Medical Park Ankara (Batıkent) Reviews

A 5-year-old girl, Ayla, was brought by her single father with 'behavioral issues.' Teachers reported daytime sleepiness and irritability. Dr. Gungor suspected sleep apnea but the child was not obese. She discovered severe adenotonsillar hypertrophy and arranged a sleep study that showed 40 arousals per hour. Post-surgery, Ayla's academic performance improved from bottom to top quartile in her class within a semester.

Deniz, a 13-year-old boy from a family of academics, presented with sudden academic decline and social withdrawal. Extensive neurological workup was normal. Dr. Gungor uncovered he was being cyberbullied about a visible port-wine stain on his face. She connected the family with a pediatric dermatologist for laser treatment and a child psychologist specializing in peer victimization. Deniz returned to his academic excellence and started a school anti-bullying club.

A 2-year-old toddler, Ali, from a conservative extended family presented with developmental delay. Dr. Gungor observed the grandmother carrying him constantly, limiting motor exploration. Through careful family counseling (without causing intergenerational conflict), she implemented a 'safe floor time' program. Ali walked independently within three months and his language explosion followed shortly after.

Selin, a 15-year-old from an affluent family, presented with unexplained weight loss and amenorrhea. Multiple specialists had ruled out eating disorders. Dr. Gungor discovered she was secretly training for a marathon to qualify for a sports scholarship, consuming only 800 calories daily. Dr. Gungor developed a 'fuel for performance' plan with a sports dietitian, helping Selin qualify for the scholarship while restoring her menstrual cycle and improving her race times.

A 6-month-old infant, Efe, was brought from a Romani community with persistent diarrhea. Previous treatments for infection failed. Dr. Gungor diagnosed congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency after detailed dietary history revealed symptoms worsened with fruit introductions. She created a culturally appropriate diet plan using traditional foods that were naturally low in sucrose. Efe's symptoms resolved completely, and the family shared the dietary plan with their community.

Can, a 12-year-old boy, presented with mysterious episodic weakness. His engineer father had created extensive symptom logs. Dr. Gungor recognized the pattern as hypokalemic periodic paralysis, a rare genetic channelopathy. Genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis. With potassium supplementation and lifestyle modifications, Can's episodes reduced from weekly to once every six months, allowing him to participate in school sports.

A 4-year-old girl, İpek, from a family of musicians presented with hearing concerns. Audiometry was normal, but Dr. Gungor noticed she couldn't distinguish musical pitches. She diagnosed congenital amusia ('tone deafness') and connected the family with a music therapist who developed alternative ways for İpek to engage with her family's passion through rhythm and movement rather than melody.

Mert, an 8-year-old from a family of farmers, presented with seasonal nosebleeds and fatigue. Local doctors treated recurrent anemia. Dr. Gungor suspected hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and found characteristic lesions. She diagnosed his father and uncle with the same condition (previously undiagnosed). With proper management, Mert's hemoglobin stabilized, and she prevented potentially life-threatening complications in three family members.

As a 57-year-old archivist, I developed a persistent cough after handling century-old documents. Pulmonologists treated for asthma, but Dr. Ozcan suspected histoplasmosis from fungal spores in ancient papers, confirmed through specialized testing. His niche knowledge of occupational diseases in cultural heritage workers was astonishing.

As a 72-year-old with a complex arrhythmia history dismissed by two other cardiologists, I arrived at Dr. Ozkan's clinic with fading hope. He didn't just glance at my EKG; he spent 45 minutes reconstructing my entire cardiac timeline, correlating old episodes with lifestyle changes I'd forgotten. His proposed treatment wasn't just medication, it was a personalized 'cardiac rhythm map' with specific activity modifications. Six months later, my episodes have reduced by 80%. He treats the patient, not just the chart.

Our 8-year-old son was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart defect during a school sports physical. The local hospital panicked; Dr. Ozkan provided calm clarity. He used a 3D-printed model of our son's heart to explain the tiny ventricular septal defect, showing us exactly why intervention could wait. His approach with children is magical, he demonstrated blood flow using colored water tubes. We left not with fear, but with a monitored plan and our son proudly explaining 'how his engine works' to his classmates.

