I had an excellent experience under the care of Dr. Abdullah Sisik for my right inguinal hernia repair.
From the initial consultation through post-operative follow-up, Dr. Sisik demonstrated a high level of professionalism, precision, and patient-centered care. I was initially skeptical about the use of mesh, but Dr. Sisik took the time to thoroughly explain the Lichtenstein repair technique, including the role of mesh, the alternatives, and the associated benefits and risks. He presented each option with the full scope of his knowledge, allowing me to make a well-informed decision without pressure. That level of transparency and respect for patient autonomy was greatly appreciated.
The surgery was performed using the Lichtenstein mesh repair technique, and my recovery has been smooth and well-managed. By day 8, I am already walking comfortably and pain-free, with only the expected and appropriate restrictions on lifting and strenuous activity.
One moment that truly stood out was being transported from my hospital bed into surgery. Just before anesthesia, the nurses surrounding me were all smiling and waving goodbye—an incredibly reassuring and human gesture. Moments later, I was asleep. That level of warmth and attentiveness made a lasting impression.
The nursing staff were attentive, responsive, and supportive throughout my stay, which made a meaningful difference in my overall comfort and recovery. Additionally, the dietitian provided clear and informative guidance that helped me better understand how to support my healing through nutrition.
Ersoy Hospital itself was exceptionally clean, quiet, and well-maintained, creating a calm environment that supported recovery. The room accommodations were very comfortable, including a day bed that allowed my wife to stay with me overnight, which made a significant difference. The food provided was excellent, and the Kurtköy area is conveniently located near shops and grocery stores, making everything easily accessible.
There were no complications, and the overall outcome has exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Dr. Sisik and his team, as well as Ersoy Hospital, to anyone seeking skilled and comprehensive care for hernia repair.
