Assoc. Prof. M.D. Özlem Özgür Gürsoy Reviews

After years of unexplained pelvic pain dismissed by other doctors, Dr. Özlem discovered my rare case of adenomyosis with an innovative ultrasound technique she developed herself. At 52, I thought this was just menopause, but she performed a meticulous laparoscopic surgery that preserved my uterus. Her post-op care included daily video calls during recovery - she even taught me breathing exercises to manage discomfort. Six months later, I'm gardening again without pain. She doesn't just treat conditions; she treats lives.

My 14-year-old daughter developed severe menstrual complications that left her anemic and missing school. Pediatric gynecologists were scarce, but Dr. Özlem created a teen-friendly protocol using animated diagrams to explain hormonal treatments. She prescribed a unique combination therapy involving dietary adjustments and low-dose medication, monitoring progress through a secure app she developed for adolescent patients. Within three cycles, my daughter's symptoms improved 80%. Dr. Özlem's approach made a terrifying experience educational and empowering for my child.

During a routine 20-week anatomy scan, Dr. Özlem detected subtle placental abnormalities others missed. She coordinated with maternal-fetal medicine specialists to create a 'placental mapping' surveillance plan, using color-coded charts to track vascular changes weekly. When I developed acute vasa previa at 32 weeks, her team performed an emergency classical cesarean within 18 minutes of my arrival. Her foresight saved our daughter's life - she had predicted this exact scenario and rehearsed the response with her team monthly. We call her our medical prophet.

As a transgender man seeking hysterectomy, I faced countless rejections until Dr. Özlem's clinic. She designed a novel surgical approach that minimized abdominal scarring using single-port robotics through my navel, preserving nerve function for my phalloplasty later. Her consent process involved three separate sessions discussing emotional impacts, with her creating visual aids showing exactly how organs would be repositioned. She even modified her electronic records to display my chosen name before legal changes. Her care was the first time I felt seen as whole in a medical setting.
