Excellent doctor. Great person and professional. Pulled our child from the other world. I recommend!!!

I want to thank Dr. Ahmet Demir for the excellent work! He successfully performed a bone marrow transplant on my sister. I was a donor - everything was checked for compatibility at the clinic and it turned out that I fit. Thanks for your hard work!!!

We are undergoing treatment for osteosarcoma with metastases to the left lung. A 10-year-old child is undergoing treatment. We are treated at the Ankara Memorial. We are very satisfied with the quality and service, special thanks to Dr. Ahmet Demir. Excellent Doctor.

My child had a bone marrow transplant at Ankara Memorial. Everything went well. Great clinic, caring staff and excellent service. Thank you!

We express our gratitude to the entire staff of the Ankara Memorial Clinic for the good and conscientious attitude and attention to us, as well as to our doctor Ahmet Demir. Thank you for your hard work and kind heart. Thanks a lot.

I was at the Ichlov Clinic to see Dr. Oren. He is a wonderful doctor who explains everything well and clearly.

I had hepatitis C many years ago, and I had a suspicion of liver cancer. I went to different doctors, and there was no consensus - even after a biopsy. Prof. Shibolet from the Suraski Clinic reviewed the results of my biopsy and said for sure: I don't have cancer. That was probably the greatest joy of my life.

I am making my second "run" at hepatitis C treatment. The first one (six months of interferon and ribaverine) ended in failure. At the Suraski clinic I was prescribed new medications. I was just happy that the treatment was not 6 months but only 2 months. Now I am finally doing well.

I had hepatitis C and my doctor recommended everything I needed: supplements, detoxification and diet. I went to Israel to discuss all his recommendations. In the hepatology department of the Suraski clinic I was told that I am healthy and can live as before, no additional treatment is needed. So I saved a lot of time and money.

I came to the Assuta Clinic for treatment of cirrhosis. After an examination, which cost me less than $1,000, I was told that I had stage 2. I was treated by Oren Shibolet, who offered me an expensive but effective method - stem cells. After their introduction, my tests became much better, and my health improved. I continue my treatment at home and take the medications prescribed by the doctor.

I still can't believe that I was able to be cured - that I have a healthy liver in my body. I can finally look forward to the future and dream about what I will be doing in the coming years. I have no words to thank Prof. Nir Lubecki and the entire wonderful team at Suraska - the anesthesia and intensive care staff, the transplant surgeons, the pathologists and the liver department, the oncology department and the medical technologist who operated the perfusion machine. Thanks to all of you, I am healthy and happy here!

I was in the transplantation department of Sourasky clinic, a wonderful department, good attitude, care, thanks to all the staff.

The liver transplant at Sourasky Clinic was successful and the organ was accepted by my body. I have regular check-ups at the medical center in my home country every 2-3 months. I send the results to Nir Lubetski, who is in charge of my treatment in Israel.

After my daughter was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, we found Dr. Volkan. He became our greatest blessing after God. Even after treatment, he never left our side, no matter what time of day it was. His compassion, humanity and professionalism are all invaluable. Thank you, Dr. Volkan, for being you.

13/01/2020

We met Dr. Volkan when my daughter at the age of 11 had Hodgkin's lymphoma again in 2013. In May 2014, a bone marrow transplant was performed using her own cells. In late 2015 the disease came back again and we started treatment again. This time we were told that a bone marrow transplant from a donor would be required. Fortunately, a suitable donor was found from Germany in April 2016 and my daughter had another successful transplant. Now everything is fine, my daughter is studying at the lyceum and preparing for university. We are always grateful to Dr. Volkan for his experience, knowledge, humanity and fatherly attitude. We overcame the disease thanks to his support and, of course, God's will. We still turn to him if any problems arise. We trust him completely.

04/11/2019

My son was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. After a biopsy, treatment was started by Dr. Volkan. He is an amazing specialist who showed incredible care and attention throughout the treatment. We followed all protocols and Dr. Volkan was always there to support us at every moment. My son is now 24 years old and in great shape. We love Dr. Volkan very much and think he is an indispensable specialist for Turkey and all of humanity.

01/11/2019

I got sick for the first time when I was 5.5 years old. The disease came back several times. When it came back for the fourth time at the age of 16, I made the decision to have a bone marrow transplant and met Dr. Volkan. Because of his honesty and treatment methods, I went through it with less suffering. I loved that he explained the whole process in detail and shared the information with me first. Dr. Volkan is an excellent specialist. He continues to monitor my condition, although my check-ups are less frequent now. We still have a great relationship and I am grateful to him for everything.

