My 8-year-old daughter presented with a mysterious high fever and a strawberry-red tongue that appeared every three weeks like clockwork. After a year of inconclusive tests elsewhere, Prof. Kobak diagnosed her with Periodic Fever Syndrome (PFAPA). His simple, low-dose treatment plan stopped the cycles immediately. He explained the condition to her using cartoon drawings, taking away her fear. We finally have our happy, predictable life back.

Doctor: Prof. MD. Senol Kobak Hospital: İstinye University Liv Hospital Bahcesehir

I am a 68-year-old retired ship captain with severe, deforming psoriatic arthritis in my hands. I couldn't even hold a fishing rod. Prof. Kobak proposed a novel combination therapy he was researching. He was transparent about the experimental nature but meticulous in monitoring. Within a year, the deformation halted, and I regained enough function to tie my own flies. He gave me back my favorite retirement hobby.

Doctor: Prof. MD. Senol Kobak Hospital: İstinye University Liv Hospital Bahcesehir

Our 16-year-old son, a tech prodigy, was bedridden with crippling fatigue and diffuse pain after a mild viral infection. Doctors suggested it was 'psychosomatic.' Prof. Kobak recognized it as post-viral juvenile fibromyalgia. Instead of just medication, he connected us with a physiotherapist specializing in pediatric chronic pain and designed a 'gamified' pacing app to help our son manage his energy. He validated his suffering and gave him tools, not just pills.

As a 45-year-old chef, I was losing my sense of taste and developing painful mouth ulcers and sinus issues. An ENT specialist found nothing. Prof. Kobak, piecing together these seemingly unrelated symptoms, diagnosed me with Wegener's Granulomatosis. His rapid intervention with immunosuppressants saved my kidneys from silent damage. He literally saved my career and my health by connecting dots no one else saw.

Doctor: Prof. MD. Senol Kobak Hospital: İstinye University Liv Hospital Bahcesehir

As a 22-year-old competitive archer, I developed sudden, debilitating wrist pain that threatened my career. Multiple doctors dismissed it as overuse. Prof. Kobak was the first to suspect a rare, early-onset seronegative arthritis. His targeted biologic therapy, combined with a custom joint protection plan he designed with my coach, allowed me to return to competition within months and win a national bronze medal. He treated me not just as a patient, but as an athlete with a dream.
