Prof. M.D. Volkan Noyan

At 52, I was convinced my severe pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding were just 'the change.' My local GP kept dismissing it. Dr. Noyan listened differently—he actually leaned forward, his eyes narrowing slightly as I described the cramping that felt like glass shards. He ordered a specific ultrasound his team developed for complex cases. It revealed a rare, pedunculated fibroid twisted on itself, requiring immediate surgery. His approach wasn't just clinical; he drew me a simple diagram on his notepad, showing exactly what was happening and how he'd fix it. The laparoscopic surgery was flawless. He called my husband himself post-op to explain everything. He treated me not as a menopausal statistic, but as a person with a unique problem needing a unique solution.

Our 14-year-old daughter developed sudden, crippling ovarian pain during a family vacation near Adana. The ER at Acibadem was chaotic, but the moment Dr. Noyan entered our curtained area, the chaos muted. He spoke directly to our terrified daughter in a calm, steady tone, asking about her school and hobbies before gently guiding her to describe the pain. He suspected ovarian torsion from a cyst and moved with urgent grace. He explained the time-critical need for surgery to save the ovary to all three of us simultaneously, making sure our daughter understood first. In the OR, he used a minimally invasive technique that left only two tiny scars. His follow-up was remarkable: he sent her a get-well card signed by the entire OR team. He didn't just save an organ; he preserved a young girl's future fertility and dignity.

My wife's routine 20-week anatomy scan turned into a nightmare when they found signs of placenta accreta. We were referred to Dr. Noyan for what was termed a 'potential catastrophic delivery.' For three months, he managed her case like a military strategist. He created a personalized risk map, held a multi-disciplinary meeting with vascular surgery and interventional radiology that we were invited to observe, and had a detailed, color-coded delivery plan. The day of the scheduled C-section was intense, but his calm was contagious. He performed the surgery with precise, controlled movements, successfully delivering our healthy son and managing the placental removal without a hysterectomy, which we were told was nearly impossible. His skill was a scalpel; his demeanor was a blanket. We owe our complete family to his unparalleled foresight and technical mastery.

I visited Dr. Noyan for a simple IUD replacement. What should have been a 10-minute procedure became a complex retrieval when the strings retracted. Instead of rushing or causing discomfort, he paused, put his instruments down, and said, 'We have two options: we can try a gentle hook technique now, or I can schedule a quick hysteroscopic removal under light sedation. Your comfort dictates my next move.' I chose the in-office procedure. He used a tiny, flexible scope with a camera, showing me the screen so I could see exactly what he was doing—the IUD nestled in the corner of my uterus. He retrieved it with minimal discomfort, chatting softly about the engineering of IUDs the whole time. It was a routine visit transformed into an empowering lesson in my own anatomy. He turns every encounter, no matter how small, into respectful collaboration.
