Asst. Prof. MD. Sinan Arici Reviews

I'm a 72-year-old retired teacher who had been living with an inguinal hernia for years, too scared to get it fixed. Dr. Arici was recommended by my cardiologist due to my atrial fibrillation. From the first consultation at Medical Park Bursa, he spoke to me like a person, not just a chart. He coordinated with my cardiologist personally, explaining the laparoscopic procedure in such simple terms with drawings. The surgery was flawless, but what truly amazed me was his follow-up. He called me at home two days after discharge just to check on me. A professor who takes that kind of time? Extraordinary.

Our 8-year-old son, Ali, had acute appendicitis on a Sunday evening. The panic was real. Dr. Sinan Arici was the on-call surgeon. He didn't just see a 'case'; he knelt down, talked to Ali about his favorite soccer team to distract him, and explained everything to us with incredible calm. The emergency laparoscopic appendectomy went smoothly, but his care didn't stop there. During rounds, he'd do magic tricks with his pen to make Ali laugh. He turned a traumatic event for a child into an experience where Ali now says he wants to be a surgeon 'like the funny doctor.' We are forever grateful.

As a 45-year-old chef, a routine gallbladder ultrasound revealed a complex, suspicious lesion on my liver. The uncertainty was terrifying. Dr. Arici's approach was methodical and transparent. He didn't jump to surgery; he ordered specific MRI sequences and presented my case to the hospital's tumor board. He showed me the images, explained the possibility of a rare benign tumor versus something else, and outlined a laparoscopic biopsy-first strategy. His confidence wasn't arrogance, it was knowledge. The biopsy confirmed focal nodular hyperplasia, avoiding a major unnecessary resection. He gave me my life back with precision and caution.

I was a 'routine' laparoscopic cholecystectomy patient, or so I thought. During my 3-week post-op follow-up, I mentioned offhand that I felt an odd, deep twinge when bending. Dr. Arici immediately became focused. He had me demonstrate the movement, examined the port sites meticulously, and ordered an ultrasound right then, suspecting a rare port-site hernia. He found it, a small but significant defect. He scheduled a minor corrective procedure the next week, saying, 'We fix it properly now, so it never bothers you later.' Most surgeons would have dismissed it. His attention to a minor complaint prevented a major future complication. That's true excellence.
