M.D. R. Kerem Temel Reviews
Patient Experience
As a 28-year-old marathon runner, I was devastated when diagnosed with a rare congenital coronary anomaly during a routine screening. Dr. Temel didn't just treat the anatomy—he designed a hybrid procedure preserving my athletic future. His collaboration with sports physiologists created a recovery protocol that had me running personal bests within nine months.
My 94-year-old grandmother's aortic stenosis was deemed inoperable elsewhere. Dr. Temel pioneered a minimalist TAVI approach using conscious sedation. Watching her tend her rose garden three days post-procedure, we witnessed medicine not just extending life but preserving its quality against all odds.
During a business trip to Eskisehir, I suffered a widowmaker heart attack at 42. Dr. Temel's cath lab team performed emergency PCI within 18 minutes of arrival. What stunned me was his 'cardiac archaeology'—uncovering silent childhood Kawasaki disease as the underlying cause, changing my family's preventive care forever.
Our 7-year-old daughter's recurrent syncope was dismissed as anxiety until Dr. Temel identified Long QT syndrome during a provocation test he designed himself. His creation of a school emergency response plan and wearable tech monitoring transformed fear into managed confidence.
