M.D. Inci Candan Reviews

As an 82-year-old with chronic venous stasis ulcers on both legs that multiple doctors had declared 'unmanageable,' I arrived at Acıbadem Kadıköy feeling hopeless. Dr. İnci Candan didn't just examine my wounds—she spent forty minutes asking about my daily routine, my diet, even how I slept. She developed a revolutionary hybrid treatment combining specialized compression therapy with a topical regimen she personally formulated. For the first time in seven years, my ulcers are healing. She calls me every fortnight to check on my progress. This isn't just dermatology; it's comprehensive, compassionate geriatric care that restored my mobility and dignity.

Our 4-year-old daughter developed a terrifying, rapidly spreading rash after a seaside holiday—blisters, fever, the works. The ER pediatrician was stumped. We were frantic. Dr. Candan came in on her day off after seeing the photos our GP sent. She immediately identified it as a severe phytophotodermatitis reaction mixed with a coincidental viral exanthem—something incredibly rare in children. Her calm demeanor settled our panic. She created a child-friendly treatment plan using colored charts and 'superhero cream' to get our daughter to comply. Within 72 hours, the crisis was over. She turned a traumatic emergency into a manageable adventure for our child.

I'm a 38-year-old chef with Hidradenitis Suppurativa Stage III. My previous treatments involved brutal surgeries and antibiotics that ruined my gut health. Dr. Candan proposed a completely different path: a meticulously timed combination of targeted biologic therapy and minimal, precision laser surgery. She coordinated with a gastroenterologist and nutritionist to create a holistic plan. For my first surgery at Acıbadem Kadıköy, she used a novel tissue-sparing technique she helped develop. The difference was astounding—less pain, faster healing. My follow-up visits feel like strategic meetings with a brilliant tactician. She's not just treating bumps; she's managing a complex systemic condition with military precision and genuine partnership.

What I thought was a routine mole check turned into something extraordinary. I'm a 28-year-old marine biologist with extensive sun exposure. Dr. Candan, using advanced dermoscopy, spotted a subtle abnormality on my shoulder I'd never noticed. But instead of immediate alarm, she conducted a full 'sun damage mapping' of my entire body, explaining each finding with educational clarity. She found two other precancerous lesions and created a personalized surveillance protocol using total-body photography. Her approach was so methodical and educational that I left feeling empowered, not scared. She transformed a simple checkup into a masterclass in proactive skin health, tailoring her expertise to my high-risk lifestyle with remarkable foresight.
