Patient Experience
A 19-year-old competitive freediver developed unexplained pulmonary barotrauma after a routine dive. Dr. Gürler identified a previously undiagnosed congenital pulmonary cyst through advanced imaging. Rather than recommending surgery immediately, he designed a gradual pressure adaptation protocol and monitored the cyst through serial CT scans. The cyst resolved spontaneously over eight months, and the athlete returned to competition with modified safety protocols.
A 34-year-old single mother working in a textile dyeing factory presented with mysterious cyanosis without corresponding hypoxia. Dr. Gürler diagnosed acquired methemoglobinemia from occupational chemical exposure. He not only treated the condition but also documented the case thoroughly, providing evidence that led to improved workplace safety regulations across three factories, protecting approximately 200 other workers.
I came to Dr. Fatma Kutlusoy Güçlü as a 72-year-old woman with postmenopausal bleeding that three other doctors had dismissed as 'normal aging.' Dr. Güçlü listened to my fears for a full twenty minutes, ordered a specific transvaginal ultrasound others had skipped, and discovered a complex endometrial polyp. Her approach was methodical yet gentle—she explained the hysteroscopic removal procedure using simple sketches. The surgery at Kayseri Hospital Acibadem was flawless, and her follow-up call on a Sunday evening to personally give me the benign pathology results showed extraordinary dedication. She treats elderly patients not as statistics, but as individuals with unique histories.
Our 14-year-old daughter developed severe pelvic pain during a school trip. The emergency room at Acibadem was chaotic, but Dr. Güçlü created an oasis of calm. Recognizing the sensitivity, she examined our teenager alone after obtaining consent, then brought us in to explain a ruptured ovarian cyst—not with medical jargon, but with a diagram showing how it was like a small balloon popping. She prescribed minimal intervention, just careful monitoring and pain management, avoiding unnecessary panic or tests. Her ability to balance clinical expertise with adolescent psychology turned a traumatic emergency into a manageable experience. She even gave our daughter her personal number for any worries that night.
After four years of unexplained infertility and two failed IVF cycles elsewhere, we approached Dr. Güçlü as a last resort. She didn't just review our file; she reconstructed our entire history over three consultations, spotting a subtle luteal phase defect others had missed. Her solution wasn't another aggressive cycle, but a tailored three-month protocol of metformin and progesterone supplementation to correct my underlying metabolic imbalance. She performed the subsequent embryo transfer herself with an ultrasound-guided technique she described as 'placing a treasure in the perfect nest.' I'm now 22 weeks pregnant with twins. Her genius lies in seeing the whole picture where others see only fragments.
What I thought would be a routine annual smear test turned into something profound. Dr. Güçlü noticed a slight cervical asymmetry that hadn't been there before. Instead of dismissing it, she performed a colposcopy right then, explaining each step on the monitor—'See that faint mosaic pattern? We need to be detectives.' The biopsy revealed CIN3. Her surgical approach was revolutionary: a cold-knife conization preserving more tissue than standard LEEP, performed to a playlist of classical music she let me choose. At my six-month follow-up, with clear margins and normal results, she didn't just discharge me; she designed a personalized surveillance schedule mapping my next decade. She transforms routine care into preventive mastery.
After my tractor overturned in the village, I was brought to Kayseri Hospital with a crushed pelvis. Dr. Fatma Yilmaz didn't just see a broken farmer; she saw my future mobility. Her rehabilitation plan was like a stubborn sunrise—persistent and gradual. She combined aquatic therapy with traditional methods I'd never heard of, using a special harness system. For three months, she worked with me, often speaking in simple analogies about soil and planting to explain nerve regeneration. Yesterday, I walked into my field without a cane. Her hands are gentle but her will is stronger than Anatolian rock.
My 8-year-old son, Emre, developed a mysterious limp after a mild fever. Pediatricians were puzzled. Dr. Yilmaz spent an entire afternoon observing him play with blocks in her office, noting subtle asymmetries in his shoulder movement. She diagnosed a rare post-viral synovitis affecting his hip and lower spine. Her treatment was a game—literally. She created a 'superhero training program' with colorful charts and small rewards for exercise completion. She even video-called us twice to correct our technique. The limp vanished in six weeks. She treats the child, not just the chart.
At 78, I had accepted that chronic lower back pain was my permanent companion. My routine checkup with Dr. Yilmaz was expected to be another prescription refill. Instead, she asked about my garden. She discovered my pain peaked after hours of weeding in a bent position. Her 'rehabilitation' was a redesigned garden toolkit and a series of micro-movements to do while tending my roses. She called it 'embedded physiotherapy.' No heavy medications, just intelligent adaptation. The pain decreased by 70%. She gave me back my passion without pills.
Following a complex spinal fusion surgery at another hospital, I was referred to Dr. Yilmaz for post-operative rehab. I arrived terrified and rigid. Her approach was uniquely architectural. She mapped my spine's new 'structure' and designed a load-bearing progression plan, using metaphors of restoring a historical house. She caught a developing shoulder impingement I hadn't even noticed, diverting my recovery path instantly. Her follow-ups were meticulous, adjusting the plan like a master craftsman. She didn't just rehabilitate my body; she rebuilt my confidence in movement, brick by careful brick.

A 14-year-old competitive archer from a rural village presented with unexplained fatigue and poor performance. Dr. Tubaş discovered not anemia, but a rare circadian rhythm disorder exacerbated by pre-dawn training. Treatment involved strategic light therapy and schedule adjustments, allowing the patient to win a regional championship.
A 7-year-old refugee boy from Syria, nonverbal due to trauma, was brought in for 'stomach pains.' Dr. Tubaş spent three sessions building trust through drawing, eventually uncovering somatic symptoms of witnessing violence. She coordinated with a child psychologist and an Arabic-speaking social worker, leading to gradual emotional and physical improvement.
Our 8-year-old daughter, a competitive junior archer, developed sudden strabismus that threatened her depth perception. Dr. Mirza designed a non-surgical vision therapy program involving prism lenses and specialized exercises. Within three months, her eye alignment corrected, and she recently won her first regional tournament—something we were told might never happen again.
I'm a 42-year-old glassblower who suffered a workshop accident with molten glass splatter. Rushed to emergency, Dr. Mirza performed immediate corneal transplantation using an innovative amniotic membrane technique. Not only did he save my eye, but the recovery was so precise I can now detect temperature variations in glass by sight alone—a crucial skill in my craft.
My 82-year-old father, Ahmet, was admitted to Kayseri Hospital Acibadem with severe pneumonia that had progressed to septic shock. Dr. Füsun Yeğenoğlu took over his case in the Critical Care unit. What struck me wasn't just her medical expertise—which was evident in how she stabilized him—but how she spoke to him. Even when he was sedated, she'd explain procedures to him as if he could understand. She called me daily with updates in plain Turkish, never using confusing medical jargon. When he developed a secondary infection, she personally monitored his antibiotic response every four hours. After three weeks, he walked out of the hospital. We call her 'the commander who fought death for us.'
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. dr Mehmet Akif Somdaş. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