31/10/2019

In January 2018, my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. On the advice of a friend, we contacted Dr. Volkan. A bone marrow transplant was recommended and the treatment was successful. Dr. Volkan is an incredibly knowledgeable specialist who explained in great detail what to expect and what to do. My daughter is alive thanks to God and the doctor. We continue to have follow-up exams, but I am immensely grateful to Dr. Volkan for his professionalism and care.

31/10/2019

After being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, I turned to Dr. Volkan. For two years I had active treatment. We are still in touch and continue with follow-up exams. His confidence and determination gave me peace of mind throughout this difficult and tiring period. I am now healthy and I am very grateful to him. As a future doctor, I consider him my idol.

30/10/2019

My son developed a tumor in his groin. We went to a government hospital from where we were referred to a research clinic. After biopsy, it was diagnosed as Lymphoma. We contacted Dr. Volkan and treatment started in 2017. The treatment was completed in 2018, but later that year our son developed a lung infection and Dr. Volkan again showed great care. He closely monitored his condition, called us and monitored the treatment. In 2019, the disease returned and a bone marrow transplant was scheduled. Dr. Volkan explained everything we needed to know in detail. My son underwent surgery and is doing well. Follow-up checkups are ongoing. Dr. Volkan always treated my son like an adult, which gave him confidence.

30/10/2019

My daughter was diagnosed with a tumor on the back of her hip and we were referred to an orthopedist. The diagnosis was later clarified as a Muscle Tumor and we needed an oncologist. An acquaintance of mine recommended Dr. Volkan. We received all the medical care we needed from him. He arranged for chemotherapy and referred us for radiotherapy. The treatment was successful. Dr. Volkan was always on call, answering our calls day and night. He treated my daughter as his own child. Now my daughter is healthy. We are very satisfied and grateful to Dr. Volkan and recommend him to everyone.

29/10/2019

We went to Dr. Volkan on the recommendation of a friend. My son developed a tumor on his neck, which after biopsy was diagnosed as Lymphoma. We underwent chemotherapy and have been in the check up phase for two years now. Dr. Volkan is a very friendly person and he has a great rapport with the children. We are very satisfied with his care and attention, my son also liked the doctor very much.

29/10/2019

Our child was diagnosed with a brain tumor. We went through a course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. After a year, the disease came back and after our research, we concluded that the best treatment would be a stem cell transplant. We brought all the tests and examinations and Dr. Volkan himself wanted to examine our child. After the examination, he prescribed the treatment. Throughout the treatment process, he provided not only medical but also moral support and showed great care for our son. The treatment was completed 10 months ago and everything is fine now. Our son has returned to his studies and continues to live a normal life. We are grateful to Dr. Volkan for giving us a second chance.

28/10/2019

We went to Dr. Volkan on a recommendation. My daughter was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Thanks to the doctor and chemotherapy, my daughter has recovered. She didn't even lose her hair. The treatment was also supplemented with radiotherapy and after 4.5 months she was fully recovered. I am very grateful to Dr. Volkan for his care and professionalism. He is a true gentleman. For any mother to find out that her child has cancer is a big ordeal, but Dr. Volkan was always there for me when I needed help. Thank him so much for everything. If I ever have a problem again, I will only go to him, no matter where he works.

28/10/2019

My daughter was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin's lymphoma. Dr. Volkan administered six courses of chemotherapy. The treatment was successful, things went easier than expected due to his treatment methods. We could contact the doctor at any time and he was always in touch. He carefully monitored the treatment process and reminded us of scheduled appointments when we forgot. My daughter suffered from depression and Dr. Volkan helped her deal with that as well. We are very pleased with his treatment and even after being reassigned, we continue to follow his recommendations. Our daughter feels great and is living a full life. We are very grateful to Dr. Volkan..

25/10/2019

We went to the hospital because of our son's lack of appetite and vomiting. After an MRI, he was diagnosed with a Brain Tumor. We heard about Dr. Volkan and decided to meet him. He received us in a very warm and friendly manner. He is a great doctor who is always willing to help. We were able to contact him at any time of the day or night and he always returned our calls. Our son is continuing his treatment and thanks to Dr. Volkan he is feeling much better. He is a very experienced specialist and we are very satisfied with his work.

25/10/2019

I had a kidney transplant 2 days ago. I would like to thank Mr. Ayhan and his team, they were very caring and respectful. Thank God, I have recovered my health.

