Patient Experience
A last-minute business trip to Istanbul turned into a nightmare when I had a severe cutaneous adverse reaction to a new medication. In the ER at Acibadem, Dr. Bayraktar managed this acute emergency with incredible calm. Her rapid diagnosis of DRESS syndrome and coordination with internal medicine saved me from organ involvement. Her follow-up care via telemedicine when I returned to Norway was seamless.
We brought our newborn daughter to Dr. Bayraktar for a concerning vascular birthmark on her eyelid. Beyond the excellent pulsed dye laser treatment, Dr. Bayraktar's holistic approach included pediatric ophthalmology coordination to monitor vision and profound psychological support for us, the parents. She treated our anxiety as seriously as the hemangioma.
As a 72-year-old retired botanist with a rare lichenoid eruption misdiagnosed for years, Dr. Bayraktar's encyclopedic knowledge of plant-related dermatoses was revelatory. She identified my condition as a reaction to my prized orchid collection's fungicides. Her treatment plan involved environmental modifications alongside targeted therapy, restoring my skin and allowing me to keep my passion.
My 8-year-old son, a competitive swimmer, developed severe, painful aquagenic urticaria that baffled local doctors. Dr. Bayraktar at Acibadem Bakirkoy didn't just treat the hives; she pioneered a novel desensitization protocol using controlled, graduated water exposure combined with a customized topical barrier cream. He's now back in the pool, training for nationals.
