Clinic: Florence Nightingale Hastanesi

Diagnosis: Oncology

We have extensive experience and many memories with this hospital. This time, I’ll start from the end.
Our doctor, Prof. Dr. Çetin Ordu, transferred here, and we also began our treatment, check-ups, and examinations at this clinic. Dr. Çetin is a skilled and knowledgeable oncologist. He cares about the well-being of his patients, has excellent communication skills, is compassionate, and an expert in his field. His assistant, Ms. Merve, also helps patients and their families with care and courtesy. In an illness where moral support is especially needed, Çetin bey is the right person 🙏🏻

We also thank the nurses and the team on the 3rd floor for their support during the recent hospitalization.
The head oncology nurse, Ms. Meltem, the floor supervisor nurse, Ms. Kübra, and team members İrem, Murat, Gizem, Ahmet, Derya, Berfin, and Sevde — thank you.

In addition, our ophthalmologists Diğdem Beğendi, and in the eye department — Rabia and Hilal;
the radiology team leaders,
patient coordinator Rukiye, oncology team member Ahmet bey, and our doctors for my mother and me — Cem İyibozkurt — all made a significant difference. Thank you for your dedication.

Diagnosis: Mitral valve replacement

I have a congenital heart defect, a disease that has recently worsened my general condition. A friend who has already been treated in Turkey advised me to visit the Florence Nightingel clinic. At the stage of diagnostics, I was consulted by a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon. I underwent 24-hour ECG monitoring, ultrasound of the heart, heart scintigraphy and general tests. Based on the results of the examination, the doctors advised to perform mitral valve replacement. I tolerated the operation well, now I feel great. I returned home and enjoy an active life.
