Patient Experience
After 12 years of unexplained secondary infertility and three heartbreaking miscarriages, my hope was nearly gone. Dr. Dilara Alpan at Medical Park Mersin approached my case not as another statistic, but as a puzzle requiring patience. She discovered a subtle uterine septum that others had missed. Her surgical precision during the hysteroscopic resection was remarkable, minimally invasive, virtually painless. But what truly set her apart was her post-operative care: weekly check-ins, personalized hormone monitoring, and genuine emotional support. Yesterday, at 16 weeks, we saw a strong heartbeat. She didn't just perform a procedure; she rebuilt our family's possibility.
My 14-year-old daughter developed severe menstrual pain that kept her home from school each month. Pediatricians dismissed it as 'normal,' but Dr. Alpan listened to her describe the dizziness and nausea with complete seriousness. She diagnosed adolescent endometriosis through gentle ultrasound and managed it with a tailored, conservative plan involving diet modification and specific supplements, avoiding heavy medication for a teenager. She spoke directly to my daughter, explaining everything in terms she could understand, empowering her. For the first time in a year, my child has her life back. This doctor understands that young patients need both medical expertise and respect.
At 67, I was embarrassed to discuss the pressure and urinary leakage I'd been hiding for years. Dr. Alpan created such a safe, non-judgmental space that I finally confessed everything. She diagnosed a significant pelvic organ prolapse and explained all options without pushing surgery. When we chose the vaginal reconstructive surgery, her skill was evident, the operation took half the expected time, and her specific spinal anesthesia protocol meant I was alert but felt nothing. At my 6-month follow-up, not only is the prolapse repaired, but she connected me with pelvic floor physiotherapy. She gave me back my confidence to travel and garden without fear.
I arrived at Medical Park Mersin as an emergency transfer at 28 weeks with sudden, severe preeclampsia, my blood pressure was dangerously high. Dr. Alpan took command of the situation with calm urgency. She stabilized me with precise medication, explained the need for an immediate C-section in clear, direct terms, and delivered my son with incredible efficiency. What followed was masterful: she managed my postpartum hypertension while advocating for NICU access, coordinating between three departments. She visited me twice daily, even on her day off. Her ability to handle a high-stakes crisis while treating us with profound kindness turned a traumatic birth into a story of survival we now share with gratitude.
