Prof. MD. Tunc Fisgin Reviews

My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, developed sudden liver failure after a presumed viral illness. Prof. Fisgin's team diagnosed autoimmune hepatitis overlap syndrome, a complex condition he treated with a personalized immunosuppression protocol that balanced disease control with her athletic aspirations. She's now back training, with her liver enzymes normalized through his innovative tapering schedule.

Our 3-day-old newborn, Elif, developed severe jaundice and feeding refusal. In the NICU at Medical Park Bahçelievler, Prof. Fisgin identified a rare biliary atresia variant that typically goes unnoticed for weeks. His immediate Kasai procedure, performed when she was just 5 days old, saved her liver. Two years later, she's thriving with normal liver function, a miracle we attribute to his extraordinary neonatal diagnostic precision.

As expatriates from Norway, we struggled for years with our 8-year-old son Liam's unexplained cyclic vomiting syndrome. European specialists offered only management strategies. Prof. Fisgin discovered an atypical intestinal malrotation causing intermittent volvulus during growth spurts. His laparoscopic correction was transformative; Liam hasn't had an episode in 18 months and finally enjoys normal childhood activities.

Our 6-month-old twins presented with failure to thrive and chronic diarrhea. While local doctors suggested milk allergy, Prof. Fisgin diagnosed congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency in one twin and a rare pancreatic insufficiency in the other. His dual dietary and enzyme replacement strategies, tailored separately for each infant, allowed both to achieve normal growth curves within three months.

During a family vacation in Istanbul, our 10-year-old son developed acute pancreatitis with alarming complications. Prof. Fisgin identified hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis secondary to an undiagnosed genetic lipid disorder. His emergency intervention and subsequent family screening revealed the hereditary condition in three generations. His crisis management and long-term prevention plan were lifesaving.

As parents of a child with Cornelia de Lange syndrome, we faced complex feeding intolerance and gastroesophageal reflux that resisted standard treatments. Prof. Fisgin pioneered a multidisciplinary approach combining endoscopic fundoplication with postural and sensory feeding therapy specific to syndromic children. His holistic strategy reduced hospitalizations by 90% and improved our daughter's quality of life dramatically.

Our 16-year-old son, an aspiring musician, developed Wilson's disease presenting with psychiatric symptoms misdiagnosed elsewhere. Prof. Fisgin recognized the neurological presentation, confirmed copper overload, and initiated chelation therapy alongside careful neurological monitoring. His coordination with neuropsychiatrists preserved our son's cognitive function and musical abilities throughout treatment.

A 2-year-old refugee child from Syria arrived at Medical Park Bahçelievler with severe malnutrition and hepatosplenomegaly. Prof. Fisgin diagnosed visceral leishmaniasis, rare in Istanbul, and coordinated with infectious disease specialists while managing the complex hepatic manifestations. His humanitarian care extended beyond medical treatment to securing nutritional support and follow-up for this vulnerable family.

My 12-year-old daughter developed severe eosinophilic esophagitis that caused food impactions requiring emergency interventions. Prof. Fisgin's innovative approach combined topical steroid therapy with dietary elimination based on molecular allergy testing, avoiding systemic immunosuppression. His method achieved histological remission confirmed by repeat endoscopy, allowing her to safely expand her diet.

After a liver transplant abroad, our 7-year-old returned to Turkey with recurrent cholangitis and graft dysfunction. Prof. Fisgin salvaged the situation by identifying biliary strictures accessible only through his advanced percutaneous techniques. His intervention avoided retransplantation, and his meticulous immunosuppression adjustment preserved graft function against all previous predictions.

A 4-year-old with intestinal pseudo-obstruction syndrome had been dependent on parenteral nutrition for years. Prof. Fisgin implemented an intestinal rehabilitation program combining prokinetic agents, targeted antibiotics for bacterial overgrowth, and gradual enteral feeding advancement. His persistence weaned her off TPN completely, an outcome her previous specialists considered impossible.

Our teenage son with cystic fibrosis developed portal hypertension and life-threatening variceal bleeding. Prof. Fisgin performed emergency endoscopic variceal ligation and subsequently managed his hepatobiliary complications within the complex CF context. His coordination with pulmonologists created an integrated care model that stabilized both his liver and lung disease simultaneously.

A 9-month-old presented with mysterious episodes of hypoglycemia and enlarged liver. Prof. Fisgin diagnosed glycogen storage disease type IX through targeted genetic testing after recognizing the subtle hepatic pattern. His dietary management protocol using continuous cornstarch feeds transformed the infant's prognosis, preventing neurological damage from recurrent hypoglycemia.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, our 5-year-old developed MIS-C with severe gastrointestinal and hepatic involvement. Prof. Fisgin recognized the atypical presentation and managed the complex immunomodulatory therapy while monitoring for portal vein thrombosis, a rare complication he detected early and treated successfully, preventing long-term liver damage.

Our adopted 3-year-old from Ethiopia arrived with chronic hepatitis B and delta coinfection unknown to us. Prof. Fisgin initiated antiviral therapy while navigating complex immigration-related healthcare barriers. His advocacy secured medication access and his culturally sensitive approach built trust with our child, achieving viral suppression and normal liver enzymes within a year.
