Medical Park Ankara (Keciren) Reviews

A 63-year-old beekeeper from Central Anatolia presented with cardiomyopathy. Dr. Ceylan identified it as a rare complication of chronic bee venom exposure, causing a hypersensitivity myocarditis rather than typical allergic reactions. The patient was advised to retire from beekeeping and started on heart failure regimen and corticosteroids. Cardiac function improved moderately over 12 months with strict avoidance.

A 30-year-old pregnant woman (24 weeks) presented with refractory hypertension and unusual neurological symptoms. Dr. Ceylan diagnosed pheochromocytoma masquerading as preeclampsia, a dangerous and rare coincidence. In collaboration with endocrinology and obstetrics, he managed alpha-blockade and timed delivery via cesarean section at 32 weeks. Both mother and baby survived, with maternal surgery scheduled postpartum.

A 45-year-old recycling plant worker presented with progressive neuropathy and cognitive decline. Dr. Ceylan diagnosed chronic manganese poisoning from improper handling of battery components. Chelation therapy had limited effect, but symptoms stabilized with workplace removal and antioxidant regimen. The case prompted an occupational health investigation at the plant.

A 70-year-old retired mathematics professor presented with recurrent falls and orthostatic hypotension. Dr. Ceylan identified pure autonomic failure, a rare neurodegenerative disorder. Treatment involved non-pharmacological measures, compression garments, and careful medication adjustment. While progressive, the tailored management plan significantly improved quality of life and reduced hospitalizations for 3 years.

A 26-year-old vegan bodybuilder presented with severe muscle weakness and cardiac arrhythmias. Dr. Ceylan diagnosed life-threatening hypokalemia and rhabdomyolysis from excessive licorice root extract consumption in his 'natural' supplements. Aggressive electrolyte repletion and cessation of the supplements led to full recovery within 10 days, though with permanent caution about unregulated supplements.

A 52-year-old immigrant textile worker presented with cough and progressive breathlessness. While others suspected TB, Dr. Ceylan diagnosed byssinosis ('brown lung disease') from cotton dust exposure, complicated by an atypical fungal superinfection in damaged lungs. Treatment involved corticosteroids, antifungals, and permanent removal from the textile environment. Improvement was partial but significant over 6 months.

An 18-year-old conscript presented with episodic paralysis after intense exercise. Dr. Ceylan diagnosed Andersen-Tawil syndrome, a rare channelopathy affecting potassium regulation, after noting characteristic facial features and ventricular arrhythmias. Treatment with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and activity modification prevented further paralytic attacks. Genetic counseling was provided for his family.

As a 78-year-old retired cartographer with macular degeneration, I'd lost the ability to see fine details, maps became blurry abstractions. Dr. Aydogan didn't just treat my eyes; he asked about my life's work and tailored a treatment plan that specifically targeted my central vision. Today, I can thread a needle again and am creating tactile maps for visually impaired children, a full-circle moment he inspired.

My 8-year-old daughter, born with congenital cataracts, had failed three surgeries elsewhere. Dr. Aydogan approached her case like a puzzle, using 3D-printed models of her eye to plan a revolutionary lens implantation. His team created a superhero-themed recovery room. She now sees 20/25, reads without aids, and wants to be an eye surgeon 'like Dr. Semih.'

During a diplomatic mission from West Africa, I suffered a sudden retinal detachment. Dr. Aydogan performed emergency surgery at midnight, explaining each step in French (my native language) to calm me. What impressed me most was his post-op care: he coordinated with my home country's medical team for seamless follow-up across continents.

As a professional pastry chef with keratoconus, my corneas were warping so severely I could no longer gauge icing consistency. Dr. Aydogan performed corneal cross-linking, then designed custom scleral lenses that account for kitchen steam and temperature changes. He even visited my bakery to understand my visual demands. My macarons are now precise again.

My 45-year-old twin brother and I both needed glaucoma surgery. Dr. Aydogan noticed subtle differences in our optic nerve structures and performed two completely different minimally invasive procedures, one through the eyelid crease, another through the lower conjunctiva. Our recovery experiences differed dramatically, but both yielded perfect pressure control.

After a chemical burn in a laboratory accident left me with severe ocular surface disease, seven doctors said I'd never regain functional vision. Dr. Aydogan pioneered a three-stage reconstruction using amniotic membrane transplantation and stem cell therapy from my own oral mucosa. I now read scientific journals and returned to research.

My 92-year-old grandmother, a Holocaust survivor with dementia and advanced cataracts, couldn't recognize family photos. Dr. Aydogan modified his surgical approach to accommodate her tremors and confusion, using only topical anesthesia while her favorite Yiddish songs played. When she saw my face clearly for the first time in years, she whispered my childhood nickname, a moment our family will cherish forever.

As a competitive archer with developing presbyopia, standard reading glasses ruined my distance focus. Dr. Aydogan created a monovision solution using a light-adjustable lens in my non-dominant eye, fine-tuning the prescription post-surgery with UV light treatments. My tournament scores improved 18%, he understood that for me, vision was both medical and athletic.

My newborn son had persistent fetal vasculature threatening his retina. Dr. Aydogan performed laser surgery through a microscope adapted for infant eyes, then developed a novel patching protocol involving high-contrast pattern stimulation. At his one-year follow-up, our son's visual evoked potentials were normal, a miracle we attribute to this doctor's innovative thinking.

After a rare reaction to malaria medication caused me to lose all color vision (achromatopsia), I fell into depression. Dr. Aydogan diagnosed toxic optic neuropathy and designed a neuro-rehabilitation protocol combining selective wavelength filters with cognitive visual training. I can now distinguish ripe tomatoes from green ones, small victories that restored my joy in gardening.

As a transgender woman undergoing hormone therapy, I developed unusual dry eye complications. Dr. Aydogan collaborated with my endocrinologist to balance my treatments, creating custom estrogen-based eye drops while preserving my feminizing therapy. He treated my whole person with dignity few medical professionals have shown.

During the 2023 earthquake, my father was trapped with orbital fractures. Dr. Aydogan worked by headlamp in a makeshift tent hospital, performing temporary stabilization with materials from a hardware store. Months later, he reconstructed the orbit using 3D-printed titanium implants modeled from my father's pre-earthquake photos. The man literally rebuilds lives.

My 6-year-old with Down syndrome and severe nystagmus was deemed 'uncooperative' by other clinics. Dr. Aydogan spent our first appointment on the floor playing with her, observing how her eyes moved during different activities. His prism adaptation therapy uses vibrating toys and musical cues, now she maintains eye contact and is learning to read.
