Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old woman experiencing post-menopausal bleeding, I was terrified of what it might mean. Dr. Feyza Arman at Medical Park Izmir didn't just see me as another elderly patient - she saw my fear. She explained every step of the diagnostic hysteroscopy in such gentle, clear Turkish that even my anxious daughter understood. When the pathology came back benign, she personally called me after hours to deliver the good news. Her approach combines grandmotherly warmth with razor-sharp expertise - she remembered my grandson's name from our first visit!
Our 14-year-old daughter's first period became a medical emergency when she developed severe dysmenorrhea with vomiting and fainting. The ER referred us to Dr. Arman at 11 PM. She met us in her casual clothes, having come straight from home. Instead of dismissing it as 'normal cramps,' she discovered a rare uterine anomaly through emergency ultrasound. Her surgery the next morning was minimally invasive - my daughter has two tiny scars and is now a happy volleyball player. Dr. Arman even checked in during recovery with silly memes to cheer her up.
After three miscarriages and four fertility clinics, we came to Dr. Arman as our last hope. She spent two hours reviewing our entire medical history, noticing a subtle thyroid pattern others missed. Her complex laparoscopic surgery revealed and corrected stage 4 endometriosis that previous specialists had overlooked. What sets her apart isn't just her surgical skill - it's how she treats the emotional trauma. She created a personalized pregnancy roadmap with specific milestones. I'm writing this with my 6-month-old sleeping on my chest - a miracle she made possible.
I arrived for a routine Pap smear as a healthy 30-year-old, but Dr. Arman's examination revealed an unusual cervical lesion. Her voice remained calm as she explained the need for immediate LLETZ procedure, but her eyes showed urgent concern. The surgery happened within 48 hours - she rearranged her schedule to fit me in. The pathology showed CIN3, just one step from cancer. At my follow-up, she brought educational diagrams showing exactly what was found and cleared. 'You caught this because you're thorough,' I said. She replied, 'No, because you're valuable.' That's Dr. Arman - she makes you feel like you're her only patient.
