Patient Experience
My 14-year-old daughter, Elif, has a complex congenital heart condition that requires meticulous, lifelong management. We've seen many specialists who focus solely on the echocardiograms. Dr. Almila is different. During our routine checkup, she spent the first 15 minutes talking to Elif about school, her friends, and the anxiety of being a teenager with a medical history. She then seamlessly connected those feelings to the physiological data. She adjusted medication not just based on numbers, but on Elif's quality of life. She sees the whole person, not just the pediatric cardiology file. It's a profound and rare kind of care.
As a first-time mother, I brought my 6-month-old, Zeynep, for her routine vaccinations. I expected a quick in-and-out. Dr. Bulun turned it into a masterclass in infant development. She noticed Zeynep favoring one side during tummy time, something I'd completely missed. She didn't alarm me; she got on the floor with a toy and demonstrated gentle exercises. She explained the connection between motor skills and future cognitive development. The vaccination was almost an afterthought. She gave me not just medical care, but the confidence and tools to be a better parent. This was preventive medicine at its most beautiful.
My 82-year-old father, who has dementia, was hospitalized with severe pneumonia. His pediatrician? It sounds unusual, but Dr. Bulun has been his doctor since he was a boy, and he trusts no one else. In his confusion, he kept asking for 'Dr. Almila.' The hospital arranged a consultation. She came, sat by his bed, held his hand, and spoke to him like he was the 10-year-old boy she once treated for a broken arm. She coordinated with his geriatric team, translating his childhood medical history into context for his current immune response. It was a bridge across a lifetime of care. Medicine is science, but what she provided was pure, unwavering humanity.
My 4-year-old daughter suddenly stopped hearing properly after a bad cold. We went to several doctors who just prescribed antibiotics. Dr. Ahmet Agaoglu was different. He spent 45 minutes with us, using colorful toys to examine her ears. He discovered a massive glue ear that others missed. He explained everything with drawings to my daughter. The bilateral myringotomy with grommet insertion was scheduled immediately at Medical Park Ankara. The surgical team was amazing with children - they had a teddy bear with a tiny hospital gown. My daughter calls him 'Ear Uncle' and now hears whispers perfectly. His patience with frightened children is extraordinary.
As a 72-year-old with chronic sinusitis for decades, I'd given up hope. My face felt like a constant pressure cooker. Dr. Agaoglu reviewed my stack of old CT scans and said, 'We can fix this, but it's like untangling old roots.' His honesty about the complexity of revision endoscopic sinus surgery was refreshing. Post-op at Keçiören, the nursing staff followed his detailed recovery protocol exactly. What impressed me most was his Sunday follow-up call to check on my pain levels. Six months later, I breathe through my nose properly for the first time since my 40s. He treats elderly patients with dignity, not as lost causes.
Emergency situation: I was on a business trip in Ankara when I developed a peritonsillar abscess overnight. My throat was closing. Medical Park's ER contacted Dr. Agaoglu at 2 AM. He came in within 20 minutes, calm as morning coffee. In the procedure room, he talked me through each step while draining the abscess. 'You'll feel pressure, then immediate relief,' he said - and he was exactly right. His emergency bedside manner is both efficient and deeply human. He followed up personally for three days to ensure no complications. When crisis strikes, you want this man in your corner.
Routine turned remarkable: I came for a simple vocal hoarseness checkup as a teacher. Dr. Agaoglu noticed subtle asymmetry during the laryngoscopy that I'd had for months. 'This isn't just strain,' he said quietly. He ordered a specialized stroboscopy that revealed early-stage vocal fold lesions. Instead of rushing to surgery, he designed a 3-month voice therapy program first. His collaboration with the speech therapist was seamless. The lesions resolved completely without surgery. He doesn't just look for surgical cases; he looks for the least invasive path to health. My teaching career was saved by his observant, conservative approach.

As a 72-year-old with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes, I was terrified of dietary restrictions. Dr. Mervenur didn't just give me a list of 'don'ts.' She sat with me for an hour, mapping my traditional Turkish meal patterns onto a sustainable glucose-management plan. She even collaborated with my cardiologist at Medical Park Ankara to adjust my diuretic timing around meals. Her approach wasn't about deprivation but intelligent adaptation. My HbA1c dropped from 8.7% to 6.2% in three months, and I still enjoy my family meals.
Our 8-year-old son, Kerem, was diagnosed with severe celiac disease after months of fatigue and stomach pain. Dr. Gulsen transformed his diet into an adventure, not a punishment. She created colorful, interactive 'food explorer' charts and found local Ankara bakeries that made safe, delicious gluten-free simit. She even video-called his school cafeteria staff to educate them. Her pediatric-focused, playful yet scientifically rigorous approach turned our anxious child into a confident, healthy boy who understands his own body. This was far more than a routine checkup; it was life-altering support.
I was admitted to Medical Park Keçiören as an emergency case following bariatric sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Severe nausea and dehydration had set in. Dr. Mervenur Gulsen was at my bedside within the hour, not with generic post-op guidelines, but with a precise, phased liquid protocol tailored to my surgical margins and electrolyte labs. She used a gentle, firm tone that cut through my post-anesthesia fog. Her daily monitoring and adjustments to protein supplement viscosity were what truly enabled my recovery. This was critical care nutrition at its finest.
A follow-up visit with Dr. Gulsen is unlike any other. I'm a competitive amateur cyclist, and after a plateau in my performance and recurrent cramping, I sought her expertise. She analyzed my training logs, sweat rate, and gut tolerance during long rides. The result was a dynamic intra-workout nutrition strategy using specific carbohydrate polymers and a revised post-ride micronutrient schedule to address subclinical deficiencies. Her detail-oriented, almost athletic-coach-like methodology, grounded in hard science, took my training from stuck to breakthrough. She treats the diet as a precision tool for complex goals.
