Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired violinist, I feared my essential tremor would end my ability to play. Dr. Doygun performed deep brain stimulation at Acibadem Bursa Hospital. The precision was astonishing—he calibrated the device while I played scales in the operating room. Now I perform weekly with the city orchestra, my hands steadier than they've been in decades.
My 8-year-old daughter developed sudden, severe headaches. Scans at Acibadem revealed a rare arachnoid cyst compressing her brainstem. Dr. Doygun explained everything using dinosaur analogies she understood. His endoscopic fenestration was minimally invasive—she was drawing pictures just hours after surgery. Six months later, she's headache-free and winning art competitions.
During a hiking trip in Uludağ, I fell 15 meters. Rushed to Acibadem with multiple spinal fractures, I was paralyzed from the waist down. Dr. Doygun performed emergency stabilization surgery through the night. His team then designed a novel rehabilitation protocol combining virtual reality with physiotherapy. Today, I walk with a single cane and have returned to teaching geology.
My husband, a 45-year-old chef, developed trigeminal neuralgia so severe he couldn't bear kitchen aromas. After four failed treatments elsewhere, Dr. Doygun performed a microvascular decompression. The difference was immediate—he cooked me breakfast the next morning. He now runs a popular food truck, specializing in spicy dishes he couldn't previously tolerate.
