Spec. MD. Kivanc Eren

I'm a 72-year-old retired engineer with a complex arrhythmia history that baffled three other cardiologists. Dr. Eren didn't just look at my charts, he spent 45 minutes asking about my daily habits, my gardening routine, even how I sleep. He discovered my palpitations correlated with specific gardening postures! His solution wasn't just medication adjustment; he designed a gentle stretching routine and prescribed a wearable monitor for two weeks. Six months later, my episodes have reduced by 80%. At Liv Hospital Bahcesehir, his team remembered my preference for the corner examination room. This isn't just cardiology; it's personalized detective work.

Our 8-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a congenital heart murmur during a school screening. We were terrified. Dr. Kivanc Eren met us in the pediatric cardiology suite with a tablet showing animated hearts. He explained her condition using characters she recognized from her favorite show. During the echocardiogram, he let her hold the transducer and 'find the butterfly' in her own heart. His follow-up plan included a custom storybook about 'Lena's Super Heart' with instructions for her school. The hospital's child-life specialist coordinated with him perfectly. We went from panic to empowerment in one visit.

I'm a 42-year-old marathon runner who collapsed at kilometer 32 of the Istanbul Marathon. Rushed to Liv Hospital's ER, I woke to Dr. Eren calmly explaining I'd had a coronary artery spasm, rare in athletes. What stunned me was his emergency protocol: instead of immediate invasive intervention, he used advanced CT angiography first, avoiding unnecessary stenting. But what truly differentiated him was his recovery plan. He collaborated with a sports physiologist to redesign my training, considering my electrolyte balance during long runs. At my 3-month follow-up, he'd analyzed data from my fitness tracker I'd forgotten I shared. He's not just fixing hearts; he's optimizing them.

My husband needed a complex mitral valve repair after endocarditis destroyed his original valve. Dr. Eren presented us with three surgical approaches, including a minimally invasive option he'd recently mastered. During the 5-hour surgery, his surgical nurse called me every 90 minutes with specific updates, not just 'surgery is going well,' but 'the decalcification phase is complete, his heart is responding well to bypass.' Post-op, Dr. Eren visited at 10 PM to check the incision himself, noting a subtle swelling I hadn't noticed. His discharge instructions included a WhatsApp channel where his fellow responds within an hour. Three months later, my husband is gardening again. This is what 21st-century cardiac care should be.
