Patient Experience
Our 14-year-old daughter, a competitive figure skater, developed mysterious hives and swelling after intense training sessions that baffled local allergists. Dr. Bingöl identified it as a rare form of exercise-induced urticaria combined with a previously undiagnosed complement deficiency. Her tailored treatment plan involved specific pre-training protocols and targeted immunotherapy. Our daughter now competes internationally without incident, and Dr. Bingöl's understanding of adolescent physiology and athletic demands made all the difference.
When our 3-year-old adopted son from Eastern Europe arrived with recurrent infections no one could explain, Dr. Bingöl discovered a rare combined immunodeficiency likely linked to prenatal malnutrition. She coordinated with infectious disease specialists at Acibadem Maslak to create a phased immune-rebuilding program. Watching his immune system gradually strengthen over 18 months—transforming from a fragile child to one who now enjoys playgrounds—was a miracle orchestrated by her patient, holistic approach.
As parents of a 9-year-old with hyper-IgE syndrome, we'd faced years of emergency hospitalizations for lung abscesses. Dr. Bingöl revolutionized care by implementing a predictive monitoring system using smart wearable data to detect infections before symptoms appear. Her proactive approach has prevented three potential hospitalizations in the past year, changing our lives from constant crisis management to planned, preventive care.
Our newborn failed the severe combined immunodeficiency screening, and we were terrified. Dr. Bingöl guided us through an innovative gene therapy trial available at Acibadem Maslak, explaining complex science with compassion. She became our medical navigator through the 8-month process. Today, our 2-year-old has a functioning immune system without needing a bone marrow transplant—a outcome we didn't dare hope for initially.
