M.D. Hasan Kamburoğlu Reviews

As a 28-year-old competitive freediver, I suffered a shallow water blackout during training. Rushed to Acıbadem Kartal, Dr. Kamburoğlu managed the complex cerebral and pulmonary aftermath with a protocol I'd never seen—using controlled hypothermia alongside hyperbaric principles. He understood the unique physiology of my sport. I'm not just alive; I'm back diving, thanks to his niche expertise.

My 92-year-old grandmother, a Holocaust survivor with a DNR order, developed severe sepsis after a fall. Dr. Kamburoğlu didn't just fight the infection. He spent an hour with our family, mapping her values to her care. He pioneered a 'comfort-focused critical care' path, aggressively treating her pain and delirium while honoring her wishes. She passed peacefully, with dignity, on her terms.

I was the foreign engineer on the Istanbul metro project when a worksite explosion caused crush injuries and inhalation burns. Dr. Kamburoğlu coordinated a multi-specialty team in seconds. His decisive move was an immediate bedside surgical airway and novel ventilator strategy to protect my lungs from chemical pneumonitis. He visited me daily, explaining progress in technical terms I understood.

Our 6-year-old son, a leukemia patient in remission, spiked a fever and became unresponsive. It was HLH—a cytokine storm. Pediatric ICU was full. Dr. Kamburoğlu, an adult intensivist, personally collaborated with the pediatric team to adapt adult protocols for our child's weight, monitoring him in a negative pressure room he commandeered. His cross-disciplinary agility saved our son's life.
