Prof. M.D. İnan Anaforoğlu

My 8-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after a sudden onset of symptoms. Dr. İnan Anaforoğlu at Acibadem Maslak was our lifeline. He didn't just treat her; he taught our entire family. He knelt down to her eye level, explained everything with cartoon pancreas diagrams he drew himself, and created a personalized management plan that felt like a game to her. His pediatric endocrinology approach transformed a terrifying diagnosis into something manageable. Six months later, she's thriving, checking her own levels with pride. He calls her his 'little scientist' and always remembers her favorite stuffed animal's name. We're not just patients; we're part of his care family.

As a 72-year-old with a complex history of thyroid nodules, osteoporosis, and newly discovered adrenal insufficiency, I needed a conductor for my hormonal orchestra. Dr. Anaforoğlu is that maestro. During what I thought would be a routine checkup, he noticed subtle symptoms others missed and ordered a specific ACTH stimulation test that revealed the adrenal issue. His approach is methodical yet compassionate—he coordinates with my cardiologist and rheumatologist at Acibadem, creating integrated treatment plans. He explains the 'why' behind every adjustment in my medication. Last month, he prevented a potential adrenal crisis. I trust him completely with my fragile endocrine balance.

I arrived at Acibadem Maslak's emergency department in a state of severe thyrotoxic storm—heart racing at 140 bpm, tremors uncontrollable, confused. Dr. Anaforoğlu was called in immediately. What followed was a masterclass in acute endocrine intervention. He stabilized me with precise medications within hours, then spent the next three days personally monitoring my response, adjusting treatments minute by minute. He discovered a previously undiagnosed Graves' disease as the trigger. His emergency protocol was flawless, but what struck me was how he explained each step to my terrified wife in the ICU waiting room. He turned a life-threatening crisis into a controlled chronic condition with a clear long-term plan.

After a failed parathyroid surgery elsewhere left me with persistent hypercalcemia and vocal cord damage, I sought Dr. Anaforoğlu for what I feared was a hopeless revision. He spent two hours reviewing my previous imaging, then proposed a novel, minimally invasive approach using Acibadem's advanced intraoperative PTH monitoring. The surgery was a masterpiece of precision—he removed the adenoma through a tiny incision, sparing my recurrent laryngeal nerve. My calcium normalized within hours, and my voice recovered completely. His follow-up has been meticulous: weekly calls for the first month, now quarterly checkups where he reviews bone density scans I didn't even know I needed. He didn't just fix a surgical failure; he restored my quality of life.
