Assoc. Prof. M.D. Fatih Aygün Reviews

Our 14-year-old competitive gymnast, Elif, developed a mysterious arrhythmia that baffled local specialists. Dr. Aygün identified it as a rare form of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia triggered only during extreme exertion. His collaboration with sports cardiologists at Acıbadem created a tailored treatment plan allowing her to continue modified training while ensuring safety. His understanding of adolescent athletic psychology was as precise as his medical diagnosis.

When 3-day-old Arda was transferred to Acıbadem Atakent with persistent cyanosis, Dr. Aygün suspected a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection that initial scans had missed. He coordinated an emergency midnight transfer to the cardiac surgery team, personally accompanying the incubator through hospital corridors. His calm explanation to our panicked family in the surgical waiting room gave us strength during the longest hours of our lives.

As expatriates from Norway, we struggled with Istanbul's healthcare system until our 7-year-old with complex Crohn's disease saw Dr. Aygün. He created a 'passport' documenting her entire medical history in Turkish and English, established direct communication with her Oslo specialists, and designed a hybrid treatment plan accounting for medication availability differences between countries. His global medical perspective saved our assignment abroad.

My 16-year-old non-verbal autistic son, Can, developed severe self-injurious behaviors that multiple doctors dismissed as 'behavioral.' Dr. Aygün was the first to investigate medically, discovering impacted wisdom teeth causing excruciating pain. He coordinated with a dentist experienced in special needs patients, arranged sedation protocols, and stayed throughout the procedure. Can's transformation post-recovery was miraculous.
