NAMIK YILMAZ, MD | Bariatric Surgeon in Antalya, Turkey

General Surgeon
Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery
Antalya/TURKEY

I was born in 1972 in Antakya, Turkey. I studied the English language in middle and high school, growing up in a multi-cultural environment in Antakya. In 1999, I graduated from Medical Faculty at Ankara Gazi University. Following graduation, I worked as an emergency physician for 1 year. Between 2000 and 2006, I completed my residency in surgery at General Surgery Unit of the Medical Faculty, Erciyes University.

In 2006, I qualified to be duly elected as an active member of the Turkish Surgical Association. In the same year, I passed with distinction all written and oral exams of the Turkish Board of Surgery. In 2017 I satisfied all requirements for Board of Surgery recertification and reaffirmed my qualifications. Throughout my professional career, I have authored numerous scientific publications and honed my professional skills through advanced laparoscopy and bariatric surgery courses in Europe. Additionally, to enhance professional experience, I attended many international and national congresses.

Currently, I am working as a Bariatric and General Surgeon and founder of my own clinic, Clinic Antalya, in Antalya, Turkey. I perform surgeries on more than 500 patients annually.

My areas of interest include laparoscopic surgery, with a focus on obesity and metabolic surgery.
