⭐ Patient reviews
In 2021 our daughter had a brain hemorrhage; with a successful operation Prof. Alp and his team brought her back to life without complications. We are endlessly grateful. Our daughter was admitted to a good university’s English International Relations program

You might laugh at Cem Yılmaz’s disc-herniation story — well, here’s a perfect little herniation of my own. Terrible pain, numbness, and the fear that I would always live like this… The moment I walked into Prof. Alp’s office I felt trust and the sense that I had found the doctor who would save me; six hours later I had surgery. The next day I got up and happily headed home. My disc is still with me — but in a serum tube in my bag ☺️. I’ve been able to do everything comfortably since day one. A little pain remains, and that’s fine. Doctor, thank you so much. We’re glad you’re here 🙏🙏

He performed our daughter’s trigonocephaly surgery at Güven Hospital when she was 6 months old. We consulted a few other doctors but kept coming back to Prof. Alp and wanted to entrust our daughter to him. He helped us through very difficult processes in the best possible way and explained everything we would face, one by one, in advance. Our daughter is now two and a half, quite healthy, and her head shape has fully corrected. He touched our child’s life; we will pray for him all our lives. May God increase the number of doctors like him.

A physician at the very top of his profession — my respects. His humanity, honesty, and sincere approach deserve every compliment. May God keep his path open.

Prof. Alp was a true lifeline for us as well — a very valuable physician. He operated on our son’s cerebellar lesion on 21.11.2020; it was our greatest fortune. Months of nausea and vomiting had always been called reflux. We used reflux medication and took our son to various hospitals for 7 months. It turned out the problem was not the stomach but the cerebellum… (full text preserved)
