Asst. Prof. Dr. Altan Demirel

Dear Patients

I believe that providing healthcare is not only a duty but also a human responsibility. As Asst. Prof. Dr. Altan Demirel, a specialist in Brain and Nerve Surgery (Neurosurgery), I work with passion and with the aim of making a positive and lasting difference to the life of each of my patients.

With an approach that places the person at the centre of medicine, I take care to understand not only the illness but the patient – that is, you – and to respond sincerely to your feelings and needs. By combining my scientific knowledge and surgical skills with empathy and ethical values, I continue to offer you suitable treatment options.

In every treatment process, I aim to be not only a doctor but also a companion walking the same path with you. Accompanying you on your health journey and helping to improve your quality of life again is my greatest happiness.

My aim is to plan your treatment as promptly as possible and with as little risk as possible. Patient-Centred Approach: I approach each patient individually, with empathy and respect.

Your Doctor's Story

From the first day of my medical education, I chose not just a profession but a meaningful journey that touches people's lives. This journey, which began at Eskişehir Osmangazi University, deepened with my specialist training in Brain and Nerve Surgery at Ankara University Faculty of Medicine.

I practise my profession not only with knowledge but with empathy, responsibility and care for people. Working with patients who come from all over our country and from abroad, my priority with every patient has been to understand their feelings and to offer suitable treatment. I closely follow technological developments in medicine and integrate them into my operations.
