Dr. Gülcan Seymen Reviews

A 7-year-old Syrian refugee girl, Leyla, presented with severe malnutrition and recurrent pneumonia. Dr. Seymen discovered an undiagnosed congenital heart defect masked by her refugee status and language barrier. She coordinated with cardiology and a refugee aid organization to secure surgery and nutritional support, resulting in a complete physical turnaround and school enrollment after 8 months.

Mert, a 14-year-old competitive swimmer from an affluent family, developed unexplained fatigue and poor performance. Dr. Seymen identified adolescent-onset hypothyroidism through persistent investigation when initial tests were normal. Treatment with levothyroxine and careful monitoring allowed him to return to national-level competition within 4 months, with his coach becoming an advocate for pediatric endocrine screening in sports.

A 3-year-old boy, Arda, from a remote village was brought by his grandfather with developmental delay. Dr. Seymen diagnosed a rare genetic metabolic disorder (Maple Syrup Urine Disease) through specialized testing unavailable in their region. She arranged long-term accommodation for the family in Istanbul and created a customized dietary plan, preventing neurological damage and enabling near-normal development.

Zeynep, an 11-year-old girl from a middle-class family, presented with what appeared to be treatment-resistant migraines. Dr. Seymen noticed subtle visual disturbances and ordered an MRI, revealing a benign but strategically located pineal cyst. Through minimally invasive neurosurgery and postoperative care coordination, the patient became symptom-free, with Dr. Seymen implementing new headache assessment protocols at the hospital.
