Patient Experience
After 12 years of unexplained infertility and three failed IVF attempts elsewhere, we came to Dr. İhsan Atabay as our last hope. His approach was completely different—he didn't just look at my charts, but spent an hour asking about my lifestyle, stress levels, and even my childhood health history. He discovered a previously missed mild thyroid issue and a subtle uterine septum. His surgical correction was minimally invasive, and he coordinated with an endocrinologist. Today, I'm holding my 3-month-old daughter. Dr. Atabay doesn't just treat symptoms; he finds root causes. The entire team at Kent Medical Center Bayraklı supported us through the emotional rollercoaster.
I'm 68 and was terrified when post-menopausal bleeding started. My previous doctor dismissed it, but my daughter insisted on a second opinion. Dr. Atabay listened without interruption, then performed a hysteroscopy himself instead of delegating it. He found and removed precancerous polyps in a single procedure. What stood out was his manner—he explained everything in Turkish with such calm clarity, holding my hand when I got anxious. His follow-up protocol is meticulous; I've had two check-ups since, and he remembers personal details about my grandchildren. He turned a frightening emergency into manageable care.
As a competitive gymnast at 16, my irregular periods were affecting my training. Most gynecologists just prescribed birth control, but Dr. Atabay took a holistic view. He ordered specific hormone tests related to athletic stress, consulted with a sports nutritionist, and created a cycle-tracking plan that worked with my competition schedule. He respected my concerns about medication side effects and found natural regulation methods first. Now my cycles are regular without strong hormones, and my performance has improved. He treats teenagers like intelligent partners in their care, not just children.
My wife developed sudden severe preeclampsia at 32 weeks. The midnight rush to Kent Medical Center Bayraklı was chaotic, but Dr. Atabay's presence changed everything. He managed the emergency delivery with astonishing precision, explaining each step to me in the corner despite the crisis. Our son needed NICU care, but Dr. Atabay visited him daily, coordinating with neonatologists. For six weeks postpartum, he monitored my wife's recovery from HELLP syndrome like a detective, catching a liver complication early. This wasn't just obstetric care; it was lifesaving crisis management followed by relentless protective follow-up.
