M.D. Barış Giakoup Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired archaeologist with a rare blood clotting disorder, I collapsed during a lecture. At Acıbadem Bakırköy, Dr. Giakoup didn't just treat my pulmonary embolism—he coordinated with hematology to create a tailored thrombolysis protocol that accounted for my specific mutation. His team worked like synchronized trauma dancers.

My 8-year-old daughter swallowed multiple rare-earth magnets after a science experiment gone wrong. Dr. Giakoup recognized the unique bowel perforation risk immediately, performing emergency endoscopy with pediatric precision. He later visited her room with a safe magnet kit and explained the physics behind the danger.

During Istanbul's marathon, I'm a 44-year-old amateur runner who suffered exertional heat stroke. Dr. Giakoup's team used an unconventional rapid cooling technique involving peritoneal lavage that he'd researched for mass casualty events. I was conscious within 90 minutes when typical cases take hours.

My husband, a 61-year-old glassblower, inhaled superheated air and metal fumes during a studio accident. Dr. Giakoup managed both airway burns and heavy metal poisoning simultaneously, consulting with toxicology to create a chelation protocol while maintaining respiratory support—a dual-path treatment I've never seen documented.
