Medical Park Ankara (Batıkent) Reviews

The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. Spec. MD. Meral Oren's expertise. Highly recommend for pediatrics treatment.

My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Spec. MD. Meral Oren. The hospital staff was also very supportive.

As a 28-year-old competitive freediver, my resting heart rate had dropped to an alarming 28 bpm. Multiple doctors dismissed it as 'athlete's heart,' but Dr. Yildiz noticed subtle irregularities in my ECG that others missed. He diagnosed me with a rare form of sinus node dysfunction requiring a specialized pacemaker. His understanding of extreme physiology saved my diving career and possibly my life during deep dives.

My 94-year-old grandmother, a Holocaust survivor with severe dementia, developed acute heart failure. Other cardiologists saw only her age and cognitive decline. Dr. Yildiz spent an hour reviewing her pre-war medical records from Vienna we'd brought, then designed a gentle diuretic regimen that respected her frailty. She stabilized without hospitalization, and he taught our family to monitor her through subtle behavioral cues rather than complex measurements.

During my 22nd week of pregnancy with twins, I developed peripartum cardiomyopathy. As a first-time mother, I was terrified of choosing between my health and my babies'. Dr. Yildiz coordinated a revolutionary protocol with my obstetrician, using carefully monitored medication that crossed the placenta minimally. He monitored me daily via secure video calls. Both babies were born healthy at 36 weeks, and my heart function has fully recovered.

My 11-year-old son, a chess prodigy, began fainting during tournaments. We'd seen three pediatric cardiologists who found nothing. Dr. Yildiz observed him during a timed chess match in his office and noticed the faints coincided with prolonged breath-holding during concentration. He diagnosed a rare vasovagal variant triggered by mental strain, not physical exertion, and created a 'chess-specific' hydration and breathing protocol that eliminated the episodes completely.

As a Turkish Airlines pilot, I developed unexplained atrial fibrillation at 41, threatening my aviation career. Dr. Yildiz, understanding aviation regulations intimately, performed a cryoablation using a novel 3D mapping system he'd helped develop. What made him extraordinary was his post-procedure advocacy: he personally communicated with aviation authorities in medical terms they accepted, getting me recertified in record time.

My husband, a 63-year-old retired glassblower, suffered a 'silent' heart attack. Dr. Yildiz noticed something others didn't, tiny silica particles in his capillaries from decades of inhalation. He connected this to his coronary microvascular disease, a diagnosis typically missed in men. The treatment plan addressed both his heart and occupational lung damage, something no cardiologist had ever considered in 15 years of care.

After my heart transplant at 19, I developed severe cardiac allograft vasculopathy. Dr. Yildiz rejected the standard aggressive intervention, noting my unique immune markers suggested a different pathology. He pioneered a combination of immunosuppression adjustment and targeted radiation therapy that reversed the vasculopathy. Five years later, I'm the longest-surviving transplant patient with this complication at Medical Park Ankara.

My 8-year-old daughter with Down syndrome developed complete heart block. Most doctors recommended immediate pacemaker implantation. Dr. Yildiz discovered through meticulous monitoring that her block occurred only during deep sleep, a phenomenon documented in only seven cases worldwide. He prescribed a simple sleep position adjustment and low-dose medication, avoiding surgery entirely. His willingness to investigate the exception changed her life.

As a 77-year-old retired calligrapher with essential tremor, my hand shakes made traditional blood pressure monitoring impossible. Dr. Yildiz invented a modified cuff system that used my leg instead, then taught me to correlate the readings with my tremor severity. He treated my hypertension while simultaneously improving my tremor through cardiovascular optimization, my calligraphy has actually improved since starting his care.

During the 2023 earthquake, I was trapped for 18 hours with crush injuries that caused severe hyperkalemia and cardiac arrest upon rescue. Dr. Yildiz was part of the disaster team that met our ambulance. He recognized I was in a rare calcium-channel blocker overdose state from muscle breakdown, not a typical heart attack. His immediate intravenous calcium infusion saved my life before I even reached the ICU.

My 33-year-old non-verbal autistic brother developed tachycardia whenever hospitalized. Doctors dismissed it as anxiety. Dr. Yildiz spent a day observing him, noticing the tachycardia spiked exactly 22 minutes after fluorescent lights turned on in his room. He diagnosed photosensitive dysautonomia, installed special lighting, and prescribed timed medication, eliminating the 'unexplained' heart issues entirely.

As a 52-year-old marathon runner, I developed exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia. Rather than stopping my running, Dr. Yildiz, an ultramarathoner himself, created a 'cardiac training program.' He used a wearable monitor to identify the exact heart rate threshold where arrhythmias began, then designed interval training to raise that threshold. I've now run three marathons faster than before my diagnosis, with perfect rhythm.

My newborn grandson was born with heterotaxy syndrome, his heart was mirrored and malpositioned. Surgeons refused to operate due to complexity. Dr. Yildiz used 3D printing to create an exact replica of the heart, then spent nights experimenting with catheter-based approaches on the model. He ultimately performed a transcatheter procedure that bought crucial development time, allowing successful surgery at six months when anatomy was more favorable.

After surviving stage 4 lymphoma at 45, chemotherapy left me with irreversible heart damage and severe depression. Dr. Yildiz integrated cardiac rehabilitation with psycho-cardiology, having me monitor how specific emotions affected my heart rhythm variability. He created an 'emotional pacing' plan as carefully as a medication regimen. For the first time, a doctor treated my heart and my spirit as interconnected organs.

As a 72-year-old retired opera singer, I thought my performing days were over when a rare granulomatous condition destroyed my nasal septum. Dr. Sener didn't just reconstruct my nose; he preserved the specific resonance chambers crucial for singing. During surgery, he played classical music and had me hum specific notes while under local anesthesia to tune the reconstruction. Six months later, I performed at my granddaughter's wedding.

My 8-year-old son, a competitive swimmer, developed exostoses in both ear canals from cold water exposure. Dr. Sener created a custom surgical plan that involved 3D-printed guides from his CT scans to precisely remove the bone growths while preserving his unique ear anatomy. The recovery involved special ear molds he designed himself. My son now wears them during training and recently broke his personal best time.

I'm a 28-year-old sound engineer who developed sudden unilateral hearing loss. Dr. Sener suspected an autoimmune cause others missed. He coordinated with rheumatology and designed a treatment combining intratympanic injections with frequency-specific sound therapy. He even analyzed my audio workstation setup to recommend acoustic modifications. My hearing returned to 95% in my affected ear - crucial for my stereo field work.

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