After completing my medical training in 2005, I have worked in various hospitals and am currently employed at a large top-clinical hospital. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in general urology and continue to find all aspects of the field deeply fascinating. I have significant experience with endoscopic procedures (including treatments for kidney stones, enlarged prostate, and bladder tumors), as well as open scrotal surgeries, undescended testes in children, and circumcisions. What I find particularly rewarding about urology is the ability to both diagnose (through various examinations) and treat patients myself—guiding them through the entire care process. The reason I wish to work at Acibadem is because I value personal time and attention, which can sometimes be compromised in a busy hospital setting. I find that regrettable and seek a more patient-centered approach.
