About

Prof. Burhan Mayir, MD

I am a general surgeon. For more than twenty-five years I have operated across the breadth of general surgery and pursued academic work in the same field. I see patients at my private practice in Antalya.

The way I work with patients rests on a single principle: the decision is made together. That requires explaining the options, their alternatives and the expected outcomes in plain language. A patient who knows what lies ahead starts treatment on stronger ground.

How we work at the practice

One point of contact

The same physician follows the process from the first examination to the post-operative checks. You never have to work out whom to ask.

Plain language

We translate the terms in your report into everyday language. The aim is that you leave the consultation without a single line you did not understand.

The decision is yours

Options are presented with their alternatives and expected outcomes. We do not ask for consent given in haste.

Open to second opinions

Seeking another physician’s opinion is your right. We help you prepare the documents you need.

Appointment

What to bring to your consultation

Any mammogram, ultrasound, MRI and pathology reports you have, plus a list of your medications. If you have none of these, come anyway and we will plan the necessary tests together.
