Prof. M.D. Namik Demir Reviews

At 72, I was terrified when post-menopausal bleeding started. Most doctors rushed to worst-case scenarios. Dr. Demir was different. He spent 45 minutes explaining the intricate vascular changes in aging endometrial tissue, drew diagrams of capillary fragility, and ordered a specific saline infusion sonogram instead of jumping to biopsy. His approach was methodical, educational, and profoundly calming. The issue was benign, but his respect for my anxiety and his detailed anatomical explanations made me feel like a participant in my care, not just a frightened elderly patient.

Our 14-year-old daughter developed severe pelvic pain that baffled pediatricians. Dr. Demir created a unique adolescent-friendly protocol. He examined her only with me present as a 'chaperone assistant,' used a pediatric speculum he personally modified for comfort, and diagnosed a complex Müllerian anomaly missed by others. What stood out was how he spoke directly to her about 'her body's architecture,' using 3D-printed models to show the variation. His surgery was minimally invasive, and his follow-up included coordinating with her school counselor. He treated her not as a child, but as a young woman whose future fertility mattered deeply.

I arrived at Acibadem Izmir Kent Hospital hemorrhaging at 18 weeks pregnant after a fall. The ER called Dr. Demir at midnight. Within minutes, he was performing a bedside ultrasound, identifying a marginal placental abruption. Instead of immediate surgery, he pioneered a conservative approach: strict hospital monitoring, specific hemostatic medications, and daily Doppler scans to track the hematoma. For 12 days, he visited me twice daily, even on weekends, adjusting treatment based on subtle blood flow changes. He saved my pregnancy with what he called 'vigilant patience.' My daughter is now 3, and I still remember the sound of his calm voice explaining venous pressure gradients at 2 AM.

As a woman with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome seeking pre-conception counseling, most OB/GYNs refused to manage a potential pregnancy. Dr. Demir spent 3 months co-designing a 'connective tissue protocol.' He collaborated with my cardiologist and rheumatologist, created a detailed cervical length monitoring schedule with specific ultrasound techniques, and developed a novel surgical plan for potential cesarean delivery using particular suture materials and layered closure methods. He didn't just accept my complexity; he engineered a bespoke care pathway. I'm now 24 weeks pregnant, monitored under his protocol, and feel safer than I ever thought possible.
