M.D. Türkan Tanyel Reviews

As a 78-year-old retired ship captain with complex polypharmacy, I was experiencing debilitating fatigue and confusion. Dr. Tanyel didn't just adjust my medications—she spent three hours mapping my entire 40-year medical history, discovering a dangerous interaction between a heart medication I'd taken for decades and a new supplement. Her meticulous timeline approach resolved symptoms I'd blamed on aging, restoring my clarity completely.

Our 8-year-old daughter developed mysterious recurrent fevers during our family sailing holiday in Bodrum. Dr. Tanyel recognized a pattern others missed: Mediterranean Fever triggered by a specific genetic predisposition she'd studied. Instead of endless antibiotics, she coordinated with a geneticist in Istanbul for confirmation and created a personalized management plan that let our daughter enjoy the rest of our vacation fever-free.

I'm a 42-year-old professional freediver who nearly canceled my championship season due to sudden blood pressure fluctuations at depth. Dr. Tanyel, understanding hyperbaric physiology, designed a unique diagnostic protocol combining land-based tests with simulated depth conditions. She identified an adrenal response pattern and created a tapering medication schedule synchronized with my dive calendar—saving my competitive season.

During a culinary research trip, I (a 31-year-old food historian) developed severe gastrointestinal distress. Where others saw food poisoning, Dr. Tanyel noticed temporal patterns linking symptoms to specific traditional dishes. Her investigation revealed a rare enzyme deficiency affecting regional food metabolism, diagnosed through a customized elimination diet based on Bodrum's culinary heritage—turning my medical crisis into research data.
