Mehmet Yıldırım writes much of the patient-education content you'll find on the Hermest Hair Clinic blog. His work is fairly specific. He takes medical information that is often dense and technical, things like surgical techniques, recovery timelines, the causes of hair loss and the various treatment options, and rewrites it so that anyone trying to make a decision about their hair can actually follow it.
He comes to this from a research background rather than a clinical one, and that shapes how he writes. Mehmet holds a PhD in Health Management and Economics from Hacettepe University, one of Türkiye's leading institutions for health sciences, where he graduated with a 3.85 out of 4.00 grade average. His doctoral work looked at health policy, health economics and how healthcare services are organised and delivered. Before that he completed a bachelor's degree in Public Administration at Selçuk University.
For over six years he has worked as an independent health policy analyst and medical writer, producing analytical content, sector reports and academic articles across health policy, health economics and public health management. That kind of work builds a certain habit of mind: checking claims against credible sources, presenting the evidence as it is, and not overselling a result.
It's worth being clear about what Mehmet does and doesn't do at Hermest. He writes and researches. He does not diagnose, treat or perform procedures, and he never presents his articles as a stand-in for seeing a doctor. Every clinical claim he makes is checked and signed off by a qualified Hermest physician before it's published. We built it this way on purpose, so that what you read is easy to understand and still clinically sound.
Outside of Hermest, Mehmet writes about the wider changes happening in healthcare, from the economics of hospitals to digital transformation and the growing role of AI in medicine.
