Professor Erakgün is simply outstanding in retinal surgery. He handled my emergency retinal detachment with incredible skill and calm. Knowing his international training (Belgium, Germany) and that he's even designed surgical tools is hugely reassuring. The care at Kaşkaloğlu was first-rate. He genuinely saved my vision.
Needed specialized treatment for macular degeneration and was referred to Dr. Erakgün. His focus on retina and vitreoretinal surgery is exactly what was needed. He's clearly a leader in his field, with vast experience (15,000+ surgeries!). Explained complex issues clearly. Feel very fortunate to be under his care.
Prof Erakgün is a master of his craft. He dealt with complications from a previous eye surgery performed elsewhere. His expertise, especially in areas like diabetic retinopathy and trauma, is evident. It’s quite something that surgeons worldwide use instruments he designed! Absolute top-tier specialist.

Dr. Toydemir is the go-to surgeon for reflux issues. After suffering for years, his laparoscopic expertise finally resolved my severe GERD. His experience working with Prof. Yerdel and his time in New York studying bariatric techniques show his dedication. Professional, clear communication, and fantastic results. Highly recommended.
Professor Toydemir performed my gastric sleeve surgery. His focus on advanced laparoscopy and his board certification gave me immense confidence. He was thorough in explaining the procedure and potential outcomes. His experience, including time spent learning revision techniques in the US, is invaluable. Excellent surgeon.
If considering bariatric surgery, look no further than Dr. Toydemir. His extensive experience, combined with international training and his professorship, puts him at the top. He has a very reassuring, professional approach and ensures you are fully informed. The follow-up care has also been excellent. Great choice for weight loss surgery.

Blimey, where do I start? Had the BPD/DS with the doc about 9 months back. Honestly, totally life-changing. The weight's just dropped off, feel like a new bloke. The surgeon was brilliant, proper skilled, explained everything clearly. Bit nervous beforehand, naturally, but the whole team made me feel dead comfortable. Recovery wasn't a walk in the park, mind, but worth every second. Feel healthier than I have in donkeys' years. If you're thinking about it, just go for it. Top marks all round, really chuffed with the results. Cheers doc!

My BPD/DS journey with the surgeon and his team was remarkably smooth, considering how complex it is. From the initial consultation, he was thorough, patient, and answered all my questions, putting my mind at ease. The surgery itself went well, and the post-op care was excellent. The nurses were attentive, and the doctor checked in regularly. Adjusting to the new diet is ongoing, but the support provided has been fantastic. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. It’s a significant operation, but having such a competent and reassuring surgeon made all the difference for me.

Right then, had my BPD/DS surgery done by this surgeon a fair while back. Can't fault the man himself – top notch, knows his stuff inside out. The procedure went as planned, and the results are undeniable, the weight loss is significant. Recovery had its moments, felt pretty knackered the first few weeks, which is expected I suppose. Only tiny niggle was the hospital admin felt a bit slow sometimes sorting appointments, but that’s hardly the doc’s fault, is it? The important bit – the surgery and the surgeon's skill – was absolutely spot on. Definitely the right decision.

I was so terribly scared before my BPD/DS operation, but the doctor was just wonderful. He has such a calming way about him, explained everything without making it sound too terrifying, which really gave me the confidence I needed. The surgery has truly given me my life back – my type 2 diabetes is in remission, I can play with my grandkids properly now without getting breathless. It's like night and day. The aftercare has been great too, always someone to talk to if I have worries. Honestly, feeling quite emotional thinking about how much things have improved. Forever grateful.

Margaret Green | Toygar Toydemir | Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)

Well, what can I say? The surgeon's a proper legend. Had the Duodenal Switch thingy, bit of a mouthful that one, innit? Was bricking it beforehand, if I'm honest, but he was so down-to-earth, made you feel like you were his only patient that day. Surgery went without a hitch. The follow-up has been bang on too – they really keep an eye on you, making sure you're taking the vitamins and all that jazz. Honestly, best thing I ever did for myself. Feel fitter than a butcher's dog now! Big thanks to the doc and all the lovely staff.

Man, getting this balloon thing done by the doc was way smoother than I figured. He broke it all down real simple, no fancy talk. Felt like he actually listened, y'know? The procedure was quick. Now I'm finally getting a grip on my eating habits. Big thanks to him and his crew. Good people over there.

John Littlehawk | Umut Rıza Gündüz | Intragastric Balloon

Okay, so I was pretty spooked about the whole intragastric balloon deal. Had a million questions buzzing in my head. But the doctor? Super chill. He sat with me, answered every single one, didn't make me feel rushed or nothing. The procedure itself was fast, like he said. Gotta say, the first couple days felt kinda funky, like cramps, but his office warned me and it passed. Staff was real nice on the phone too. Only thing was the parking garage elevator was slow, haha. But for real, this balloon has been a huge help already.

Sarah Willowbrook | İbrahim Karataş | Intragastric Balloon

Listen, I ain't young, and I've been fighting the scale for what feels like forever. Tried diets, shakes, you name it. Felt like I was hitting a wall. Finding this doctor and talking about the balloon was different. He didn't just sell it to me; he looked at my situation, my health history, and talked about how it could fit me. Made me feel seen, you know? The whole process, from the talks before to putting the balloon in and the check-ups after, felt real professional but also kinda... warm? Like they cared. He explained things clear, no mumbo jumbo. It ain't magic – you gotta do the work – but this balloon gives you that starting push, that little bit of help that makes a difference. Best step I've taken for my health, bar none.
