Dr. Birgül Karakoç

After three failed IVF cycles elsewhere, we came to Dr. Karakoç for a second opinion on our unexplained infertility. Instead of repeating standard protocols, she ordered a specialized immune system panel and discovered a previously overlooked thrombophilia. She designed a completely unique protocol incorporating anticoagulants and adjusted hormone timing. The attention to detail was extraordinary—she even reviewed my medication timing across time zones when I traveled for work. I'm now holding my 3-month-old daughter. Dr. Karakoç approaches complex cases like a detective solving a mystery, leaving no stone unturned.

As a 72-year-old woman experiencing unexpected post-menopausal bleeding, I was terrified. Dr. Birgül Karakoç at Acibadem Atasehir didn't just see me as another elderly patient. She spent an hour explaining the possible causes with anatomical diagrams, her calm voice dissolving my fear. The diagnostic hysteroscopy she recommended revealed a benign polyp, which she removed with such precision I felt minimal discomfort. What moved me most was her follow-up call two days later to check on me personally—not through a nurse. She treats the whole person, not just the symptom.

Our 14-year-old daughter developed severe menstrual pain that kept her home from school monthly. Pediatricians dismissed it as 'normal,' but Dr. Karakoç listened intently to her shy descriptions. She diagnosed adolescent endometriosis through gentle ultrasound and created a tailored management plan involving diet adjustments and specific medications. She spoke directly to our daughter, empowering her with knowledge about her own body. After three months, our girl is back to soccer practice. Dr. Karakoç has a rare gift for making young patients feel respected and understood.

During my 24th week of pregnancy, I arrived at Acibadem Atasehir with sudden, severe abdominal pain—an obstetric emergency. Dr. Karakoç was paged from another procedure and arrived within minutes. She immediately identified a placental abruption and coordinated an emergency team while keeping me astonishingly calm. Her decisive action during the emergency C-section saved both me and my baby, who needed NICU care. For weeks afterward, she visited us daily, monitoring my recovery and explaining each step. In crisis, she becomes both a brilliant surgeon and a compassionate anchor.
