====Testimonials====
Recommended Gynecologists:
 
* '''Dr. Munip Berberoglugil, Vital Fulya Plaza, Sisli''' - I warmly recommend gynaecologist Dr. Munip Berberoglugil at Vital Fulya Plaza in Sisli who cares a lot about his patients, studied in Brussels and speaks perfect French and English. He fixed me up after the surgery at Acibadem which had left me with abnormal bleeding and lots of questions (they did not even bother to make a second appointment after surgery for control, which is often free - like at Amerikan hastanesi for example).


'''Acibadem Maslak'''
* '''Prof. Dr. Yucel Karaman''' - He is an authority, both in Istanbul as in Brussels, in the field of fertility problems and excellent gynaeclogist. He also speaks French and English.


Testimonial 1: I was very unhappy with a gynaecological check up at Acibadem Maslak hospital lately. It is all about the money rather than about the patient. I am not complaining about the medical care but about the total lack of information i got by the doctor. (Asked the same question 3 times : why my endometrium was abnormally thick but all she could say was she had to do a hysteroscopy and perform a biopsy of my endometrium first and send it to the lab) This scared me to the point i agreed for immediate surgery the next morning without asking around, since i thought it might be cancer. I guess i was unlucky to end up with a gynaecologist that was bad in communication. She didn't even tell me i was going to have general anesthesia( so i planned to drive to the hospital myself) When i woke up I was not given any info, except that they had found polyps and sent it to the lab. Afterwards another doctor translated the report: they had removed a benign myoma and did a curettage) I was not given any hygenic pads (nobody told me beforehand i would be bleeding either). I was complaining about pain and they said it was normal, gave me a prescription to buy pain killers at the pharmacy before going home (in my country they give you the necessary medication before going home as well as complete detailed information by the doctor. ) I just felt awful and scared because i didn't know what was wrong with me.  
'''Cevahir Tekcan, Liv Hospital Ulus''' - Recommended by someone in the family. Her name is Cevahir Tekcan and she is amazing. Takes good care of you, makes you comfortable and speaks to you straight. And she doesn't try to push you to an expensive surgery if she can avoid it.


Testimonial 2: I had an experience and Acibadem Maslak, with this lady ob gyn. I forgot her name, but it wasn't pleased at all. I needed to ask the same question multiple times and still couldn't get clear info. And she was just trying to get me to do a surgery without further tests before, just with basic control. So my bf and i decided to try anpther doctor.  
'''Dr. Hakan, Maltepe Delta Hospital''' - Recommended by a user. She says, "He is my gyno he also delivered my son. He is very friendly, speaks english -- not perfect but I had no problem understanding him. Very helpful."
