Dr. Didem Kazan

My 8-year-old son, a competitive swimmer, developed severe, painful aquagenic urticaria—water-induced hives—that threatened his passion. Emergency visits provided only temporary relief. Dr. Kazan designed a unique pre- and post-swim barrier regimen using specialized creams and a tailored wet-suit material. She worked directly with his coach. Now he's back in the pool, breaking personal records, and we have an action plan for flare-ups.

As a 68-year-old retired botanist, I developed a persistent, scaly rash on my hands after experimenting with a rare hybrid fern. Multiple doctors dismissed it as simple eczema. Dr. Kazan was the first to recognize it as a rare phytodermatitis triggered by specific fern spores. Her treatment not only cleared the rash but she collaborated with me to create a protective hand-care protocol for fellow botanists, turning my medical issue into a preventive guide for my community.

I'm a 42-year-old night-shift security guard who developed a rapidly growing, pigmented lesion on my calf. Due to my work hours, I kept postponing care. Dr. Kazan's clinic accommodated a late-night emergency consultation. She diagnosed an early-stage melanoma and performed immediate surgery at Acibadem Kartal. Her follow-up included a personalized skin surveillance schedule aligned with my nocturnal lifestyle, likely saving my life.

Our 16-year-old daughter, an aspiring violinist, developed debilitating psoriatic plaques on her fingertips and neck, making practice agonizing. Steroid creams from others thinned her skin. Dr. Kazan pioneered a combination of targeted phototherapy sessions timed before rehearsals and a custom finger-cap treatment. She also consulted with her music teacher. The plaques receded without affecting her tactile sensitivity, allowing her to win a prestigious youth orchestra audition.
