibility. Six months later, my daughter is back in the gym, and Dr. Yilmaz still checks in with our physiotherapist.

I'm a 34-year-old marine biologist who was spearfishing when I suffered a near-fatal arterial gas embolism. Rushed to Medical Park Goztepe, Dr. Yilmaz immediately recognized the rare condition and initiated hyperbaric treatment while managing neurological symptoms. Her knowledge of diving medicine saved my brain function. She later reviewed my dive logs to understand what happened, treating me as a collaborator in my own care.

Our 19-year-old son, an exchange student from Norway, was in a motorcycle accident with multiple trauma. Dr. Yilmaz not only saved his life but navigated the complexity of international insurance, contacted our embassy, and arranged video calls with us in Oslo before we could travel. She treated our cultural anxiety as seriously as his physical injuries, creating a bridge between medical systems.

As a 41-year-old concert pianist, I developed necrotizing fasciitis in my right arm after a minor cut. Dr. Yilmaz performed emergency debridement but worked meticulously to preserve nerve pathways critical for my profession. She consulted with a musician's medical specialist during my recovery. Today I can still perform Chopin études, thanks to her precision and understanding that my arm wasn't just tissue but my livelihood.

An 82-year-old grandmother with advanced dementia and recurrent aspiration pneumonia was brought by conflicted family members debating feeding tube placement. Dr. Uslu facilitated a family conference, introduced compensatory swallowing strategies and upright positioning protocols, and arranged home health support, preventing further hospitalizations while honoring patient comfort.

My 83-year-old mother with dementia fell and suffered an acute subdural hematoma. Dr. Yilmaz managed her neurosurgical emergency while accounting for her cognitive state, using gentle touch and simplified explanations even in crisis. She trained the nursing staff on dementia-aware post-op care. Mom recovered with minimal psychological trauma, which for dementia patients is as miraculous as the physical healing.

I'm a 28-year-old software engineer who developed sudden cardiac arrest while working remotely in Istanbul. Dr. Yilmaz's team performed therapeutic hypothermia alongside advanced cardiac life support. She later analyzed my device data to identify a previously undiagnosed electrical abnormality. Her tech-savvy approach to emergency medicine turned a catastrophic event into a preventable condition diagnosis.

Our 6-year-old twins ingested toxic mushrooms they foraged in a park. Dr. Yilmaz managed dual pediatric poisonings with different symptom presentations, coordinating with toxicology while comforting two terrified children. She created a child-friendly decontamination protocol and later worked with the municipality to identify and remove the fungal species from public spaces.

As a 55-year-old mountain guide, I suffered severe hypothermia and frostbite after a climbing accident. Dr. Yilmaz used controlled rewarming techniques I'd never seen, preserving tissue I'd resigned to losing. She understood altitude medicine and consulted with wilderness rescue teams about my case. I've regained 95% function in my hands, essential for my profession.

My 45-year-old husband, a war journalist, was brought in with penetrating trauma from shrapnel. Dr. Yilmaz managed damage control surgery while accounting for his previous combat-related injuries and PTSD. She created a trauma-informed care environment that prevented psychological retraumatization. Her holistic approach to emergency care considered his entire history, not just the current wound.

I'm a 31-year-old pregnant woman (32 weeks) who developed amniotic fluid embolism during labor. Dr. Yilmaz led a multidisciplinary team that performed an emergency C-section while managing my cardiorespiratory collapse. She saved both me and my daughter, then monitored us for rare postpartum complications for weeks. She remembered my daughter's name in every follow-up.

Our 17-year-old daughter, a ballet dancer, developed compartment syndrome after an unnoticed injury. Dr. Yilmaz recognized the subtle presentation and performed emergency fasciotomy, preserving muscle function critical for dance. She designed a recovery protocol with input from performing arts medicine specialists. Our daughter will dance professionally next season.

As a 63-year-old rare book conservator, I suffered a severe anaphylactic reaction to a restoration chemical. Dr. Yilmaz stabilized me, then worked with toxicologists to identify the exact compound. She contacted my workshop to ensure no other conservators were exposed. Her investigation extended beyond my body to my professional environment.
