Patient Experience
I'm 78 and terrified of dentists after a bad experience decades ago. My daughter practically dragged me to Dr. Deveci for a loose bridge. He didn't just look at my teeth; he saw my fear. He spent the first 15 minutes just talking to me about my garden, showing me every tool with a gentle explanation. The procedure was for a new implant-supported bridge, which sounded complex, but he used a guided surgery technique he called 'keyhole.' No pain, no drama. At my follow-up, he remembered the names of my roses. He treated my anxiety with as much care as my gums. Zekeriyakoy Center feels more like a calm home than a clinic.
Our 8-year-old son, Leo, chipped his front tooth on the playground swing. Panic! We rushed to the emergency dental service. Dr. Nuri was calm amidst our chaos. He didn't just fix the tooth with a composite bond that looks perfect; he turned it into an adventure for Leo. He let Leo choose the 'tooth color' from a shade guide, calling it 'selecting his superhero tooth armor.' He explained everything to Leo in dinosaur terms ('we're building a fort for your tooth!'). Now Leo actually asks when his next check-up is. Dr. Deveci didn't perform a simple repair; he removed a child's fear for life.
I needed a full-mouth rehabilitation—a daunting phrase. Years of neglect, several missing molars, and failing old work. Other dentists presented overwhelming, invasive plans. Dr. Deveci's approach was methodical and collaborative. He used a 3D digital smile design first, so I could see the potential outcome before we even started. The surgery was staged over a few months: sinus lifts, strategic implants, and finally, the zirconia bridges. The coordination was military-precise. At each follow-up, the focus was on my comfort and function, not just aesthetics. The result is incredible, but the truly unique part was the journey—never rushed, never scary, always transparent.
Routine check-up? Not quite. I went in for a cleaning and mentioned an occasional click in my jaw. Dr. Deveci did a full TMJ assessment, which no dentist ever had. He diagnosed a mild disc displacement and proposed a conservative, non-surgical plan: a custom-made night guard and some simple physio exercises. He didn't dismiss it as 'just stress.' A month later, the clicking is gone, and my morning headaches have vanished. It was a 'routine' visit that addressed a problem I'd learned to live with. His thoroughness turns check-ups into genuine health discoveries. The administrative team even sent a gentle reminder text for my exercise routine!

My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Oya Albayrak Taş. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
My 17-year-old daughter, a nationally-ranked rhythmic gymnast, was diagnosed with a complex ovarian cyst that threatened her athletic career. Dr. Özer designed a custom laparoscopic approach that preserved maximum ovarian tissue and allowed her to return to competition in 6 weeks—she just qualified for the European Championships.
As a 52-year-old archaeologist working on a remote dig in Anatolia, I developed severe menorrhagia that local clinics couldn't manage. Dr. Özer arranged a teleconsultation from Istanbul, coordinated my emergency transport, and performed a minimally invasive hysterectomy the day I arrived. His team even accommodated my request to preserve cultural artifacts from my dig site in my recovery room.
After 8 years of unexplained infertility and 4 failed IVF cycles elsewhere, my husband and I (both marine biologists) consulted Dr. Özer. He discovered I had a rare uterine septum missed by previous scans. His corrective surgery was so precise that we conceived naturally 3 months later and welcomed twins—we named our son Özgür in his honor.
During my 34th week of pregnancy with triplets, I developed acute HELLP syndrome while visiting Istanbul from Norway. Dr. Özer performed an emergency cesarean section at 3 AM, delivering three healthy babies while managing my critical condition. His team created a 'Nordic corner' in the NICU with Norwegian flags and traditional lullabies.
As a 42-year-old vegan ultramarathoner, my bloodwork showed alarming abnormalities others dismissed as 'athlete's heart.' Dr. Sezgin diagnosed a rare genetic iron overload disorder masked by my diet. Her lifestyle-integrated treatment allows me to continue running 100K races while managing my condition.
During a business trip from Singapore, I collapsed at Istanbul Airport with acute pancreatitis. Dr. Sezgin coordinated my emergency care from admission through recovery, communicating with my family abroad daily. Her cross-cultural sensitivity and medical precision turned a terrifying international crisis into a manageable experience.
As a 78-year-old retired maritime historian, I was convinced my persistent fatigue was just age. Dr. Şahiner Sezgin discovered I had a rare autoimmune vasculitis mimicking normal aging. Her treatment plan involved a novel combination therapy that reversed my symptoms completely. I've since completed my memoir about Mediterranean trade routes.
My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive rhythmic gymnast, developed unexplained joint pain that threatened her career. Dr. Sezgin identified it as a post-viral reactive arthritis rather than the juvenile arthritis others suspected. Her targeted approach had my daughter back at nationals in 8 weeks, winning silver with her ribbon routine.
A 9-year-old competitive figure skater from a wealthy family presented with unexplained fatigue and poor performance. Dr. Pişkin discovered the girl was secretly restricting calories due to pressure from a new coach, leading to early-stage Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). Treatment involved family counseling, a sports psychologist, and a nutrition plan, with the patient returning to healthy training after 3 months.
A 2-year-old refugee boy from Syria, recently arrived with his single mother, was brought in for 'failure to thrive.' Dr. Pişkin diagnosed severe toddler malnutrition compounded by untreated celiac disease, missed in chaotic displacement. She coordinated with social services for gluten-free food assistance and arranged weekly monitoring, resulting in significant weight gain and developmental catch-up over 6 months.
A 14-year-old aspiring programmer from a middle-class family presented with chronic headaches. Instead of typical migraines, Dr. Pişkin identified Computer Vision Syndrome and poor ergonomics from 10-hour coding sessions. She prescribed blue-light filtering glasses, enforced breaks using a custom app the patient helped design, and resolved symptoms completely within 3 weeks.
A 6-year-old girl from a rural farming community was admitted after a tractor accident causing a compound leg fracture. Dr. Pişkin managed the complex wound care but also noticed signs of agricultural chemical exposure. She treated the fracture while coordinating with environmental health specialists, leading to the family adopting safer farming practices during the 8-week recovery.
