Asst. Prof. MD. Gurcan Dikme

As expatriates from Norway, we struggled for years with our 8-year-old son Liam's unexplained cyclic vomiting syndrome. Dr. Dikme discovered it was triggered by a previously undiagnosed metabolic liver condition. His tailored treatment plan involving dietary modifications and targeted medication has given Liam his first vomit-free year since infancy. Dr. Dikme even coordinated with our Oslo pediatrician for seamless care continuity.

My 14-year-old daughter Zeynep, a competitive swimmer, suddenly developed debilitating abdominal pain. Multiple doctors dismissed it as stress. Dr. Dikme identified mesenteric panniculitis through advanced endoscopic ultrasound, a condition rarely seen in adolescents. His minimally invasive treatment allowed her to return to national championships within three months. He modified her nutrition plan around training schedules personally.

Our 6-month-old twins, Arda and Efe, both developed severe cow's milk protein allergies with different presentations. Dr. Dikme created separate diagnostic and treatment pathways for each, recognizing that identical twins can have divergent gastrointestinal responses. His research-based approach to elemental formulas and gradual reintroduction protocols has both boys now tolerating dairy at 2 years old.

During a family vacation from Germany, our 5-year-old son Felix developed acute liver failure from accidental mushroom ingestion. Dr. Dikme's emergency hepatology team at Medical Park Florya performed therapeutic plasma exchange through difficult vascular access. His round-the-clock monitoring and novel antidote protocol reversed what German specialists later called 'inevitable transplantation.'

Our 3-week-old newborn, Elif, developed severe jaundice that wasn't responding to phototherapy. Dr. Dikme identified a rare biliary atresia variant through innovative imaging he personally performed. His emergency Kasai procedure at Medical Park Florya saved her liver function. What amazed us was his daily 6 AM visits to track her bilirubin levels personally, even on weekends. Elif is now 18 months old, thriving with normal liver enzymes.
