Op. MD. Gultekin Gokce

For years, I suffered from a persistent, unexplained dizziness that made me feel like I was constantly on a rocking boat. At 72, I had seen several doctors who dismissed it as 'old age.' Dr. Gokce was different. He didn't just listen; he investigated. He performed a detailed VNG test himself and discovered a rare vestibular migraine variant affecting my inner ear. His treatment plan, a combination of specific vestibular rehab exercises and a tailored medication, changed my life. I can now garden and play with my grandchildren without fear of falling. His patience with an elderly patient like me, explaining every step in simple Turkish, was a blessing.

Our 4-year-old son, Ali, had such enlarged adenoids and tonsils he could barely breathe at night, he'd stop breathing for terrifying seconds. We were terrified of surgery for someone so small. Dr. Gokce didn't just see a case; he saw our scared little boy. He showed us diagrams, used a toy model to explain, and his calm confidence was contagious. The adenotonsillectomy at Medical Park Tokat went perfectly. The follow-up was meticulous. What truly amazed us was his post-op care; he called us personally the evening after surgery to check on Ali. Now, Ali sleeps peacefully, a vibrant child full of energy. We trust him implicitly.

I came in for what I thought was a routine sinusitis follow-up. During the nasal endoscopy, Dr. Gokce's demeanor shifted subtly, he became intensely focused. He discovered a small, atypical growth in a hidden sinus recess I didn't even know existed. He explained the need for further investigation with a CT scan immediately, which revealed a complex, pre-cancerous inverted papilloma. His swift action and referral for a specialized endoscopic sinus surgery he performed were critical. The surgery was intricate, navigating delicate areas near my eye and brain. A year later, with clear follow-up scopes, I am not just cured; I am grateful for a doctor whose routine checkup was anything but routine. He saved me from a much worse future.

It was a Sunday evening, and I had a sudden, excruciating ear pain followed by a sharp 'pop' and immediate hearing loss. The ER at Medical Park Tokat called Dr. Gokce at home. He came in within 20 minutes. I was in a panic, fearing permanent deafness. He diagnosed a traumatic perforation of my eardrum from a hidden, severe infection. In the middle of the night, he performed a delicate myringoplasty to patch the eardrum. His skill in an emergency was astounding, but it was his reassurance that truly healed. 'We will fix this together,' he said. My hearing is now fully restored. This wasn't just treatment; it was a rescue by a doctor who treats emergencies with the gravity and expertise they deserve.