I am very grateful to the organ transplant team. From the clinic on the 2nd floor to the hospital on the 10th floor, the doctor and nurses are very professional, and we were very warmly welcomed as if we were relatives. Ms. Pelin who is in charge of the floor and her team, our doctor Ayhan and the clinic team were incredible, I recommend them to everyone.

The doctors of this hospital are very good, the transplant department is excellent, Professor Ayhan is excellent, I recommend it to everyone.

All recommendations for İstinye Universität Hastanesi Hospital! The best decision I made in my life. I have a long-standing liver problem, I was told in my country that I need a transplant, so I came to Turkey, after a detailed examination, the doctors simply changed my therapy, and after 10 days, my condition improved significantly. Thanks to Professor Ayhan Dincan and Fatih Ensaroglu, as well as other experts. I also want to thank Iliriana Cachar (translator) and Ertuğrul Er (manager) who are very kind and do a great job. You can't go wrong if you come here!

I am very satisfied with İstinye Universiteit Hastanesi, the doctors and workers are very kind, smiling and professional in their work. All checks are quick and easy. My sister came to Turkey because of liver disease, and Prof. doctor. Aykhan Dinсkan and Uzm. doctor. Fatih Ensaroglu found a solution to keep her disease under control and now her condition is improving. We are lucky to be in this hospital. The Serbian translator Iliriana Kacar has been a great help both professionally and privately as she has shown great friendly support, as has Ertuğrul Er, the director of the hospital, a very nice person who is easy to get along with, he is always smiling and pleasant. Warmest recommendations for this hospital.

Number one in organ transplants. You can trust Ayhan Dinсkan and his team with your eyes closed. We are grateful to their team for their professionalism, experience and encouraging smiles.

When my father was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis after two colonoscopies and numerous tests, we couldn't start the right treatment for a long time. After meeting Dr. Fatih Oguz Onder, everything changed. Already at the first consultation, he explained everything in detail, answered our questions, and immediately began treatment. This brought back our hope and peace of mind. We are very grateful to the doctor for his professionalism and sincere attitude toward patients.

18/01/2024

We met Professor Fatih Oguz Onder 7 years ago when my husband was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. At that time it was a huge shock for our family, but the doctor became our support and hope. Thanks to his treatment and attentive monitoring, my husband has been feeling stable for many years. We are infinitely grateful for his professionalism, humanity, and support.

11/07/2023

Symptoms of ulcerative colitis bothered me from the age of 17, but several doctors failed to make the correct diagnosis. Only Dr. Fatih Oguz Onder was able to identify the disease and stop its development. I have been observed by him for 4 years now, and thanks to the treatment, I am in remission most of the time. I really appreciate his attitude toward patients, professionalism, and humane approach.

21/10/2021

I have consulted many doctors, but I have never met such a professional as Fatih Oguz Onder. From the moment of the first consultation in January 2020, he helped me not only with treatment but also with moral support. After the follow-up colonoscopy, the results were very good, and I was able to discontinue some of the medications. The doctor always answers questions in detail and inspires complete trust.

20/01/2021

About a month ago, I was undergoing treatment in the hospital with acute pancreatitis. While my attending doctor was away, Fatih Oguz Onder took care of me. He helped at the first stage of treatment and gave the impression of a very professional and attentive doctor. I would also like to note the strong gastroenterological team at Acibadem.

04/05/2019

For a year I suffered from severe stomach pain, chest pain, and reflux. Despite consulting various doctors, it was the treatment prescribed by Fatih Oguz Onder that helped me feel relief. He is a very patient and attentive doctor who explains the disease in detail and supports the patient morally. Thanks to him, I once again felt how important it is to live without pain.

29/11/2017

I have been observed by the doctor for about a month and a half. He helped me a lot to cope with Helicobacter pylori and severe reflux. I am sincerely grateful for his help and attentive attitude.

05/03/2017

On May 27, 2018, my wife was admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. On June 5, thanks to a very successful operation, our daughter was born.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Assoc. Prof. Ebru Celik, Assoc. Prof. Bulent Baran and Prof. Oguzhan Deyneli for their support and professionalism throughout the entire period. I also thank the whole staff of the department — the nurses, security and cleaning personnel.

15/07/2021

We consulted Dr. Bulent Baran regarding a liver disease. He explained the condition in great detail, calmly answered all our questions and helped us choose the right treatment approach. Throughout the entire process we felt supported and confident. We highly recommend this doctor.

