Dr. Ekin Sayer

I brought my 4-year-old son, Ali, to Dr. Ekin Sayer after months of struggling with his extreme food aversions and mealtime tantrums. We'd seen two other specialists who just gave us generic diet charts. Dr. Sayer was different. She didn't just look at Ali's chart; she got on the floor with him, asked about his favorite cartoon characters, and created a 'superhero nutrition plan' with color-coded food groups. She even coordinated with the hospital's pediatric play therapist. Now, Ali eats broccoli calling it 'Hulk trees.' This wasn't just dietary advice; it was a behavioral transformation tailored to a child's world.

As a 72-year-old with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes and congestive heart failure, I felt overwhelmed by conflicting dietary restrictions. My cardiologist said low-sodium, my endocrinologist said low-carb, and I was left eating plain lettuce. Dr. Sayer conducted a 90-minute 'culinary reconciliation' session. She mapped my medications, analyzed their interactions with nutrients, and designed a phased 'flavor reintroduction' plan. She even provided specific brand names of local Turkish products in Eskisehir that fit my budget and health needs. For the first time, I have one clear, unified plan that respects all my conditions and lets me enjoy my meals again.

This was not a routine visit. I was admitted to Acibadem Eskisehir after a severe gallbladder attack and needed emergency dietary intervention post-surgery. Dr. Sayer visited my bedside at 8 PM, reviewed the surgical notes in real-time, and created a dynamic 'gut rehabilitation' protocol. What impressed me was her anticipation of complications; she outlined three different nutritional pathways based on how I tolerated clear liquids, with specific triggers to move between them. She bypassed the standard post-op leaflet and provided a real-time, adaptive food plan that undoubtedly sped up my recovery and managed my pain through precise nutrient timing.

I'm a competitive amateur cyclist, and I consulted Dr. Sayer for what I thought would be a simple performance nutrition tune-up. She turned it into a fascinating forensic analysis. Instead of just calculating macros, she synced my diet log with my training app data, identified inconsistent energy crashes, and discovered a micronutrient depletion pattern linked to my intense weekend rides. She designed a 'phasic nutrition' strategy that changes my intake on rest, moderate, and peak days, using local Turkish foods like kaymak and specific dried fruits. The plan is complex and requires discipline, but the results in my endurance and recovery are not subtle. This is elite-level, personalized sports dietetics.
