Patient Experience
As a 24-year-old competitive freediver, I developed thoracic outlet syndrome that threatened my career. Dr. Özkan performed a supraclavicular decompression with such precision that I returned to depth training in 8 weeks, now holding two national records. His understanding of athletic vascular demands was extraordinary.
My 82-year-old mother had a ruptured popliteal aneurysm during our family vacation in Bodrum. Dr. Özkan's emergency endovascular repair through the contralateral approach saved her leg and life. We watched the sunset from her hospital room three days later—a miracle we attribute to his calm expertise.
I'm a 45-year-old musician with Raynaud's phenomenon so severe I couldn't play my violin. Dr. Özkan diagnosed a rare digital artery compression and performed microvascular sympathectomy. The feeling returned to my fingertips during a Chopin étude I played at my follow-up appointment.
Our 16-year-old daughter had Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome with painful venous malformations. Dr. Özkan coordinated a multidisciplinary approach, performing staged sclerotherapy sessions. She wore her first pair of jeans without pain last month—a teenage milestone we thought impossible.
