Dr. Aysimin Akçakaya Koraman

My 9-year-old son, adopted from a conflict zone, had severe night terrors and unexplained abdominal pain. While others suggested psychological causes, Dr. Aysimin investigated physically and found intestinal parasites uncommon in our region, likely contracted during his early childhood. Her gentle treatment approach and collaboration with a trauma-informed child psychologist addressed both physical and emotional healing simultaneously.

During a family vacation from Norway, our 7-year-old developed acute appendicitis. Dr. Aysimin coordinated a same-day minimally invasive surgery at Acibadem Altunizade, then created a recovery plan accounting for our flight home 5 days later. She remained available for video consultations across time zones, even helping us navigate Norwegian follow-up care seamlessly.

Our 14-year-old daughter, a competitive rhythmic gymnast, developed a mysterious fatigue syndrome that baffled multiple specialists. Dr. Aysimin didn't just treat symptoms—she discovered an unusual vitamin D metabolism disorder linked to her intense training schedule and restrictive diet. Her customized supplementation plan and coordination with our daughter's sports nutritionist had her back on the mat in 8 weeks, now with a gold medal at the national championships.

When our 3-day-old newborn developed persistent jaundice, Dr. Aysimin noticed subtle eye movement patterns others missed. She ordered specific genetic testing that revealed a rare but treatable metabolic disorder called Crigler-Najjar type 2. Her early intervention with specialized phototherapy and medication prevented neurological damage. Today our son is a thriving 2-year-old who loves painting with bright yellow colors—a happy coincidence we cherish.