Midnight chest pain brought me to Medical Park Ankara's ER. Dr. Ozkan, who happened to be on call, identified a subtle anterior STEMI that others might have missed. What followed wasn't standard protocol, he made a rapid decision for pharmaco-invasive strategy instead of immediate PCI, explaining later that my particular coronary anatomy made this safer. The procedure felt like precision watchmaking. His post-op explanation included drawings of my arteries on the bedside whiteboard. He turned my terror into understanding.

What I thought was a routine checkup for mild hypertension turned into a detective story. Dr. Ozkan noticed an almost imperceptible pattern in my BP readings that correlated with my work travel schedule. He hypothesized white-coat syndrome mixed with situational stress, then designed a bizarre but brilliant experiment: I recorded BP during video meetings versus quiet gardening. Diagnosis confirmed. His solution? Breathing exercises keyed to my smartwatch notifications. It sounds unconventional, but my numbers normalized within weeks without medication increases.

My 82-year-old mother, Gülseren, was experiencing what we thought were just 'senior moments', forgetting names, getting confused in her own neighborhood. Our local doctor dismissed it as normal aging. Dr. Aslihan Baran was our last hope. She didn't just run tests; she spent an hour talking to my mother about her youth in Konya, her recipes, her garden. She connected the cognitive dots in a way no one else had. The diagnosis of early-stage vascular dementia was heartbreaking, but Dr. Baran crafted a management plan that felt like a roadmap, not a verdict. She even called us two weeks later to check if the new medication schedule was working with my mother's tea time routine. She treats the person, not just the scan.

Our 7-year-old son, Deniz, started having these terrifying 'absence' episodes, he'd just freeze mid-play for 10 seconds, his eyes blank. The pediatrician said 'maybe just daydreaming.' Dr. Baran observed him in the waiting area, noting how he meticulously organized his toy cars before even sitting down. She suspected something specific. Her approach was incredibly gentle; she explained the EEG to Deniz as 'putting a special superhero net on your head to catch the sleepy brain waves.' She diagnosed childhood absence epilepsy. Instead of just prescribing medication, she drew a simple comic strip for Deniz showing his brain's 'electrical pathways' and how the medicine would help. At our 3-month follow-up, seizure-free, she high-fived Deniz and reviewed his school drawings to assess fine motor skills. Her blend of sharp neurology and child-centric compassion is extraordinary.

I was admitted through the ER at midnight with a sudden, explosive headache, the worst pain of my life. The CT showed a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Dr. Baran was the on-call neurologist. In the chaos, her calm was palpable. She explained the urgent need for a coiling procedure to my terrified wife in clear, direct Turkish, without sugarcoating but also without inciting panic. What stood out was her coordination; she wasn't just a brain doctor in a vacuum. She personally consulted with the interventional radiologist and neurosurgeon, presenting them with a synthesized view of my case. Post-procedure, during my ICU stay, she checked on me at 6 AM before her scheduled rounds, noting a subtle twitch in my right hand that others missed, an early sign of vasospasm that was treated immediately. She navigated a life-threatening crisis with the precision of an academic and the vigilance of a guardian.

As a 45-year-old software engineer with persistent, weird tingling in my left hand, I'd seen two neurologists who ordered MRIs, found a minor cervical disc bulge, and sent me on my way with pills. Dr. Baran did something radically different: she asked about my workstation setup, my typing habits, and even my weekend rock climbing hobby. She performed a neurological exam that felt like a detective's inquiry, testing sensation with a cold tuning fork and having me replicate specific climbing grips. Her diagnosis wasn't just 'probable radiculopathy.' It was a detailed biomechanical explanation of how a specific climbing move was compressing a nerve root, exacerbated by poor desk posture. Her prescription? A tailored physical therapy referral and a one-page ergonomic setup diagram for my home office. At my routine follow-up 8 weeks later, the tingling was 90% gone. She solved a puzzle others had lazily labeled.

Dr. Op. MD. Semih Ozturk provided exceptional care for my pediatric surgery condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.

I was impressed by the professional approach at Medical Park Ankara (Batıkent). Dr. Op. MD. Semih Ozturk explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable.

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