I had come to Antalya for dental work which was completed very successfully. While I was there I thought that I would try and get a cyst on my back treated as well, because even though I had sought advice from my own GP (general practitioner under the National Health system). I was hearing reports that I might have to wait up to 6 or 7 years to have it removed, and as it was it was getting bigger and bigger, and getting more uncomfortable.
I requested an appointment on a Wednesday - and received one for the following Friday (I'm still waiting to hear from my own doctor who I had seen on the 22nd January this year). I attended at the Clinic and was welcomed cordially by the Nurse/Receptionist whose English was so much better than my couple of words of Turkish. I consulted with Dr Sevim Guler and it was agreed that she would remove it there and then.
She anaesthetized the area and got to work with electro-cautery equipment which she has advised will leave little or no scar - for which I'm very grateful. She did not rush the procedure and although I was unable to see what was going on - I felt that she took plenty of time to remove my cyst and that she made sure that she had removed the entire thing.
We are only about 5 days on, but the site of the cyst appears to be completely flat now. It was in such a place that I was unable to treat myself adequately with the solution, but my friend has been doing it since I got home, and says that it's looking really good. I have to say that even though I was prescribed anti-biotics, a special solution to treat the area, and painkillers - that I have not required to use the painkillers at all.
The whole experience turned out to be simple and relatively pain free. I would like to thank the doctor and her staff for the fantastic treatment I have received in their Clinic. I also thought the cost was well worth it. I would highly recommend this Clinic.
