Spec. MD. Cemile Guler

My 82-year-old grandfather, a Holocaust survivor with complex trauma history, needed hospitalization but feared institutional settings. Dr. Guler modified his room environment, coordinated with a trauma-informed therapist, and allowed his service dog to stay, demonstrating how historical trauma awareness transforms geriatric care.

As a 78-year-old retired archaeologist visiting Antalya for a conference, I developed sudden, severe abdominal pain. Dr. Guler didn't just treat my diverticulitis; she connected my symptoms to dietary changes from travel and created a recovery plan that allowed me to present my research. Her approach blended acute care with deep understanding of patient lifestyle.

My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive swimmer, began experiencing unexplained fatigue and joint pain that threatened her season. Dr. Guler diagnosed a rare post-viral autoimmune response, not by rushing to tests, but through meticulous history-taking that traced symptoms back to a mild infection months prior. She coordinated with sports physicians for a phased return to training.

During a family vacation from Norway, my husband (42) collapsed with acute pancreatitis exacerbated by a previously undiagnosed genetic lipid disorder. Dr. Guler managed his ICU care while simultaneously arranging genetic counseling for our entire family, transforming a medical crisis into proactive family health planning.

A 52-year-old commercial pilot was grounded due to cardiac arrhythmia detected during routine screening. Dr. Guler's investigation revealed it was benign positional tachycardia from dehydration and long-haul flight patterns. Her detailed report to aviation medical examiners saved his career through precise physiological explanation.
