Assoc. Prof. MD. Nail Erbek

When our newborn twins, conceived via IVF after years of struggle, both developed mysterious feeding intolerance and failure to thrive, we were terrified. Dr. Erbek discovered a rare genetic metabolic disorder affecting their ability to process certain proteins. His customized nutritional plan, involving specially formulated feeds and meticulous monitoring, transformed them from fragile infants into thriving toddlers celebrating their second birthday.

Our 8-year-old son, an aspiring pianist, developed sudden weakness in his left hand that spread rapidly. Emergency MRI revealed a spinal cord tumor. Dr. Erbek coordinated a multidisciplinary team including neurosurgeons and oncologists, but his psychological preparation for our child was extraordinary, using music therapy sessions before procedures and creating a 'courage playlist' that our son listened to throughout treatment and recovery.

During a family trip from Norway to Istanbul, our 6-year-old daughter suffered acute altitude sickness complications despite never leaving ground level. Dr. Erbek diagnosed her with a previously undetected pulmonary condition exacerbated by Istanbul's atmospheric pressure. His innovative treatment combining medication with controlled environmental exposure allowed her to complete our extended stay and return home without medical evacuation.

Our teenage daughter, a nationally ranked chess player, developed debilitating migraines before tournaments. Neurologists found nothing physically wrong. Dr. Erbek identified performance anxiety manifesting as physical symptoms and created a unique mind-body intervention program involving biofeedback, strategic breathing techniques, and cognitive exercises that not only resolved her migraines but improved her tournament performance by 40%.

Our 14-year-old competitive freediver developed sudden, unexplained vertigo after deep training dives. Multiple specialists suspected inner ear issues, but Assoc. Prof. MD. Nail Erbek recognized it as a rare pediatric form of decompression sickness. His unique protocol combining hyperbaric oxygen with pediatric-specific rehabilitation allowed our daughter to return to national competitions within three months, something we'd been told was impossible.
