I was born in Ankara in 1983. After completing primary and secondary school in Trabzon, I graduated from Private Istanbul Robert High School in 2003. I began attending Marmara University in 2003 for the Faculty of Medicine, graduating in 2009 and starting my General Surgery Assistantship at Istanbul Training and Research Hospital the same year. In 2015, I was appointed to Ağrı State Hospital as a General Surgery Specialist. After completing my compulsory service, I worked briefly at Bezmialem Vakıf University Dragos Hospital in 2017 and then began working at Koç University Hospital in 2018. I was accepted into the academic staff at Koç University in 2021. I began working at Private Yalova Aktif Hospital in 2024.

My Approach
To help our patients recover from general surgery as quickly as possible, painlessly, healthily, and happily.
Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery encompasses surgical treatment methods for obesity. The most commonly used surgical technique worldwide is laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, also known as a gastric sleeve.
Anal Diseases (Proctology)
We are here to help you with conditions such as anal fissures, anal fistulas, hemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, and fecal incontinence. Click the link for more information.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery refers to performing surgeries with the smallest possible incisions. Today, minimally invasive surgery, using laparoscopic and endoscopic approaches in general surgery, allows patients to undergo surgery with smaller incisions and less pain.
The advantages of these methods include postoperative pain control, better cosmetic results, and shorter hospital stays. These advantages are offered to accelerate your recovery and make it more comfortable.
Associations I am a Member of
