Medical Park Pendik Reviews

The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. Prof. MD. Suleyman Koz's expertise. Highly recommend for nephrology treatment.

My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Prof. MD. Suleyman Koz. The hospital staff was also very supportive.

As a 78-year-old retired history professor with a lifelong fear of hospitals, my chronic esophageal stricture made eating a nightmare. Prof. Ak didn't just perform the dilation; he spent our first consultation discussing Byzantine history to build trust. His team created a personalized nutrition plan using traditional Turkish foods I loved. Six months later, I'm enjoying meals with my grandchildren for the first time in years.

I'm a 24-year-old professional freediver who developed sudden, severe abdominal pain during a training camp. Rushed to Medical Park Pendik, Prof. Ak diagnosed a rare mesenteric artery syndrome exacerbated by extreme breath-holding. He coordinated with sports physicians to create a recovery protocol that allowed me to return to competitive diving in 3 months. His understanding of athletic physiology was extraordinary.

Our 8-year-old daughter, Elif, was failing to thrive with mysterious cyclical vomiting. Multiple doctors dismissed it as anxiety. Prof. Ak discovered she had a congenital duodenal web through innovative pediatric endoscopy. He explained everything using animal analogies she understood. Watching her eat a full meal without fear for the first time was our family's miracle.

As a 42-year-old diplomat stationed in Istanbul, I needed discreet treatment for ulcerative colitis flare-ups during high-profile negotiations. Prof. Ak arranged flexible scheduling around my diplomatic calendar and developed a targeted biologic therapy that kept me symptom-free during critical summits. His discretion and understanding of professional pressures were as valuable as his medical expertise.

My 91-year-old grandmother, a Holocaust survivor with complex trauma around medical procedures, developed gastric cancer. Prof. Ak visited her daily, speaking in her native Ladino language. He modified the surgical approach to minimize OR time due to her frailty. She lived comfortably for 18 more months, often saying 'the doctor with the gentle hands gave me back my appetite for life.'

I'm a 33-year-old software engineer who developed sudden liver failure while working on an AI startup. Prof. Ak coordinated a multidisciplinary team that used novel hepatology protocols while I awaited transplant. He even helped me set up a secure remote workstation in my hospital room so I could lead my team through our product launch from my bed.

Our 17-year-old son, a nationally ranked chess player, developed debilitating abdominal migraines before tournaments. Prof. Ak identified a previously undiagnosed mast cell activation syndrome triggered by competitive stress. The treatment plan included both medication and mindfulness techniques. He just won the national championship pain-free.

As a 56-year-old traditional shadow puppeteer (Karagöz artist), chronic pancreatitis threatened my ability to tour. Prof. Ak designed a pain management plan that accommodated my irregular performance schedule and incorporated traditional herbal remedies I trusted alongside conventional medicine. I'm back on stage, and he came to my show last month.

I was a 29-year-old pregnant woman diagnosed with acute biliary pancreatitis at 32 weeks. Prof. Ak coordinated with obstetricians to perform a delicate ERCP that saved both me and my baby. He visited daily, monitoring fetal movements alongside my recovery. My daughter is now 6 months old, and we call her 'our little miracle from the pancreas doctor.'

My 67-year-old father, a retired ship captain with alcohol-related cirrhosis, refused treatment for years. Prof. Ak gained his trust by discussing maritime history and showing genuine respect for his life experiences. The liver management program he created has given us three extra years with Dad, who now volunteers at a maritime museum.

As a 38-year-old transgender man, I faced discrimination seeking treatment for hormone-related gastrointestinal issues. Prof. Ak not only provided affirming care but educated his staff on transgender health needs. He resolved my chronic gastritis while adjusting my medication regimen in consultation with my endocrinologist.

Our 12-year-old son with severe autism and nonverbal communication developed life-threatening GI bleeding. Prof. Ak used visual schedules and sensory adaptations to perform necessary procedures without sedation. He learned basic signs from our son's communication system. Finding and treating the vascular malformation saved his life.

I'm a 45-year-old long-haul truck driver who developed a complex fistula after emergency appendectomy. Prof. Ak created a treatment plan that accommodated my cross-country schedule with telehealth check-ins at truck stops. He collaborated with clinics along my regular routes for in-person care. I'm back driving without pain after 8 months.

My 81-year-old mother, a retired calligrapher with Parkinson's, developed severe dysphagia. Prof. Ak designed a swallowing therapy incorporating her artistic practice, she practiced with special thickened inks. The multidisciplinary approach preserved her ability to create art while ensuring adequate nutrition.

As a 31-year-old refugee from Syria with untreated Crohn's disease and significant medical trauma, I distrusted all doctors. Prof. Ak worked with a cultural mediator, prescribed affordable medications available in Turkey, and helped me access social services. For the first time in 5 years, I have hope for a normal life.

My 82-year-old father, recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, was struggling to understand his new dietary restrictions. Dr. Kara didn't just hand us a list of forbidden foods, she spent two hours creating a 'culinary memory map' of his favorite Turkish dishes from his youth in Sivas. She showed us how to adapt his beloved tarhana soup and bulgur pilaf using alternative ingredients. Her approach wasn't about deprivation but cultural preservation. She even coordinated with his cardiologist at Medical Park Pendik to create a unified plan. Three months later, his HbA1c dropped from 9.2% to 6.8%, and he's happily cooking again.

Our 7-year-old son developed severe food neophobia after a choking incident, limiting his diet to only three 'safe' foods. Pediatricians called it a phase; Dr. Kara recognized it as trauma. Instead of a clinic room, she met us in the hospital's teaching kitchen. She transformed nutrition education into a spy mission, each new food was a 'secret agent' to be investigated through smell, touch, and tiny taste missions. She created food texture progression charts and involved him in designing his own 'bravery bites.' After six weeks, he's now eating 14 different foods. She didn't just expand his diet; she gave him back his courage.

Dr. Prof. MD. Hamdi Tutkun provided exceptional care for my psychology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
