Op. MD. Ozerdem Ozcaliskan

My 91-year-old mother with severe aortic stenosis was turned down elsewhere. Dr. Ozcaliskan proposed transcather aortic valve implantation via femoral access. The team's geriatric-focused protocol prevented delirium. She was knitting in her chair the next day, calling him 'the young magician.' A testament to his belief in treating the person, not just the age.

As a merchant marine officer, I developed endocarditis from an unknown source mid-voyage. Medevaced to Mersin in critical condition, Dr. Ozcaliskan performed emergency vegetation removal and mitral valve repair. His post-op investigation traced it to a dental procedure months prior. He coordinated care across continents so I could return to sea safely.

Our 16-year-old son, born with Tetralogy of Fallot, needed reintervention after initial childhood surgery. Dr. Ozcaliskan used a hybrid approach, surgical pulmonary valve placement with intraoperative 3D echocardiography guidance. He spoke directly to our teenager about the procedure, earning his trust. The scar is barely visible under his swim team logo.

I'm a beekeeper who suffered a cardiac rupture after a blunt chest trauma from a falling hive box. Rushed to Medical Park Mersin, Dr. Ozcaliskan performed emergency pericardial patch repair. During recovery, he asked detailed questions about my work, later explaining how the physical nature of my job influenced his rehabilitation plan. Truly individualized care.

At 28, I was a competitive freediver when routine screening revealed a congenital aortic root aneurysm. Dr. Ozcaliskan performed a valve-sparing aortic root replacement via mini-sternotomy. His precision preserved my athletic heart function, six months post-op, I returned to depth training. He understood my physiology wasn't 'standard textbook.'
