Dr. Eylül Çarpar Reviews

I brought my 4-year-old son, Ali, to Dr. Çarpar after months of frustration. He was an extremely picky eater, surviving on little more than white bread and milk, and had fallen off his growth curve. Our pediatrician was concerned. Dr. Çarpar didn't just hand us a list of 'good foods.' She spent the consultation playing a food-color matching game with him, making silly faces with vegetable cutouts. Her approach was pure child psychology wrapped in nutrition science. She gave us a 'Food Explorer' chart with stickers and tiny, non-threatening goals. Within six weeks, he tried (and liked!) roasted sweet potato, chickpeas, and salmon. She treated the anxiety around eating, not just the diet. We have a different child at the dinner table now.

As a 72-year-old with recently diagnosed Type 2 diabetes and congestive heart failure, I felt overwhelmed by the conflicting dietary advice from various specialists. My cardiologist said one thing, my endocrinologist another. Dr. Çarpar at Acibadem Taksim was the conductor who made the orchestra play in harmony. She created a single, cohesive, and practical meal plan that respected all my medical boundaries without making food feel like punishment. She focused on Turkish cuisine I love—showing me how to adapt my favorite lentil soup and eggplant dishes. Her follow-up was meticulous; she even called me after my first week to adjust portion sizes. My latest bloodwork showed dramatic improvement. She gave me control back.

This was no routine checkup. I was admitted to Acibadem Taksim through the ER with severe acute pancreatitis, likely triggered by gallstones and years of an erratic diet. In the ICU, once I was stabilized, Dr. Çarpar was introduced as part of my team. Her role was critical and immediate. She designed a very gradual, step-by-step nutritional reintroduction protocol to rest my pancreas. She explained the 'why' behind every clear liquid and later every soft, bland spoonful with a calm, firm clarity that cut through my painkiller fog. She coordinated directly with my surgeons. Her interventions prevented complications and likely shortened my hospital stay. This was dietary medicine as emergency intervention, and she was a lifesaver.

I am a competitive amateur cyclist in my 40s, and I consulted Dr. Çarpar for performance optimization, not illness. I expected a generic 'eat more carbs' sheet. What I got was a fascinating deep dive into metabolic flexibility and nutrient timing tailored to my intense training and recovery cycles. She analyzed my training logs, used a continuous glucose monitor for a week to see my personal responses to food, and created distinct nutritional plans for endurance rides, interval days, and rest days. She even addressed gut health during long events. The difference in my energy levels and recovery rate has been profound. Dr. Çarpar treats elite dietary science not as a secret, but as a customizable tool for anyone committed to their goals.
