Dr. Eylem Akar Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired botanist, I discovered a strange growth on my tongue. My local doctor dismissed it. Dr. Akar examined my biopsy with the precision of a scientist studying a rare plant species. She identified a rare, early-stage spindle cell carcinoma that others had missed. Her detailed report guided a minimally invasive surgery that saved my speech and my passion for gardening. Her diagnosis wasn't just clinical—it was lifesaving artistry.

Our 8-year-old daughter, Elif, had mysterious abdominal pain for months. Multiple hospitals suggested 'childhood anxiety.' Dr. Akar analyzed her appendix tissue post-removal and discovered an extremely rare neuroendocrine tumor—something typically seen in adults. Her urgent, precise pathology report initiated an immediate oncology protocol. Two years later, Elif is tumor-free and back to gymnastics. Dr. Akar saw what others couldn't in a tiny piece of tissue.

I'm a 31-year-old competitive marathon runner. After collapsing mid-race, initial tests suggested heart inflammation. Dr. Akar examined my cardiac biopsy and challenged the diagnosis. She identified a rare genetic storage disorder mimicking myocarditis. This changed everything—treatment shifted from steroids to enzyme therapy. I'm now running again, thanks to her willingness to look deeper than the obvious presentation.

My 45-year-old husband had a 'simple' mole removal. The initial report said benign. Dr. Akar, conducting a second opinion review, noticed atypical cells at the very margins. She insisted on re-excision, revealing a stage 1 melanoma. Her meticulous attention to detail, literally at the edges, prevented what could have been a fatal spread. She reads tissues like most people read books—with profound comprehension.
