Patient Experience
After a decade of unexplained secondary infertility and three devastating miscarriages, my journey felt hopeless. Dr. Engin Oral approached my case not as another statistic, but as a complex puzzle. He discovered a rare uterine septum combined with subtle immunological factors that others had missed. His surgical precision during the hysteroscopic resection was remarkable, but it was his post-operative protocol—a tailored combination of anticoagulants and immune modulators—that made the difference. I'm now holding my three-month-old daughter. He doesn't just treat conditions; he architects possibilities where others see dead ends.
My 14-year-old daughter developed severe pelvic pain that local doctors dismissed as 'bad periods.' Dr. Oral listened to her with profound respect, something that moved me to tears. He diagnosed adolescent endometriosis through gentle, minimally invasive laparoscopy. His approach was holistic: he coordinated with a pediatric nutritionist and a pain specialist, and even spoke to her school about accommodations. He treated her not as a child patient, but as a young woman whose entire future was at stake. Her pain is now managed, and her confidence restored. His care transcended gynecology; it was life-giving advocacy.
As a 68-year-old woman, I was terrified when postmenopausal bleeding began. Many doctors rushed to worst-case scenarios. Dr. Oral, however, conducted a painless office hysteroscopy with a calm, methodical demeanor. He found and immediately removed a benign but complex polyp that was precariously located. What set him apart was his management of my concurrent cardiac arrhythmia; he consulted directly with my cardiologist at Atakent Hospital to time the procedure perfectly. His expertise bridged two specialties seamlessly. I felt safeguarded by a mind that considers the whole human ecosystem, not just one organ.
I arrived at Acibadem Atakent as an emergency transfer at 26 weeks pregnant with sudden, severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. The situation was dire. Dr. Oral's command in that crisis was awe-inspiring. He stabilized me with targeted medications, bought 72 critical hours for steroid injections to mature the baby's lungs, and then performed an emergency cesarean with a modified technique to minimize my blood loss. Our micro-preemie survived the neonatal ICU, and my own recovery avoided long-term complications. He navigated the knife-edge between maternal and fetal survival with a courage that felt less like medicine and more like artistry in the face of chaos.
