Prof. M.D. Derya Eroğlu

As a 42-year-old archaeologist working on a remote dig in Anatolia, I discovered I was pregnant with unexpected complications. Dr. Derya coordinated my care via satellite phone consultations before I could return to Istanbul. She performed a delicate cerclage procedure at Acıbadem Fulya, allowing me to continue my fieldwork with monitoring. Her innovative approach blended ancient maternal wisdom with modern medicine, resulting in the healthy birth of my daughter during a scheduled break between excavations.

My 17-year-old daughter, a nationally ranked rhythmic gymnast, developed severe exercise-induced amenorrhea and bone density concerns. Dr. Eroğlu created a revolutionary hormonal balancing protocol that respected her athletic ambitions while restoring her menstrual health. Instead of insisting she stop training, Dr. Derya collaborated with her coaches and nutritionists at the hospital's sports medicine center. Today, my daughter competes at higher levels with improved performance metrics and recently earned a physiology scholarship inspired by her care journey.

After surviving breast cancer at 38, I was told pregnancy would be impossible due to treatment effects. Dr. Derya pioneered a personalized ovarian stimulation protocol using minimal medication over 14 months, carefully monitoring for any recurrence signs. She performed the embryo transfer herself during a lunar eclipse, which she noted symbolically represented renewal. Our 'miracle twins' were born at Acıbadem Fulya exactly two years after my final chemotherapy session, with Dr. Derya present for both the transfer and birth as promised.

As a transgender man (age 29) seeking hysterectomy as part of my gender affirmation, I faced countless rejections until meeting Dr. Eroğlu. She didn't just perform the surgery—she redesigned the entire patient pathway. She consulted with my endocrinologist, created anatomical models to plan the laparoscopic procedure around my existing testosterone therapy effects, and even modified post-op garments for better binding compatibility. Her respect for my identity was evident in every detail, from pronoun usage to surgical documentation.
