Patient Experience
As a 68-year-old retired fisherman, my decades of sun exposure had left me with severe actinic keratosis across my face and scalp. Dr. Akbaba didn't just treat the lesions; he created a personalized 'sun rehabilitation' plan combining photodynamic therapy with protective strategies for my boat. Six months later, my skin is clearer than it's been in 20 years, and I can still enjoy the sea safely.
Our 8-year-old daughter developed a mysterious, spreading rash after swimming in the Aegean. Local clinics offered temporary relief, but Dr. Akbaba identified it as a rare marine dermatosis triggered by specific algae blooms. His targeted treatment cleared it completely within days, and he provided a prevention protocol we now use before every beach holiday.
I'm a 42-year-old chef who developed chronic hand eczema from constant washing and ingredient exposure. Dr. Akbaba's innovative approach involved custom barrier creams, changing my kitchen workflow, and coordinating with a nutritionist to address internal inflammation. I'm back creating dishes pain-free for the first time in three years.
During our honeymoon in Bodrum, my husband had a severe allergic reaction to a sunscreen, with blistering across his shoulders. Dr. Akbaba's emergency clinic visit at midnight involved precise patch testing to identify the exact chemical culprit and immediate relief. He followed up daily throughout our stay, turning a crisis into compassionate care.