21/04/2019

Since October 9, our family went through a very difficult period — my daughter was suspected of having Crohn's disease. There were hospitalizations, stress and a serious deterioration of her psychological state.
I would like to thank Dr. Bulent Baran not only as a physician, but also as a person. He supported my daughter at every stage of treatment. She is still under his observation and has already made great progress thanks to his help.
If you have any suspicion of Crohn's disease or have already been diagnosed, I sincerely recommend reaching out to Assoc. Prof. Bulent Baran at Koç University Hospital.

17/12/2018

We greatly appreciate Dr. Bulent Baran. He is a physician who genuinely cares about his patients and goes far beyond what is expected of him.
I saw how he fought for a patient until the very last moments of life and how deeply he experienced that situation. Such an attitude is impossible to forget. A truly rare person and a real doctor. I wish him health and many long years of life.

10/10/2013

At the moment when our hope had almost faded, Almighty Allah sent us this wonderful man — Professor Koray Acarli. I prayed: "God, will I ever be able to sit at the same table and eat together with my child?" Allah made him precisely the means by which these prayers were answered.

Dear doctor, we will never forget you throughout our entire lives. Now Poyraz and I are living our happiest days thanks to you. May Allah grant you a long life. Paradise has eight gates — may the Lord grant you the right to enter through any of them you wish.

You are a wonderful person. No matter how much we thank you and your team, it will never be enough. We love you.

14/08/2025

Doctor, you and your team are such wonderful people that it cannot be expressed in words. May the Almighty be pleased with you and your team.

You have given the joy of life to many families just like ours. With the deepest respect, I express my gratitude to you.

Greetings from Eskişehir.

In October 2015 I was hospitalized at the Çapa Faculty of Medicine with a diagnosis of "liver cancer." After a year of anticancer treatment I was ready for transplantation, but at Çapa they kept delaying the operation because the risk of a fatal outcome was high. This continued until we found our Koray hodja. Koray hodja told me: "Since you are a complex case, no one will easily take on your transplant. We take the risk," — and gave me the green light. My donor was also ready, and as a result of a long (13.5-hour) operation, after which our hodja told my relatives, "This is the first time I have performed such a transplant," on November 22, 2016 I returned to life. I was discharged after 8 days in intensive care and 29 days in the ward. Follow-up continues. I am endlessly grateful to our hodja Koray bey and the entire transplantation department team.

28/02/2020

I underwent a liver transplant at Memorial Şişli Hospital on October 10, 2012. May Allah be pleased with you all. Now I am very healthy, my liver is in excellent condition. Later a problem arose with my spleen — it was also removed. Apparently this is how Allah wrote it in my fate — I stayed in the hospital longer than anyone. Everyone was discharged on day 7, and I exactly on day 40. I caused the nurses and orderlies many difficult moments — I ask everyone for forgiveness. Great thanks to everyone, to the entire organ transplantation team, above all to Professor Dr. Münci Kalayoğlu, Professor Dr. Koray Acarli, associate professor Dr. Turan Kanmaz who was constantly by our side, operator Dr. Yücel Yankol, operator Dr. Nesimi Mecit. To my doctors, to the blood bank staff who sent blood when I needed it, to the general intensive care staff who fulfilled all my requests, to the angels of the hospital — our nurses and orderlies who came running for our every need, to the cafeteria and café staff who never left me without food, and to the security guards who ensured our peace — thank you.

22/12/2012

In 2009 I was diagnosed and treated at many hospitals. The doctors at these hospitals said that I would not survive a transplant. The last time I lay in the hospital for 40 days, and my condition worsened even more. Then, after meeting Münci hodja and Koray hodja, I gained hope that I would recover. Based on the results of our hodjas’ examinations they said a transplant was possible, and on February 23, 2012 a transplant was performed from my twin. Now I have returned to health and am very happy. I am doing well, praise Allah. Enormous gratitude to the doctors who performed the operation — above all to the esteemed Professor Dr. Münci Kalayoğlu and the esteemed Professor Dr. Koray Acarli, the entire organ transplantation team, the coordinators Nilgün hanım and Altan bey, the nurses on the 7th floor of building B, and all the staff — for their attention and professional attitude toward their work.

23/03/2012

On October 1, 2007 you gave me life again. Dear Münci Kalayoğlu, Koray Acarli, Yücel Yankol, and all the Memorial staff who put in their effort — on March 14, 2012, on the occasion of World Medicine Day, I once again express my gratitude. You gave me life again. For exactly 4.5 years now I have been living without any problems. Thank you. May all happiness be yours.
