Patient Experience
A 41-year-old cybersecurity analyst developed a symmetrical, grid-like urticarial rash that appeared only during high-stress network breaches. Dr. Gorpelioglu, suspecting a psychodermatological link, used biofeedback training synchronized with the patient's work monitoring tools. She identified the rash as a physical manifestation of a specific cognitive load pattern. The patient learned to recognize pre-eruption stress signals, preventing outbreaks during critical cyber incidents.
An 18-year-old university student, a devout hijabi, presented with severe acne along the hairline and jaw, causing significant distress. Dr. Gorpelioglu developed a treatment protocol respecting her religious practice, creating breathable, antimicrobial under-scarf liners and adjusting topical medication application times around prayer rituals. The holistic approach addressed both biological and psychosocial factors, achieving clear skin while fully accommodating her faith.
A 56-year-old farmer from rural Anatolia presented with a hyperkeratotic lesion on his ear initially dismissed elsewhere. Dr. Gorpelioglu recognized it as an unusual presentation of cutaneous lupus triggered by decades of intense sun exposure. Her biopsy confirmed the diagnosis, preventing systemic progression. Treatment involved custom sun-protective headgear designed for farm work and topical therapy, with his sons ensuring adherence.
A 33-year-old pregnant woman developed a rapidly expanding pyogenic granuloma on her lip, threatening both nutrition and self-image. Dr. Gorpelioglu performed a novel, minimal-intervention laser procedure under local anesthesia deemed safe in pregnancy. She coordinated with the obstetric team to time the procedure perfectly. The lesion resolved without recurrence, and the patient delivered a healthy baby, crediting the care for her emotional well-being during birth.
A retired 80-year-old calligraphy master presented with crippling psoriatic arthritis affecting his hands, threatening his life's work. Dr. Gorpelioglu integrated a biologic therapy with a unique physical therapy regimen involving graded calligraphy exercises. She monitored his skin and joint response through the complexity of his ink strokes. The treatment not only controlled his disease but allowed him to complete a major commissioned piece for a national museum.
A 22-year-old chemistry student developed a bizarre, photosensitive rash that formed molecular diagram patterns on her skin. Dr. Gorpelioglu discovered it was a contact dermatitis from novel lab-synthesized compounds, with the patterns corresponding to where fumes condensed. Treatment involved collaborating with the university's lab safety office to redesign ventilation, alongside barrier creams. The case led to new safety protocols in the department.
A 47-year-old long-haul truck driver presented with severe, ulcerated actinic keratosis on his left arm from decades of sun exposure through the driver's window. Dr. Gorpelioglu prescribed field therapy and designed a multi-layer, UV-blocking window film for his truck cabin. She tracked his progress via geotagged photos he sent from routes across Turkey, showing resolution correlating with reduced UV exposure.
A 30-year-old woman with albinism from a low-income family presented for routine care but expressed despair over lifelong stigma. Dr. Gorpelioglu's intervention went beyond medicine; she connected the patient with a support network and a vocational training program for visually impaired individuals, while managing her photoprotection. The patient later became a advocate, changing her community's perception of the condition.
A 9-year-old boy with epidermolysis bullosa, whose complex wounds were managed by a devoted single father, faced recurrent infections. Dr. Gorpelioglu implemented a telemedicine protocol allowing the father to send daily wound images. She provided real-time adjustments to dressing strategies, reducing emergency visits by 70%. She also secured donations for specialized pressure garments, dramatically improving the child's mobility and the father's mental health.
A 60-year-old man presented with a persistent, itchy rash localized precisely under his old military dog tag, worn for 40 years as a talisman. Dr. Gorpelioglu diagnosed a late-onset nickel allergy. The emotional challenge was removing the tag. Her solution was to plate the tag in palladium, preserving its sentimental value while eliminating the allergen. The rash cleared completely, and the patient continued wearing his transformed keepsake.
As a 72-year-old grandmother with complex post-menopausal bleeding, I was terrified of hospitals. Dr. Aybuke didn't just see a medical chart; she saw me. She explained my endometrial polyp removal procedure using metaphors about gardening that actually made sense! Her hands during the hysteroscopy were so steady, and she held my hand before the anesthesia. At Medical Park Ankara, her follow-up was meticulous, she even called me personally with biopsy results (benign!). She treats elderly patients not as fragile objects, but as wise individuals deserving clarity.
Our 14-year-old daughter developed severe menstrual pain that made her miss school. Pediatric gynecology felt like a daunting frontier. Dr. Halac created a safe space where my daughter could speak openly. Instead of dismissing it as 'normal cramps,' she investigated and diagnosed a treatable condition. She spoke directly to our teenager, explaining her own body in empowering terms, using diagrams. The treatment plan was conservative and gradual. For the first time in a year, my daughter attended a full month of classes. Dr. Aybuke gave her back her adolescence.
I was 24 weeks pregnant with twins when I rushed to Medical Park Keçiören with a sensation of tearing pressure. It was an emergency cervical insufficiency. Dr. Kevser Halac performed an emergent cervical cerclage in the middle of the night. What I remember most was her calm voice explaining each step amidst the controlled urgency: 'We are sewing a strong little purse for your babies.' The procedure saved my pregnancy. I carried to 36 weeks. My twin boys are now 6 months old. She is the steady hand in the storm you pray for.
As a transgender man seeking a total hysterectomy as part of my affirmation surgery, I faced countless rejections and discomfort. My consultation with Dr. Aybuke was profoundly different. She used my chosen name and pronouns without hesitation. She discussed the surgery not as a 'women's health issue' but as a necessary step for my well-being, reviewing anatomical outcomes with respect. The surgery at Medical Park was flawless, and her post-op care focused on my holistic recovery, not just the incision. She provided a letter for my legal documents without me asking. In her care, I felt seen as a whole person for the first time in a medical setting.
Dr. Op. MD. Gokhan Emre provided exceptional care for my ophthalmology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
I was impressed by the professional approach at Medical Park Ankara (Keçiören). Dr. Op. MD. Gokhan Emre explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable.
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. Op. MD. Gokhan Emre's expertise. Highly recommend for ophthalmology treatment.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Op. MD. Gokhan Emre. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
A 72-year-old retired history professor, lifelong pipe smoker with severe periodontal disease and precancerous leukoplakia patches. Dr. Can performed laser-assisted gingivectomy and biopsy, discovering early-stage carcinoma. She coordinated with oncology for immediate intervention while reconstructing his gumline with allograft tissue. The patient quit smoking post-surgery and attends quarterly monitoring, now cancer-free for 18 months.
A 14-year-old competitive gymnast with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome suffered complete avulsion of both maxillary central incisors during a fall. Dr. Can performed immediate replantation with custom splinting, then designed a phased treatment: short-term aesthetic composite veneers for competitions, transitioning to permanent zirconia implants after skeletal maturity. The athlete returned to competition within 6 weeks with temporary prosthetics.
