Medical Park Pendik Reviews

Our 12-year-old son, a cancer survivor, developed severe anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. Dr. Izci partnered with oncologists to initiate a groundbreaking cardioprotective regimen using novel mitochondrial agents during chemo. He then managed his heart failure with precision, balancing cardiac recovery with cancer surveillance. He bridges specialties to protect the hearts that have already battled giants.

I'm a 58-year-old monk from a silent order who required cardiac surgery. Unable to communicate verbally post-operation, Dr. Izci developed a unique pictogram system for me to report symptoms. He noticed subtle signs of pericarditis through my drawings of pressure and heat, diagnosing a complication others missed. His willingness to adapt communication healed me without breaking my vow of silence.

During an archaeological dig in Anatolia, I suffered a massive MI at 45. Evacuated to Dr. Izci, he discovered a coronary anomaly mimicking a normal variant. He performed PCI but also researched historical diets and activity patterns from my dig site, creating a rehabilitation plan that mirrored my ancestral lifestyle. His holistic approach treated the modern blockage with ancient wisdom.

As a 66-year-old professional perfumer, I developed medication allergies that made post-MI management impossible. Dr. Izci designed a completely novel desensitization protocol, gradually exposing me to essential drugs under controlled conditions. He succeeded where allergists failed, allowing me to receive life-saving medications. He approaches cardiology like a master perfumer, balancing complex, reactive elements with exquisite care.

As a 72-year-old retired ship captain with decades of chronic back pain from heavy lifting, I'd seen countless specialists. Dr. Aktas was the first to connect my pain to an old spinal compression fracture I'd forgotten about. His targeted nerve block procedure, performed with the precision of a navigator charting a course, gave me my first pain-free night in 15 years. I can now walk my granddaughter to school without my cane.

My 19-year-old daughter, a promising ballet dancer, developed complex regional pain syndrome after a minor ankle sprain. The pain became so severe she couldn't bear the touch of bedsheets. Dr. Aktas created a multidisciplinary plan combining sympathetic nerve blocks with graded motor imagery. He treated her not just as a patient, but as an artist whose instrument was her body. She returned to the studio within three months, a recovery her previous doctors called impossible.

During a hiking trip in Turkey, I (a 45-year-old German architect) experienced sudden, excruciating sciatica that left me immobilized in a hotel room. Dr. Aktas arranged an emergency consultation at Medical Park Pendik. His immediate diagnosis of a herniated disc and same-day epidural steroid injection turned what could have been a medical evacuation into a continued vacation. His command of English and German made the process seamless.

Our 8-year-old son developed phantom limb pain after a traumatic amputation following a traffic accident. Most pain specialists hesitated to treat someone so young. Dr. Aktas developed a gentle protocol using mirror therapy and carefully calibrated medications. He explained everything to our son using toy models and drawings. The transformation from a child who screamed when his 'missing foot' hurt to one who sleeps through the night has been miraculous for our entire family.

As a 33-year-old professional gamer with debilitating carpal tunnel and thoracic outlet syndrome, my career was ending. Dr. Aktas understood the unique ergonomic stresses of my profession. Instead of just injections, he designed a comprehensive plan including ultrasound-guided procedures, posture retraining, and specific exercises for gaming stamina. I've not only returned to competition but broke my personal streaming record last month.

My 81-year-old mother with advanced osteoporosis and multiple vertebral fractures was on dangerously high opioid doses. Dr. Aktas performed kyphoplasty, not just for pain relief but to restore her posture. Watching her stand straight for the first time in years, the look of dignity returning to her face, was more powerful than any pain scale improvement. He gave us back the matriarch of our family.

I'm a 52-year-old fisherman who developed post-herpetic neuralgia after shingles wrapped around my ribcage. The burning pain made pulling nets unbearable. Dr. Aktas used pulsed radiofrequency ablation on the affected nerves, a procedure I'd never heard of. He explained it would disrupt pain signals without destroying sensation. Three weeks later, I was back at sea, the salt spray feeling like freedom instead of agony against my healing skin.

