Patient Experience
My 8-year-old daughter developed mysterious recurring fevers that baffled three pediatricians. Dr. Kocagöz spent hours reviewing her travel history and discovered she'd been exposed to an unusual tick-borne parasite during our family camping trip in the Black Sea region. Her detective work and gentle bedside manner with a frightened child were extraordinary.
During my 24th week of pregnancy, I was diagnosed with listeriosis from contaminated cheese. Dr. Kocagöz coordinated a delicate balance between treating my severe infection and protecting my unborn baby, working alongside obstetricians in round-the-clock monitoring. Today, my healthy daughter and I are both thriving thanks to her precision care.
As a 45-year-old humanitarian aid worker evacuated from a conflict zone with a drug-resistant wound infection, I arrived at Acıbadem in critical condition. Dr. Kocagöz utilized novel phage therapy when conventional antibiotics failed, personally coordinating with international labs to obtain the specialized treatment that ultimately saved my leg and my life.
As a 72-year-old retired history professor who contracted a rare fungal infection after an archaeological dig in Cappadocia, I was terrified when local antibiotics failed. Dr. Kocagöz didn't just treat the infection—she became fascinated by its historical context, researching similar cases from ancient texts while designing a targeted antifungal regimen that saved both my health and my ability to continue fieldwork.
