Op. MD. Aysun Savas Efesoy

As a 68-year-old woman experiencing postmenopausal bleeding, I was terrified of what it might mean. Dr. Aysun's approach was unlike any other. Instead of rushing to tests, she spent 40 minutes with me, drawing diagrams of uterine anatomy on her notepad to explain every possibility. Her 'gradual investigation protocol' started with the least invasive options first. When a complex endometrial polyp was found, she performed a hysteroscopic resection at Medical Park Mersin with such precision that I needed only ibuprofen afterward. What struck me most was her follow-up: she called me personally three days post-op to check on me, something I've never experienced in decades of medical care.

Our 14-year-old daughter developed severe menstrual pain that made her miss school monthly. Previous doctors dismissed it as 'normal cramps.' Dr. Aysun treated her like an adult patient, asking HER the questions directly, explaining adolescent endometriosis in terms a teen could understand. She created a staged management plan involving diet modifications, physical therapy referrals, and minimal medication, emphasizing 'we start gentle and escalate only if needed.' At our 3-month follow-up, my daughter smiled for the first time about her cycle. Dr. Aysun even remembered her upcoming piano recital and asked about it specifically.

I arrived at Medical Park Mersin's ER at midnight with sudden, severe abdominal pain at 11 weeks pregnant. Dr. Aysun was on call and immediately recognized a rare cornual ectopic pregnancy just from my ultrasound images. What followed was an emergency laparoscopic surgery where she preserved my fallopian tube against all odds using microsurgical techniques she'd trained in abroad. During recovery, she visited me twice daily, explaining each step in Turkish mixed with medical English since I'm an expat. She later designed a personalized conception plan for when we're ready to try again, incorporating lessons from this trauma.

For my routine annual exam, I expected the usual 10-minute pap smear. Instead, Dr. Aysun conducted what she called a 'whole-woman health assessment.' She reviewed my bone density scans from another department, connected my mild hair loss to thyroid issues I didn't know I had, and spent 25 minutes discussing perimenopausal transition strategies, all during a scheduled checkup. Her 'preventive mapping' included a color-coded chart showing my health trajectory. When she found an asymptomatic ovarian cyst, she used a 3D-printed model of MY OWN anatomy (from previous scans) to show why watchful waiting was safe. I've never felt so comprehensively cared for in a routine visit.
