Patient Experience
As a 42-year-old professional dancer with uterine fibroids, I feared my career was over. Dr. Donat pioneered a minimally invasive myomectomy that preserved my fertility and muscle integrity. Her post-op physio plan was tailored to my art form. I danced in a major production just four months later, a testament to her surgical precision and holistic understanding of my body's unique demands.
My 17-year-old daughter presented with severe PCOS and crippling anxiety about her future fertility. Dr. Donat didn't just prescribe medication; she became a mentor. She explained hormonal pathways using visual aids, involved my daughter in dietary planning, and scheduled 'confidence check-ins.' The transformation wasn't just physical—my daughter now plans to study endocrinology, inspired by her doctor.
During a routine check-up at 31 weeks with my twins, Dr. Donat detected a rare velamentous cord insertion in Twin B. Her calm urgency moved mountains. She coordinated a multi-disciplinary team at Acibadem Bursa for daily monitoring and a planned early C-section. The boys were born safely at 36 weeks. Her vigilance turned a potential tragedy into a story of two healthy babies.
At 58, I suffered from debilitating prolapse after decades of heavy farm work. Dr. Donat designed a novel pelvic reconstruction using a combination of native tissue repair and strategic support. Her recovery protocol involved my husband as a 'recovery partner' with specific tasks. I'm now tending my olive groves pain-free—her approach treated the whole life, not just the condition.
