M.D. Parvana Seyidova

At 68, I thought my severe pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding were just 'part of getting older.' Dr. Seyidova listened to my concerns without dismissal, something other doctors had failed to do. She discovered a complex ovarian mass that required delicate laparoscopic surgery. Her approach was methodical—she explained the 3D imaging in my pre-op consultation using a holographic display I'd never seen before, drawing the blood supply map with a light pen. Post-surgery, she personally checked my incisions at 11 PM, adjusting the pain management protocol when standard medication caused unusual side effects. She didn't just treat the disease; she treated my fear of hospitals that dated back to my youth.

Our 14-year-old daughter developed sudden, crippling menstrual pain that left her bedridden each month. Pediatricians offered little beyond basic painkillers. Dr. Seyidova created a safe space for her, speaking directly to her in a gentle, non-patronizing tone while including us in the conversation. She diagnosed adolescent endometriosis—a complex case often missed. Her treatment plan was innovative: a coordinated regimen with a pediatric rheumatologist and a tailored physical therapy routine involving aquatic therapy she designed herself. She even followed up with a secure messaging app our daughter could use for quick questions, which gave her tremendous autonomy. The transformation in our child's quality of life has been profound.

I arrived at Acibadem Atasehir as an emergency transfer at 26 weeks pregnant with severe preeclampsia and HELPP syndrome. The situation was deteriorating rapidly. Dr. Seyidova took command of the high-risk delivery room with astonishing calm. She made a critical decision to perform an emergency cesarean while simultaneously managing my crashing liver enzymes. What stood out was how she narrated each step to my terrified husband in the corner, saying things like 'I'm now securing this vessel, her pressure is stabilizing,' which somehow made the chaos feel controlled. After the neonatal team whisked our premature son away, she sat with me for 20 minutes in recovery, holding my hand and explaining exactly what would happen next, her voice the only steady thing in the room.

As a fitness instructor, I needed a routine checkup but mentioned offhand that my energy levels had been fluctuating. Dr. Seyidova, during a standard pelvic exam, noticed a subtle asymmetry in my cervical tissue that she said 'just didn't match the textbook presentation.' She insisted on a specialized dye-test colposcopy she performs only for ambiguous cases. It revealed precancerous cells in an unusual, folded location that standard screening had missed for years. Her follow-up was meticulous: she used a cold ablation technique to preserve fertility, and then had me return every 4 months for a 'mapping session' where she photographed the area to track healing. She turned a routine visit into potentially life-saving early intervention with observational skills that felt almost artistic.
