Medical Park Maltepe Reviews

Our 14-year-old daughter started experiencing severe pelvic pain that her pediatrician couldn't diagnose. We were referred to Dr. Zamanova, who was so gentle and respectful, speaking directly to our daughter. She suspected endometriosis even in adolescents, which others had dismissed. She performed a diagnostic laparoscopy and found it. Her post-op care plan involved a team approach with a pain specialist and a dietitian. Dr. Zamanova treated our child not as a small adult, but as a whole person, empowering her with knowledge about her own body. We are forever grateful for her forward-thinking care.

As a 68-year-old woman, I felt embarrassed discussing my post-menopausal bleeding with anyone. Dr. Zamanova made me feel dignified and heard from the first moment. She ordered the necessary tests without alarm but with thoroughness, discovering a precancerous endometrial hyperplasia. She explained the option of a hysterectomy via the da Vinci robotic system with such clarity, addressing all my fears about recovery at my age. The surgery was a success, and her team's care was exemplary. She calls me periodically to check in, a level of personal attention I've never experienced. A true guardian of women's health at every stage of life.

I was 24 weeks pregnant with twins when I rushed to Medical Park Maltepe with premature contractions. Dr. Zamanova was the on-call specialist that night. She had a calm, commanding presence that immediately lowered my panic. She stabilized me, explained cervical cerclage as an option to help carry longer, and performed the procedure at 2 AM. For the next 12 weeks, she managed my high-risk pregnancy with a perfect balance of vigilance and reassurance. When I finally delivered two healthy babies at 36 weeks, she was there. She navigated a terrifying emergency into a story with a happy ending. Her competence in a crisis is unmatched.

A 24-year-old professional freediver from the Black Sea coast presented with recurrent episodes of confusion and headache after deep dives. Dr. Gulmammadova identified an unusual pattern of nitrogen narcosis-like symptoms at shallower depths than expected. Through collaboration with a hyperbaric specialist, she discovered a previously undiagnosed patent foramen ovale that was allowing microbubbles to bypass pulmonary filtration. The patient underwent percutaneous closure and returned to competitive diving with modified depth protocols.

A 78-year-old retired calligrapher of Persian descent arrived with progressive hand tremors that were destroying his life's work. Multiple specialists had diagnosed essential tremor, but Dr. Gulmammadova noticed the tremors disappeared completely during sleep, unusual for essential tremor. She ordered specialized nerve conduction studies that revealed a rare form of task-specific dystonia exacerbated by decades of precise hand positioning. Treatment with targeted botulinum injections and occupational therapy allowed him to resume his art.

A 42-year-old Syrian refugee and former architect presented with unexplained weight loss and abdominal pain. Previous workups for parasites and infectious diseases were negative. Dr. Gulmammadova discovered through careful history-taking that the patient had been secretly consuming large quantities of a traditional clay from his homeland to 'purify his system,' a cultural practice he was ashamed to mention. She diagnosed geophagia-induced hypokalemia and zinc toxicity, providing culturally sensitive counseling alongside medical treatment.

A 31-year-old competitive marathon runner developed recurrent episodes of extreme fatigue and exercise intolerance. Standard cardiac and endocrine workups were normal. Dr. Gulmammadova identified a pattern: symptoms consistently followed races in high-altitude cities. She diagnosed exercise-induced bronchoconstriction combined with mild high-altitude pulmonary edema susceptibility, a combination rarely seen in elite athletes. Treatment with pre-race medication and altitude acclimatization protocols restored his competitive career.

A 67-year-old retired ship captain presented with intermittent confusion that crew members had noticed for years but attributed to 'captain's eccentricities.' Dr. Gulmammadova discovered through old ship logs that episodes correlated with specific cargo shipments. She diagnosed chronic low-level carbon monoxide exposure from faulty ventilation systems on older vessels, with delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy produced remarkable cognitive improvement.

