I recently completed my brain tumor treatment at the Anadolu Medical Center. The hospital staff was supportive throughout the treatment and helped my family and me in every possible way. Dr. Selcuk Gocmen was my specialist, and he worked with an oncology specialist to shrink my tumor in its early stages. Many therapies were involved in my treatment, but the Gamma Knife procedure was the most effective. I am now regaining my strength and am thankful to Anadolu Medical Center for helping me win the battle against cancer.
Without Dr.Selçuk, my wife wouldn't have the chance of being able to walk again. He is very careful for my wife. I'm more than grateful for such an involved and professional doctor!

I cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Selçuk Göçmen for the exceptional care and treatment I received during my brain tumor diagnosis and treatment." Dr. Göçmen made me feel at ease from the time I met him. He patiently explained each stage of the treatment procedure to me, and answered all of my concerns. His expertise is outstanding, and I have no doubt that his talent and dedication were important in my full recovery. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Göçmen and all of his staff for their amazing care and support throughout my journey."
Selçuk Göçmen hastalarına değer veren onların endişelerini ve çekincelerini çok iyi anlayan ve sabırla dinleyen bir hekim. Biz kendisine operasyonumuz için gittiğimizde kendisi tüm çekincelerimizi sonuna kadar dinledi ve tek tek hepsini cevapladı. Hastalarına moral veren ve psikolojik olarak operasyona gerçekten uzmanlıkla hazırlayan bir doktor. Cerrahi uzmanlığı konusunda tek kelime ile mükemmel, kendisi yaşadığımız problem ile ilgili mükemmel cerrahi uzmanlığını konuşturmuş ve sorunlarımızı en mükemmel şekilde tedavi etmiştir.Hem kendisine hem ekibine çok teşekkür ederiz. Tavsiye edeceğimiz çok çok iyi bir hekimdir , hocadır.
I got up one morning with half of my face paralyzed. It was horrible! I rushed to the hospital, where they diagnosed me with cerebral palsy. Fortunately, someone mentioned Dr. Göçmen. He promised me that with the right treatment, I would be able to recover completely. Dr. Göçmen's approach was unique. To get my muscles working again, he used a combination of medicines, exercises, and even electrical stimulation. Initially, my improvement was gradual, but Dr. Göçmen's encouragement and skill kept me going. After a few months, I was finally able to smile normally.
