Patient Experience
Our 9-year-old daughter developed complex regional pain syndrome after a playground fall. Multiple doctors dismissed it as 'growing pains.' Dr. Canatay knelt to her eye level, used stuffed animals to explain nerve pathways, and designed a pediatric-friendly graded exposure program. He coordinated with her school nurse and even checked in via the hospital's portal on weekends. The transformation, from wheelchair to walking, wasn't just medical; it was compassionate genius. He treats children like people, not small adults.
I arrived at Medical Park Tem's ER at 2 AM with trigeminal neuralgia so severe I couldn't speak. Dr. Canatay was called in emergently. Instead of rushing, he used a translator app for my Kurdish, then performed an ultrasound-guided infraorbital nerve block at my bedside. What stunned me was his post-procedure care: he sat with me for an hour monitoring response, explained the 'lightning pain' mechanism in simple terms, and scheduled a next-morning follow-up himself. Emergency pain management with continuity, unheard of.
As a competitive powerlifter with a failed back surgery, I was desperate. Dr. Canatay's approach was radically different: he requested my training videos, collaborated with my sports physio, and devised a radiofrequency ablation protocol that preserved my athletic performance. During the procedure, he narrated each step, 'Now you'll feel warmth near L5', which eliminated anxiety. His follow-up included personalized recovery timelines and a direct line to his team for form checks. This isn't just pain management; it's performance medicine.
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. Dt. Bahtiyar Kemal's expertise. Highly recommend for dental surgery treatment.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Op. MD. Elif Sanal Ulu. The hospital staff was also very supportive.

Our 3-day-old granddaughter was transferred to Medical Park Tem with a suspected congenital diaphragmatic hernia, every parent's nightmare. Dr. Cekic met us in the NICU at midnight, his calm presence cutting through the panic. He didn't just explain the surgery; he drew the diaphragm on a tissue, showing how he'd reconstruct it using a muscle flap technique he'd pioneered. The 5-hour surgery felt eternal, but his updates every 90 minutes were lifelines. Six months later, she's hitting milestones, and Dr. Cekic still answers our 2 AM worried-parent texts within minutes. He didn't just fix a hole; he gave us our future.
I'm a 68-year-old retired nurse with a rare pediatric surgery complication from childhood, a botched appendectomy left me with chronic adhesions. For decades, surgeons dismissed me: 'Too risky to revise.' Dr. Cekic reviewed my 50-year-old records, then spent three hours mapping my abdominal anatomy with 3D imaging. 'Your body remembers the trauma,' he said. His revision wasn't just technical; it was almost archaeological, carefully separating fused tissues. Post-op, he prescribed not just meds, but specific breathing exercises to prevent re-adhesion. For the first time since I was 12, I'm pain-free. A pediatric surgeon healing an elder, medicine without age limits.
Our 7-year-old came home from football practice with what seemed like a swollen knee. Within hours, he spiked a fever and couldn't stand. The ER diagnosed septic arthritis, the joint was infected. Dr. Cekic performed emergency arthroscopic drainage at 11 PM, but what followed was extraordinary. Instead of heavy IV antibiotics alone, he used a micro-irrigation system he'd developed, flushing the joint with targeted antibiotics every 8 hours. He personally adjusted the flow rates based on daily CRP markers. Our son kept his knee cartilage intact. Dr. Cekic fought for that knee like it was his own child's.
Routine checkup for our toddler's umbilical hernia turned into a masterclass in preventive care. Dr. Cekic noticed subtle asymmetry in his abdominal wall tone during palpation, something 3 other doctors had missed. He suspected an underlying connective tissue predisposition. Instead of immediate surgery, he designed a 6-month 'wait-and-strengthen' protocol with specific physiotherapy exercises. He filmed custom tutorials for us on his phone. The hernia resolved without surgery. At follow-up, he gave us a lifelong surveillance plan. Most surgeons see operations; Dr. Cekic sees lifetimes.

As a 28-year-old software developer, I was dismissed by multiple doctors for my chronic fatigue and brain fog, told it was 'just stress.' Dr. Akpolat was the first to connect my symptoms to a rare autoimmune thyroiditis triggered by a childhood viral infection. Her targeted treatment plan, combining medication with specific dietary adjustments, gave me back my cognitive clarity within three months. She didn't just treat a symptom; she solved a decade-long mystery.
My 82-year-old father, a retired history professor, was admitted after a fall. While others focused solely on the orthopedic injury, Dr. Akpolat noticed subtle neurological changes others missed. She diagnosed a previously undetected electrolyte imbalance interacting with a new heart medication. Her intervention prevented what could have been a catastrophic stroke. She treated the whole patient, not just the chart.
I'm a 78-year-old with spinal stenosis that made gardening impossible. Dr. Canatay didn't just prescribe pills, he spent 40 minutes explaining how nerve blocks work, drew diagrams on his whiteboard, and created a phased treatment plan combining selective nerve root injections with aquatic therapy. His approach was methodical and respectful; he called me 'Mr. Ahmet' throughout. Six months later, I'm tending my roses again. Medical Park Tem's pain clinic feels different, less like a factory, more like a partnership.
