Patient Experience
A 79-year-old retired judge with multiple myeloma and cast nephropathy was too frail for autologous stem cell transplant. Dr. Topal utilized extended high-cutoff hemodialysis combined with novel anti-myeloma agents, achieving sufficient renal recovery to avoid permanent dialysis, an outcome rarely seen in this age group with this condition.
A 14-year-old boy with cystinosis, an orphan disease, was transitioned from pediatric to adult care under Dr. Topal. He developed corneal cystine crystals affecting vision. Dr. Topal coordinated with ophthalmology to time cysteamine eye drops with systemic therapy, while helping the family navigate Turkey's rare disease medication access system, significantly improving quality of life.
A 58-year-old imam with hypertensive nephrosclerosis and advanced CKD faced dialysis initiation during Ramadan. Dr. Topal developed a personalized fasting protocol with tailored dialysis scheduling and medication timing, allowing religious observance while maintaining safety, later publishing guidelines for renal patients observing religious fasts.

I brought my 8-year-old son in after weeks of unexplained fatigue and bruising. Dr. Koroglu wasn't just looking at slides; he came to the pediatric ward to see my boy firsthand. His explanation of the bone marrow biopsy results was so clear, he used drawings! He didn't just diagnose the rare blood disorder; he connected us with the exact specialist we needed. His compassion made a terrifying time bearable. We're forever grateful.
As a 72-year-old with a complex history of prostate issues, my latest biopsy was anxiety-inducing. Dr. Koroglu's approach was different. He reviewed ALL my old pathology reports first, spotting a subtle pattern others missed over 15 years. His phone call to explain the results was 25 minutes long, no rush. He spoke directly to my urologist while I was in the room. This wasn't a routine check; it was detective work that changed my treatment plan completely.
Following emergency surgery for a sudden bowel obstruction, the surgeon said the tissue 'looked unusual.' Dr. Koroglu received the specimen at midnight. By morning, he'd not only confirmed the rare gastrointestinal stromal tumor but had already consulted with two international pathology databases. His detailed report included specific genetic markers for targeted therapy. In an emergency, his speed and depth of analysis were literally life-saving.
My follow-up visit for a previously removed skin mole was supposed to be straightforward. Dr. Koroglu noticed a tiny, unrelated discoloration on my ear during the consultation, something no one else had mentioned in years. He insisted on a biopsy right then. It turned out to be an early melanoma. His obsessive attention to detail, seeing what wasn't even the primary concern, prevented a major health crisis. He looks at the whole patient, not just the slide.
My family and I are grateful for the care we received from Dr. Op. MD. Bunyamin Kutlu. The hospital staff was also very supportive.
Dr. Spec. Clinic. Psyc. Zeliha Ocal Yavuz provided exceptional care for my psychology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.

My 6-year-old identical twins both presented with different congenital defects, one with coarctation, one with anomalous coronary artery. Prof. Sayin treated them simultaneously in adjacent hybrid ORs, coordinating two teams like a conductor. He scheduled their procedures on their birthday, calling it their 'heart rebirth day.' They now share a unique bond, celebrating two heart days each year.
As a 28-year-old professional freediver, I was devastated when routine screening revealed a previously undetected atrial septal defect. Prof. Sayin didn't just see a hole in my heart; he understood my passion for deep diving and designed a minimally invasive closure procedure that preserved my ability to withstand pressure changes. Six months later, I set a new personal depth record in the Aegean Sea, my heart performing flawlessly under extreme conditions.
My 94-year-old grandmother, a retired history professor with severe aortic stenosis, was deemed 'too high-risk' elsewhere. Prof. Sayin spent hours discussing her life story before proposing a tailored TAVI procedure. He incorporated her love of Byzantine music into the recovery room ambiance. She walked out after three days, and now teaches her great-grandchildren about Ottoman history with renewed vigor.
During a climbing expedition on Mount Ararat, I experienced sudden cardiac arrest at 4,500 meters. Medevaced to Prof. Sayin, I was diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. He created a unique 'mountain-ready' treatment plan combining ablation, medication adjustments for altitude, and a custom wearable monitor. I've since summited three more peaks, each with his team remotely monitoring my cardiac data in real-time.
Our 7-year-old daughter, born with tetralogy of Fallot, had undergone two childhood surgeries elsewhere with complications. Prof. Sayin approached her case like an engineer rebuilding a masterpiece. Using 3D-printed models of her heart, he explained the procedure to her using LEGO analogies. The pulmonary valve replacement was flawless, and she now leads her school's robotics team, calling Prof. Sayin her 'heart mechanic.'
