M.D. Mehmethan Turan Reviews

My 8-year-old son, Ali, developed a persistent cough after what seemed like a simple cold. Our local pediatrician was concerned about possible asthma. We were referred to Dr. Turan at Kayseri Acibadem. From the moment we entered his office, he had this incredible way of connecting with children. He didn't just talk to me; he knelt down, showed Ali his stethoscope, and let him listen to his own heartbeat first. His diagnosis was precise—exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, not full asthma. He created a simple, game-like breathing exercise plan for Ali and explained everything with drawings. Six months later, Ali is playing football without coughing. Dr. Turan treated my son with the care of a grandfather and the expertise of a top specialist.

As a 72-year-old retired teacher with a 40-year smoking history, I was terrified when the CT scan showed a suspicious nodule. Dr. Mehmethan Turan didn't sugarcoat it, but his calm, methodical approach was my anchor. He walked me through every possible scenario in my follow-up visits, using clear diagrams of my lungs. He coordinated a complex, minimally invasive VATS biopsy, explaining it wasn't just about removing tissue but preserving my lung function. The wait for pathology was agony, but he called me personally with the benign result. He's since helped me quit smoking for good. He didn't just treat a nodule; he gave me back my future and my peace of mind.

It was 2 AM when severe chest pain and breathlessness struck. The ER at Kayseri Acibadem suspected a pulmonary issue and called Dr. Turan. He arrived within 20 minutes, looking focused but utterly calm. I was in panic, thinking it was my heart. He quickly assessed me, ordered a specific contrast CT, and diagnosed a spontaneous pneumothorax—a collapsed lung. He explained the urgent need for a chest tube right there in the ER, talking me through each step as it happened. His confidence was contagious. The procedure was uncomfortable, but his steady hands and clear instructions made it bearable. He followed up twice daily during my hospital stay. In an emergency, you want a doctor like him: decisive, skilled, and profoundly human.

I'm a 45-year-old baker, and for years I dismissed my chronic morning cough and fatigue as 'just the flour dust.' During a routine company health checkup, the spirometry results were abnormal, and I was sent to Dr. Turan. This wasn't an emergency, but he treated it with serious investigative rigor. He asked detailed questions about my oven types, ventilation, and even the flour brands I used. He diagnosed occupational hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a lung inflammation from repeated dust inhalation. His plan wasn't just medication; it was a lifestyle redesign—specific masks, workshop ventilation changes, and a monitoring schedule. He turned a routine consult into a life-changing intervention. I breathe easier now, in every sense of the word, thanks to his holistic approach.
