Cancer Patient
A large-diameter nodule was detected on a CT scan I had taken due to a persistent, severe cough. I made an appointment with Dr. Murat and was examined. He ensured that all the necessary tests were performed quickly. Based on the results of the second biopsy, Dr. Mustafa, who performed the biopsy, referred me to the oncology department and advised me to begin chemotherapy. It was a devastating moment for us (I'm 43). We met with Dr. Murat to evaluate the results. Dr. Murat evaluated the results and my general condition and ordered an urgent CT scan. The CT scan revealed a 30% reduction in the mass. It was a world away. He saved me from a pointless chemotherapy. He is an incredible doctor who does his job diligently with his knowledge, experience, patient empathy, and understanding. We're so glad we have doctors like him in our country. My wife and I are so grateful to him. We're so glad we have you, Dr. Murat.
Lung
We had a checkup for my mother today. He explained that part of her lung was not functioning properly and needed to be removed. He informed us about the surgery and the procedure. We were deeply impressed by the fact that our country is in constant need of such academic, educated doctors. He explained everything clearly, answered every question, and listened to us. I extend my gratitude to this doctor, who truly lives up to his title of Professor with his demeanor and behavior. This country needs such dedicated doctors who are dedicated and dedicated.
Mediastinal Surgery Patient
We met our esteemed Professor Dr. Murat Kara around mid-July, after he was diagnosed with a lung tumor. His attentiveness and care, guiding us through the tests and monitoring the process, enabled us to take action very quickly. As soon as the tests came back, less than a month after the diagnosis (August 8th), he quickly and successfully planned the rather challenging surgery and completed it. His patient, enlightening, and warm approach made the process easier by motivating us. His foresight, understanding, and patience with patients and their families, combined with our complete trust and complete submission to him, allowed us to regain our health. We are grateful to Professor Murat and his team for planning the surgery in stages, taking every possibility into account, taking no risks, and carrying it out very successfully. We are so glad we have you... We are so glad we met you... May your hands be safe...
squamous cell carcinoma
We contacted our esteemed professor, Prof. Dr. Murat KARA, regarding my wife's illness. Following examinations, she was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma. None of the doctors we consulted recommended surgery due to the risks involved. Despite all the risks, our professor, Murat Kara, made the decision to operate on our patient (my wife) on a ventilator, using his patient-centered approach, and successfully brought her back to life. We are eternally grateful to him for giving us hope and keeping us informed throughout the process. Our country needs such idealistic and successful doctors.
