02 / Training & international experience

Training and career.

From his own biography page (content dated 26 Nov 2021). He began medical studies at Ankara University in 1980 and entered its general surgery clinic in 1987. He remained on the Ankara University surgical staff as a specialist, and learned laparoscopic gallbladder, hernia and stomach surgery there under named senior surgeons. He describes a visit to the Medical University of South Carolina focused on reflux surgery, and visiting-faculty positions in the clinics of Dr. Karl Miller (Salzburg), Dr. Raul Rosenthal (Cleveland) and Dr. Jacques Himpens (Genk). He retired from Ankara University in 2012 and opened his own clinic. The biography gives no dates for the visits, and no degree years.

Consultations take place at the surgeon's own clinic in Fulya, Beşiktaş. His site lists weekday hours of 08:00–19:00 and Saturday 08:00–16:00. It does not name a hospital where he operates. The practice confirms in writing where any surgery would take place. Before you commit, ask the practice to state in writing where any surgery would take place, who the facility's licence holder is, and which accreditation, if any, covers that facility.

Partnership strengthens visibility; it does not determine our editorial assessment or our personal recommendations. Featured collaborations are separated from the editorial selection and presented transparently.

No patient reviews or star ratings. No success or complication rates unless published in a peer-reviewed source. Nothing appears under this surgeon's name without their written agreement, and they may ask for the page to be withdrawn at any time.
