Cancer
Cancer is treatable today, yet it still frightens everyone. The tone of the first person who tells you the diagnosis is the most important factor in how you perceive the disease. I was lucky — that person turned out to be Assoc. Prof. Dr. Enver Ozkurt. After the examination, his face showed thoroughness and, most importantly, confidence. He explained everything in detail, removed the threatening cell and is now taking measures to ensure it does not return. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Enver Ozkurt is fighting. I walk alongside him with trust. Grateful.

Breast cancer
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I went through several hospitals and came to Çapa to Doctor Enver. He devoted a lot of time to me and explained everything very clearly and understandably. He spoke so confidently that I decided to undergo surgery and was cured of this disease. Doctor Enver, please never lose your smile and sincerity! Huge thanks for everything!

Breast lump
I came in with severe pain in my right breast. The doctor examined me, explained that a 1.5 cm lesion would not progress to cancer, and gave detailed advice on nutrition. At the follow-up visit he examined me again and, in a soft voice, explained how to monitor the pain. A doctor who understands the patient's psychology. He even remembered the date of my ultrasound and sent self-monitoring exercises. A truly remarkable doctor.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Our dear Doctor Enver successfully performed a laparoscopic cholecystectomy on my mother. Before the operation he explained all the stages in detail and created a feeling of confidence. Despite being a nurse myself, I worried as a relative — but the doctor was incredibly professional and reassured us with his sincere smile. Many thanks, it is good that you exist!

Gallbladder surgery
An ultrasound revealed that my mother had stones and a large amount of sediment in her gallbladder. Surgery was performed under the supervision of Doctor Enver. Despite the abscess and stones, everything went successfully. His explanations before the operation and attention afterwards were very reassuring. A very experienced doctor who loves his work and his patients. Grateful.
