Areas of Expertise

Obesity Surgery

Expert in sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass and other bariatric surgical methods. With over 13 years of specialist experience, I apply modern laparoscopic techniques to help patients lose weight healthily and improve their quality of life.

Laparoscopic Surgery

Minimally invasive surgical techniques with smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery and aesthetic advantages. Laparoscopic approach in reflux, hernia, gallbladder and other abdominal surgeries.

Reflux and Hiatal Hernia Surgery

Laparoscopic fundoplication surgery for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernia treatment. Surgical methods providing permanent solutions for reflux patients who do not respond to medication.

Thyroid and Endocrine Surgery

Thyroid nodule, goiter and thyroid cancer surgeries. Safe thyroid surgery with minimal scarring using modern surgical techniques. Delicate operations with nerve monitoring to protect vocal cords.

My Surgical Philosophy and Patient Approach

I believe that every patient is unique. Therefore, I personalize treatment plans according to each individual's specific needs, health condition and lifestyle. In the detailed preoperative evaluation process, I answer all my patients' questions and fully inform them about the process.

Using the most current technologies offered by modern medicine and minimally invasive surgical techniques, I aim to provide my patients with the best results. Thanks to laparoscopic surgical methods, my patients experience less pain, recover faster, and can return to their daily lives sooner.

Postoperative follow-up and support are essential parts of successful treatment. I closely monitor my patients' recovery process with regular check-ups and provide guidance on nutrition counseling and lifestyle changes. Especially for my obesity surgery patients, I adopt a multidisciplinary approach for long-term success.

I provide services in Turkish and English, offering the best service to both local and international patients. The hospital I work at is in Darıca, Kocaeli — 30 minutes from Sabiha Gökçen Airport. Communication and trust form the foundation of the patient-doctor relationship; therefore, I take care to maintain an open and transparent dialogue with my patients.
