Spec. MD. Irfan Tursun

My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive freediver, began experiencing unexplained syncope after deep dives. While sports physicians focused on training, Dr. Tursun identified a previously undiagnosed cardiac conduction abnormality exacerbated by pressure changes. His collaboration with pediatric specialists created a safe modified training plan that let her continue her passion under careful monitoring.

During a yacht delivery from Greece, I developed acute abdominal pain at sea. Dr. Tursun coordinated my emergency helicopter evacuation to Medical Park Antalya, where he diagnosed mesenteric ischemia, a condition often missed. His rapid intervention prevented bowel necrosis, saving me from what would have been catastrophic surgery. His maritime medicine experience was evident throughout.

As a 42-year-old software developer with 'burnout,' I'd seen five doctors for fatigue and brain fog. Dr. Tursun was the first to connect my symptoms to undiagnosed celiac disease triggered by pandemic stress. His nutritional psychiatry approach transformed my health completely, no medications, just proper diagnosis and dietary guidance.

My 91-year-old grandmother, a Turkish-Greek bilingual poet, refused treatment for 'old age' decline. Dr. Tursun spent an hour discussing poetry with her in both languages, building trust before gently uncovering severe B12 deficiency and early-stage myelodysplastic syndrome. His cultural sensitivity made her accept treatment she'd refused from others.

As a 78-year-old retired archaeologist visiting Antalya, I developed a mysterious fever that baffled local clinics. Dr. Tursun didn't just treat symptoms, he investigated like a detective, discovering a rare Mediterranean tick-borne infection from my fieldwork. His holistic approach combining internal medicine with environmental history saved me from what others dismissed as 'tourist flu.'
