After my spinal cord injury from a motorcycle accident, I was told I might never walk properly again. Dr. Cindas was the third specialist I saw, and the first who didn't just see a broken body. He saw a person. His approach was revolutionary for me, combining targeted nerve blocks with a neuro-rehabilitation program I'd never heard of. He personally supervised my first attempts at weight-bearing in the hydrotherapy pool at Medical Park Ankara. Six months later, I'm walking with a cane. Not just treating, but rebuilding lives, that's Dr. Cindas.
Our 8-year-old son developed severe, unexplained hip pain that left him unable to play football. Pediatricians were stumped. Dr. Cindas spent an entire consultation on the floor with him, observing how he moved, not just scanning the MRI. He diagnosed a rare overuse syndrome in growing athletes and created a 'game-based' rehab plan. No intimidating gym equipment, just exercises disguised as play. He even adjusted his schedule for our follow-ups after school. The empathy he showed a frightened child was as remarkable as his clinical skill. Our boy is back on the field, pain-free.
As a 78-year-old with advanced osteoporosis and three vertebral fractures, I was in constant agony, hunched over. I expected pain management, not transformation. Dr. Cindas proposed a carefully staged plan: first a novel kyphoplasty technique to stabilize the fractures, followed by a gentle but precise postural restoration program. He coordinated with my cardiologist and explained everything to my daughter in Ankara. He restored my posture and dignity. I can look people in the eye again and hug my grandchildren without flinching. He treats the whole person, not just the chart.
I'm a professional violinist who developed focal dystonia in my right hand, a career-ending threat. My world was collapsing. Dr. Cindas, understanding the profound psychological component, approached it as a 're-learning' disorder of the brain, not just a muscle problem. His protocol included specialized EMG-biofeedback, sensorimotor retraining, and collaboration with a musician's therapist he recommended. He was a meticulous scientist and a compassionate coach. The recovery is slow and demanding, but for the first time, I have hope. He saved not just a hand, but a life's passion.
My 82-year-old mother, Fatma, was experiencing terrifying episodes where she'd lose all sense of time and place, calling me by my childhood nickname. Other neurologists dismissed it as dementia progression. Prof. Dr. Topaktas spent an hour just listening to her ramble, then ordered a specific EEG during sleep. He diagnosed transient epileptic amnesia, a condition I'd never heard of. The tailored medication regimen he prescribed has given us back the mother we knew. At Medical Park Ankara, he treats the person, not just the chart. We travel 300km for our follow-ups and will continue to do so.
Our 7-year-old son, Deniz, developed sudden, violent head jerks after a mild fever. The local hospital said 'tic disorder' and sent us home. Two days later, he couldn't hold a spoon. We rushed to Medical Park Ankara's emergency department at midnight. Dr. Topaktas was called in, he examined Deniz with a flashlight and his hands, not rushing despite the hour. He suspected FIRES (Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome) immediately, confirmed with urgent MRI. The aggressive treatment he started in the ICU saved Deniz's cognitive function. His team coordinated with pediatric ICU like a symphony. Our son is back drawing spaceships, thanks to this man's midnight instinct.
I'm a 45-year-old software engineer with what I called 'the wobbles', occasional balance issues I blamed on long hours. During a routine checkup for migraines, Dr. Topaktas noticed my subtle, inconsistent nystagmus during a specific eye movement test he invented on the spot (having me track his finger while tilting my head). He suspected a tiny brainstem cavernoma others had missed. The complex awake craniotomy he performed at Medical Park was surreal, he had me counting backwards in Turkish while he worked. Pathology confirmed his suspicion. His follow-up protocol involves novel vestibular rehab exercises using smartphone apps he helped design. He doesn't just practice medicine; he evolves it.
My husband, a 58-year-old carpenter, developed burning pain in his right thigh after a fall. For months, we saw specialists who prescribed painkillers and antidepressants. Dr. Topaktas, during what was supposed to be a routine neuropathy follow-up for me, overheard us in the waiting area discussing it. He asked permission to examine my husband then and there. Using a tuning fork and a paperclip, he mapped the exact territory of meralgia paresthetica. His solution? Not medication, but a precise ultrasound-guided injection of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. The procedure took ten minutes in his office. The relief was instant. He saw a patient in the wrong chair and still provided the right cure. That's the kind of doctor he is, one who treats what he hears, not just what's scheduled.
A 28-year-old female professional freediver presented with recurrent syncope during deep dives. Echocardiography revealed a previously undiagnosed patent foramen ovale with significant right-to-left shunting. Dr. Gunertem performed a minimally invasive transcatheter closure. The patient, who had no other medical history, made a full recovery and returned to competitive freediving within 8 weeks, with no further episodes.
A 72-year-old retired railway worker from a rural village presented with severe aortic stenosis and severe COPD, deemed inoperable at two other centers. He lived alone with minimal family support. Dr. Gunertem pioneered a novel, ultra-rapid deployment aortic valve replacement under conscious sedation, avoiding general anesthesia. The patient was walking the next day and discharged to a temporary rehabilitation facility on day 5, showing dramatic improvement in his quality of life.
A 17-year-old national-level wrestler was found to have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy during a pre-participation screening. His family, deeply invested in his athletic career, was devastated. Dr. Gunertem coordinated a complex care plan involving septal myectomy to reduce obstruction, followed by a tailored, year-long cardiac rehabilitation program. The athlete transitioned to coaching, with no symptoms at 18-month follow-up.
A 45-year-old Syrian refugee and mother of four, working as a cleaner, presented with critical mitral stenosis from untreated childhood rheumatic fever. She spoke minimal Turkish and had no health insurance. Dr. Gunertem arranged pro bono surgery through a hospital charity program, performing a minimally invasive mitral valve commission. Social workers helped secure temporary housing for her recovery. She returned to limited work after 3 months, able to care for her family.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Prof. MD. Meral Sen. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
