I would recommend Mr Akteurk to anyone needing the surgery he offers. His expertise, knowledge, skill and care are all outstanding. He has also assembled a superb team around him. My particular situation required him to go the extra mile and he and his colleagues did so with absolute dedication.
I was referred to Mr Dincer Aktuerk to talk about treatment options for a health problem which had developed in my heart. Mr. Aktuerk made me feel comfortable from the beginning of the appointment explaining the condition and the procedure required to resolve it. He talked through the details of the operation and how it would be carried out. He also highlighted the risks of the operation including what would be in place in the case of an unexpected happening. He answered all of my questions and concerns and outlined what to expect during the recovery period. Armed with all of this knowledge I was able to make an informed decision to go forward with the surgery soon after. Happily everything went according to plan and I met with Mr. Aktuerk 3 weeks later for a post operative assessment which seemed to be going as was expected. I am gradually recovering and happy that I made the decision to have the surgery. I'm really grateful for the great care I received from Mr. Aktuerk and his fantastic teaming am now moving towards being fit, well and healthy again.
Mr Dincer Aktuerk was recommended by my cardiologist. I googled him and realised that he was a very experienced and respected surgeon. Unbeknown to me I had an enlarged aorta valve 6.2cm which was very serious. Mr Aktuerk carried out both the ascending aorta replacement as well as 2 coronary artery bypass grafts. I found Mr Aktuerk a really charming and likeable person and had a 100% confidence in him. He explained the procedure in detail . We have had a follow up meeting and I have no hesitation in recommending him .
He is fantastic he makes you feel $1 million and he really cares for you and every inch even when he's on holiday he make sure he knows how you're doing His team around him listening
If you are in your 30s and facing aortic valve surgery, you are likely looking at two main options: the Ross Procedure or a mechanical valve replacement. I spent a lot of time weighing up both. The Ross Procedure avoids the need for long-term blood thinners but is a more complex operation involving two valves. A mechanical valve is a simpler, single-valve operation but requires lifelong blood thinners. I chose the mechanical route (a Fitline valve) specifically because of Mr Dincer Aktuerk. When you are young and facing major heart surgery, you want a surgeon who is a true expert in advanced, minimally invasive techniques. I chose Mr Aktuerk because he specializes in doing this surgery through a small chest incision rather than cracking your entire chest open. His specialized skill is the direct reason I avoided a full open sternotomy and experienced such a remarkably fast recovery.The facts of my recovery timeline speak for themselves: 6 Weeks: I returned to work full-time. 8 Weeks: I was physically stable enough to fly overseas. Post-Op Review: My follow-up scans showed the valve was perfectly seated and functioning well, and my surgical wound was completely closed and healed. Mr Aktuerk gave me the green light to fully return to my normal lifestyle. The reality of living with a mechanical valve: The main long-term adjustment is taking daily blood thinners (Warfarin). There is a lot of anxiety online about the lifestyle restrictions, but the reality is manageable. I still eat green vegetables and have an occasional alcoholic drink. The absolute key is simply consistency ...

Throughout my care, he was consistently diligent, attentive, and patient, never making me feel rushed and always willing to answer my questions. His calm and caring approach gave me great confidence and helped to ease any anxieties I had. I am sincerely grateful to Mr. Akturek and his entire team for the excellent care they provided. The professionalism, support, and compassion shown by everyone involved made a significant difference to my experience and recovery. I felt well looked after at every stage of my treatment, and I cannot thank them enough for their dedication and outstanding care.
