Dr. Ebru Özdemir

As a 72-year-old retired ship captain with a complex bladder diverticulum that five other urologists deemed inoperable, I had resigned myself to a life of discomfort. Dr. Özdemir spent three hours reviewing my old scans and proposed a novel laparoscopic approach she had pioneered. The 5-hour surgery at Acibadem Atasehir was flawless. Six months later, I'm sailing the Mediterranean again, completely symptom-free. Her courage to tackle 'impossible' cases changed everything.

Our 8-year-old daughter, Elif, was born with a rare duplex kidney system causing recurrent infections that stumped pediatric specialists. Dr. Özdemir created a hybrid treatment plan combining minimally invasive endoscopic correction with a tailored probiotic regimen. She explained everything to Elif using cartoon diagrams. Two years infection-free, Elif now wants to be a 'kidney doctor' like Dr. Ebru. The family-centered care was extraordinary.

I'm a 31-year-old professional violinist who developed sudden, debilitating testicular pain during an international tour. Rushed to Acibadem Atasehir's emergency department, Dr. Özdemir diagnosed testicular torsion but discovered my anatomy was atypical. She performed emergency microsurgery at 2 AM, preserving both function and sensation. I was back performing on stage in 3 weeks. She saved my career and my future.

My 58-year-old husband's advanced prostate cancer had metastasized, and we had exhausted conventional options. Dr. Özdemir proposed participation in an international focal HIFU trial she was leading at the hospital. Her approach wasn't just clinical; she coordinated nutritional support and stress management. Eighteen months later, his PSA is undetectable. She gave us hope when we had none, treating the whole person, not just the disease.
