I had been suffering from severe back pain for years due to a vertebral compression fracture, and it really affected my life. Recently, one of my friends told me to consult Dr. Serdar Kahraman at Liv Hospital Ulus. Dr. Kahraman recommended a kyphoplasty procedure to relieve my pain and stabilize my spine. From the initial consultation to the recovery process, Dr. Kahraman and his team provided great care. The procedure went smoothly, and the results were better than my expectations. My back pain has now disappeared, and I feel relieved from the pain that made me suffer for a long time. I highly recommend him to everyone!
Annemin ameliyatını bu hafta gerçekleştirdi. Kendisine tavsiye ile gitmiştik ama şuan iç rahatlığı ile ben de herkese tavsiye edebilirim. Sevdiklerimiz için çok fazla araştırma yapıyoruz güven duyup karar verene kadar da zaman kaybediyoruz. Serdar hocama ulaşana kadar biz de 15 yıl kaybetmişiz. Çok değerli bir doktor, tekrar herşey için teşekkür ederiz kendisine.
Nazik, kibar, ilgili, bilgili. Alanında çok iyi olmasının yanı sıra kendisi ile ilgili olmayan sorularımızı yanıtlayıp, çözüm bulmamızda yardımcı oldu. Kendisine ve çalışanlarına çok teşekkür ediyorum 🙏

I was a patient with the spine problem. I took an appointment in Anadolu Medical center where Dr. Serdar did my treatment. He is generous and kind. I’m highly satisfied with the way he treated me. I totally recommend people to get treatment here.

işin uzmanı ve titiz bir beyin cerrahıdır
önceliği para değildir asla
hastayı görür görmez bundan nasıl para koparırım değilde nasıl iyileştirebilirim çabası içerisine girer
bu nedenle birlikte çalıştığı diğer ekiplerin fikirlerini önemseyen ve danışan bir yaklaşım içerisindedir
sanırım bir dönem omurilik felçlileri derneğinin yönetimine girmiştir
istanbul ve ankarada çalışmalarına devam etmekte
gözünüz kapalı muayene veya ameliyat olabilirsiniz
şahane bir insan ve işinin ehli, muhteşem bir doktordur.
geçtiğimiz günlerde şahsımı bel fıtığından başarılı şekilde ameliyat etmiş ve gerek ameliyat öncesi maddi ve manevi destek olması, her sorumuza uzun uzun ve sabırla cevap vermesi ve gerekse ameliyat sonrasındaki desteğiyle tüm sürecin sorunsuz geçmesini sağlamıştır...
bel fıtığından müzdarip olanlara, bir dakika bile düşünmeden kendilerini serdar bey’e emanet etmelerini gönül rahatlığıyla tavsiye edebilirim.
beyin cerrahıdır. uzun süre ankara gata’ da çalışmıştır. son bir yıldır istanbul'da. alman hastaneleri grubunda çalışıyor. ankara'daki muayenehanesini hastaları yüzünden kapayamıyor. hemen ameliyat diyen beyin cerrahlarından biri değildir. paragöz cerrahlardan biri değildir. hastalarına öyle saygılı davranır ki, karşısında hep mahcup hissedersiniz kendinizi. bir de hep pırıl pırıl giyinir. ameliyatınıza serdar bey giriyorsa, rahat olun. neredeyse ailecek ameliyat olduk kendisine. epeyce yaşlı annemi uzun saatler süren bir ameliyatla hayata döndüren insandır kendisi. resmini çerçeveletip asmak istersiniz desem abartılı gelebilir. ama hastası olunca demek istediğimi anlarsınız. hep minnettar kalacağınız, gurur duyacağınız ve teşekkür edeceğiniz insandır. sağolun, varolun...
