Who is Gökçe Yılmaz?

Hello,

I was born in Denizli; I completed my primary, secondary and high school education in Denizli. In 2002, I went to Istanbul and started my medical education at Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine and throughout my education, the anatomy, physiology and functioning of the human body have always fascinated me. In 2008, after graduating from medical school, I continued my compulsory service at Sakarya Kaynarca State Hospital. After this short adventure, I started to work at Istanbul Training and Research Hospital in 2009 for my anesthesiology and reanimation specialty training. After my specialty training, I worked as an anesthesiologist at Istanbul Bahçelievler State Hospital between 2014 and 2022. During this process, I was an observer at Harvard University School of Medicine Boston Children's Hospital in the USA in 2012 and conducted research in the field of neuroscience at Loma Linda University in Los Angeles in 2015. As a person who loves learning and being a student, in 2021, I received my certificate of Occupational Medicine and my diploma in AÖF Department of Cookery, which I studied as a hobby. In 2022, I continued my studies as an anesthesiologist in Almaty, Kazakhstan. In 2019, I received my Ministry of Health-approved mesotherapy certificate and I have been practicing mesotherapy since then, and since 2023, I have been continuing my practice in my private practice.

I have always strived to fulfill my profession very lovingly, properly and in accordance with the principles of good medicine (respect for autonomy, usefulness, non-harm, justice). I have worked for years in the operating room and intensive care unit, which are among the busiest and most critical areas of hospitals, and I have witnessed countless joys and pains. The physician-patient relationship is like a friend when it comes to time, and like a parent-sibling relationship when it comes to time, which is very valuable.

The lung, heart, diabetes, cancer and stroke patients I followed in intensive care led me to increase my awareness and sensitivity. Naturally, I started to pay more attention to my own health and the health of those around me. As a result, I quit smoking, started to reduce my stress, eat more naturally, do sports and use products with cleaner ingredients. Health is a state of spiritual, physical and social well-being as a whole. For this reason, I aim to approach my patients holistically, to understand and solve the underlying causes of their complaints and diseases, and I update my knowledge with trainings in this field.

Life is a long journey and I know that it is not always easy. Sometimes we neglect ourselves, we do not listen to our body, we do not take enough care of ourselves, who we should love and care about the most. But I also know that it's never too late, every day you listen to yourself you will start to take better care of yourself.

And I will be happy to accompany you on this journey to feel better whenever you need me.

With my love,

Gökçe.