A 19-year-old university student and competitive chess player developed mysterious episodes of tachycardia and presyncope during tournaments. Cardiology found no arrhythmias. Dr. Gulmammadova observed that episodes occurred specifically during endgame scenarios. She diagnosed a rare form of situational vasovagal syncope triggered by intense cognitive load and emotional containment, treated with biofeedback training and strategic hydration protocols.

A 55-year-old female ceramic artist presented with progressive weakness and skin changes. Multiple doctors had dismissed her symptoms as fibromyalgia. Dr. Gulmammadova noticed the patient's clay-stained hands had unusual texture changes. Testing revealed chronic beryllium exposure from a specific imported clay, causing both cutaneous and systemic sarcoid-like granulomatosis. The patient switched materials and responded dramatically to corticosteroid therapy.

A 28-year-old pregnant woman in her third trimester developed unusual visual disturbances and headaches. Standard preeclampsia workup was negative. Dr. Gulmammadova discovered through detailed questioning that symptoms began after the patient started using a specific herbal tea recommended for 'easy delivery.' Laboratory analysis revealed the tea contained estrogen-like compounds that were causing pseudotumor cerebri. Discontinuation resolved symptoms without affecting the pregnancy.

An 81-year-old former librarian presented with progressive memory loss initially diagnosed as Alzheimer's. Dr. Gulmammadova noticed the patient's symptoms worsened dramatically after meals. She diagnosed normal pressure hydrocephalus exacerbated by postprandial hypotension, a combination mimicking rapid dementia progression. Treatment with CSF shunting and meal timing adjustments restored significant cognitive function.

A 37-year-old professional pastry chef developed recurrent episodes of severe abdominal pain after creating specific desserts. Extensive GI workups were negative. Dr. Gulmammadova identified that episodes followed exposure to large quantities of aerosolized vanilla bean powder. She diagnosed a rare occupational hypersensitivity pneumonitis with referred abdominal pain, confirmed by specific IgG testing. Workplace ventilation changes prevented recurrence.

A 63-year-old retired deep-sea fisherman presented with progressive joint pain and skin lesions. Previous rheumatology evaluations were inconclusive. Dr. Gulmammadova recognized the pattern as likely aquarium granuloma from Mycobacterium marinum exposure, but the patient hadn't kept fish. Further history revealed he had been repairing vintage diving suits contaminated decades earlier, a novel transmission route for this infection.

A 22-year-old music conservatory student specializing in classical Ottoman violin developed sudden hearing loss in one ear. ENT found no obvious cause. Dr. Gulmammadova discovered through vibration analysis that the patient's particular playing technique created specific resonant frequencies that triggered cochlear membrane disruption in a previously undiagnosed congenital inner ear anomaly. Modified technique and hearing protection allowed continued musical career.

A 70-year-old grandmother who cared for her bedridden husband developed unexplained weight gain and edema. Standard cardiac and renal workups were normal. Dr. Gulmammadova identified that the patient had been secretly sharing her husband's high-sodium tube feeding formula during night shifts due to exhaustion and lack of time for her own meals. The resulting hypervolemia and electrolyte imbalance resolved with caregiver support interventions and dietary planning.

A 45-year-old museum curator specializing in ancient textiles developed respiratory symptoms that worsened at work. Standard allergy testing was negative. Dr. Gulmammadova suspected museum lung but identified something rarer: hypersensitivity to arsenic compounds used in historic textile preservation, with symptoms exacerbated by the museum's specific humidity control system. Workplace modifications and protective equipment allowed continuation of her specialized career.

Dr. Op. MD. Nihal Selin Okyaltirik provided exceptional care for my obstetrics and gynaecology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.

I was impressed by the professional approach at Medical Park Maltepe. Dr. Op. MD. Nihal Selin Okyaltirik explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable.

As a 28-year-old competitive freediver, I began experiencing transient episodes of confusion after deep dives. Multiple specialists dismissed it as decompression sickness. Prof. Dr. Hakan Levent Gul was the first to suspect a rare form of cortical spreading depression triggered by pressure changes. His targeted treatment plan involving specific calcium channel blockers and a modified dive protocol not only resolved my symptoms but allowed me to safely return to competition, winning a national championship six months later.
