Explore real stories from individuals who have trusted Prof. M.D. Ayşe Sağduyu Kocaman with their health.
My 8-year-old daughter began having 'absence' episodes during her championship-level figure skating training—moments where she'd freeze mid-spin. Other doctors suggested quitting sports. Dr. Kocaman designed a unique monitoring protocol using motion sensors during practice, diagnosing exercise-induced absence seizures. She created a treatment plan synchronized with her competition schedule. Last month, she won her regional championship seizure-free.
After surviving a high-altitude climbing accident at 41, I developed debilitating vertigo that made even walking feel like falling. Dr. Kocaman pioneered a virtual reality vestibular rehabilitation program at Acibadem Maslak, simulating mountain terrain to retrain my brain. She treated it not as an inner ear problem but as a neurological mismatch. I've since returned to moderate hiking—a recovery I was told was impossible.
My husband, a 58-year-old diplomat, began making uncharacteristically risky decisions during international negotiations. Dr. Kocaman identified early behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia through sophisticated social cognition testing. Her intervention preserved his professional abilities for two critical years, allowing for a dignified transition. She supported our entire family through the cognitive and emotional landscape of this rare diagnosis.
As a 72-year-old retired music teacher, I developed sudden, terrifying musical hallucinations—hearing full symphonies that weren't there. Dr. Kocaman didn't dismiss this as age-related confusion. Through specialized auditory neurology testing at Acibadem Maslak, she identified a rare form of temporal lobe epilepsy. Her targeted treatment not only stopped the phantom music but preserved my actual musical memory, allowing me to continue teaching piano to grandchildren.
