Selçuk Hocam omurga kanal darlığı sorunu olan babamı ameliyat etti, onu felç olmaktan kurtardı. İki adım atamayan, inleyerek kambur bir şekilde yürüyen babam artık torunlarıyla bisiklete biniyor, uçurtma uçuruyor, top oynuyro, hoplaya zıplaya dağ tepe koşuyor. Ne kadar teşekkür etsek az...
Annem Selçuk Hocamız sayesinde bel ve boynundaki ağır fıtık ve kireçlenme kaynaklı ağrılarından hızlıca ve en az acıyla geçirdiği iki ameliyatla kurtuldu. Teşekkürler Selçuk Hoca.

I was having frequent headaches and taking pain killers did not help either. So I went to Anadolu Medical Center after getting an appointment from Dr. Gocmen. I told him what I was experiencing and he asked me questions related to my headache. After that he suggested a few diagnostic tests. After getting the results, he told me that I had glioma. For which he suggested gamma knife surgery. Now after the treatment I feel better and have follow up check ups to monitor my health
Hocamiza sonsuz teşekkürlerr, kizimiza 3defa ameliyat, etti, çook başarili biri, ona ve ekibine başarilar.

I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and my doctor, Prof. Dr. Selçuk Göçmen, started my treatment with a gamma knife. He made sure I was doing okay throughout the treatment. I'm so glad I chose him for my treatment.

My mother has epilepsy, and we took her to Prof. Dr. Selçuk Göçmen, who suggested epilepsy surgery. We were not ready for surgery, but he made us comfortable and informed us about the whole procedure. The surgery went well, and my mother is doing fine.
