My 82-year-old grandmother, a retired calligrapher, presented with advanced pancreatic cancer. Other centers offered only palliative care. Dr. Sonkaya designed a gentle, intermittent chemotherapy schedule around her good days. She completed her final illuminated manuscript for our family, passing peacefully six months later with dignity. He treated her artistry, not just her age.

Doctor: Dr. Alper Sonkaya Hospital: Acibadem Atasehir Hospital

We brought our 7-year-old son for a second opinion about a complex abdominal mass. Dr. Sonkaya spent an hour on the floor with him, explaining treatment using toy dinosaurs. His collaborative pediatric-oncology approach with a children's hospital was seamless. Our son now calls his scar his 'dinosaur battle mark' and is back on the soccer field.