After a botched spinal surgery abroad left me with adhesive arachnoiditis and constant burning pain, I became bedridden at 47. Dr. Aktas was the seventh specialist I consulted. He didn't promise a cure but devised a novel intrathecal catheter protocol combined with spinal cord stimulation. For the first time in four years, I attended my daughter's university graduation. He manages my expectations while consistently delivering small victories that add up to a reclaimed life.

Our 28-year-old daughter with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome experienced joint dislocations with such frequent pain that she'd given up hope of employment. Dr. Aktas created a personalized pain management plan that acknowledged her condition's complexity. His combination of prolotherapy for ligament stability and targeted nerve treatments reduced her daily pain from 9/10 to 3/10. She recently started her first part-time job, a milestone we thought we'd never see.

As a 63-year-old retired teacher with trigeminal neuralgia, the 'suicide disease,' I was desperate when medications failed. Dr. Aktas performed a balloon compression rhizotomy. The procedure itself was surprisingly straightforward, but his follow-up care was extraordinary, calling me personally the first evening to check on me. The electric shock pains that made eating impossible are gone. I celebrated by eating my first proper apple in two years.

My 14-year-old athlete son developed osteoid osteoma in his femur, a benign but intensely painful tumor. While waiting for ablation treatment, his pain became uncontrollable. Dr. Aktas managed his pain with precise nerve blocks that allowed him to sleep and maintain muscle strength. He coordinated seamlessly with the oncology team, always ensuring my son understood each step. The continuity of care through diagnosis to recovery was masterful.

At 39, I developed debilitating pelvic pain after childbirth that seven doctors dismissed as 'normal postpartum recovery.' Dr. Aktas identified pudendal neuralgia and performed an ultrasound-guided nerve block with regenerative medicine. His approach validated my suffering when others had minimized it. I went from being unable to sit through my baby's feeding to returning to work as a software developer. He restored my ability to be both a mother and a professional.

My 70-year-old husband with Parkinson's disease developed central pain syndrome, a deep, aching pain unrelated to injury. Most neurologists focused only on his movement symptoms. Dr. Aktas recognized the pain component as separate and treatable. His combination of medications and non-invasive therapies reduced the pain significantly. The change in my husband's demeanor, from withdrawn to engaged, has been as valuable as the physical relief.

I brought my 4-year-old son in with what I thought was just a persistent stomach bug. Dr. Kaya noticed subtle signs I'd missed, pale nail beds and fatigue during play. She didn't just prescribe medicine; she ordered specific blood tests that revealed early-stage iron deficiency anemia. Her explanation to my son about 'helping his blood soldiers get stronger' was genius. She created a nutrition plan with fun food characters, and now he's thriving. Most pediatric-focused internists I've met rush through appointments, but she spent 40 minutes with us, answering every worried-parent question.

As an 82-year-old with congestive heart failure, diabetes, and recent kidney issues, I've become a 'complex case' that many doctors find frustrating. Dr. Kaya approached my situation like a master puzzle-solver. During my follow-up visit last Tuesday, she identified a dangerous interaction between two medications that three other specialists had prescribed independently. She coordinated a virtual conference with my cardiologist and nephrologist right from her office, creating a unified treatment plan. Her ability to see how all my systems interact, rather than treating each issue in isolation, has given me two better-managed months than I've had in years.

I arrived at Medical Park Pendik with acute abdominal pain at 11 PM, doubled over in the ER waiting room. Dr. Kaya was the internal medicine specialist on call. Within minutes of examination, she suspected something beyond appendicitis and ordered a specific contrast CT scan. She discovered a rare Meckel's diverticulitis with early perforation. What impressed me wasn't just the accurate diagnosis, but how she calmly explained the surgical urgency while simultaneously managing my pain and anxiety. She personally walked me to the surgical unit, briefing the surgeon with precise notes. Her emergency intervention prevented peritonitis.
