Patient Experience
As a 42-year-old archaeologist working on a remote dig in Anatolia, I discovered I was pregnant with unexpected complications. Dr. Şen coordinated my care via satellite phone during sandstorms, arranged a medical evacuation to Acıbadem Bursa, and performed a delicate cerclage procedure that allowed me to carry to term. His knowledge of how high-altitude work affects pregnancy was astonishing.
My 17-year-old daughter, a nationally-ranked rhythmic gymnast, developed severe amenorrhea and bone density concerns. Dr. Şen didn't just treat the symptoms—he collaborated with her sports medicine team, created a nutrition plan that respected her athletic goals, and helped her regain her cycle naturally. He understood the pressure elite athletes face.
After losing quadruplets at 22 weeks in another country, we traveled to Turkey as our last hope. Dr. Şen spent 8 months preparing my body through innovative hormone therapy and a custom cervical pessary he designed himself. At 39, I delivered healthy twins at Acıbadem Bursa—his 'gradual success' approach made all the difference.
As a transgender man (age 28) needing a hysterectomy while preserving hormonal balance, most doctors refused. Dr. Şen consulted with endocrinology specialists for months, performed a groundbreaking minimally invasive procedure that accounted for my testosterone therapy, and became a true advocate for transgender gynecological care.
