I'm an 82-year-old with severe leg pain from peripheral artery disease. Walking to my garden became impossible. Dr. Simay Kara performed an angioplasty at Acibadem Fulya Hospital. She explained everything to my son and me with such patience, using simple drawings. The procedure was quick, and I felt no pain. The next morning, I could walk to the end of the hallway. A month later, I'm back tending to my roses. Her gentle manner gave this old man his independence back.
Our 7-year-old daughter had a complex vascular malformation near her kidney that other doctors found too risky to treat. We were terrified. Dr. Kara developed a minimally invasive embolization plan. She spoke directly to our daughter, calling her 'brave little explorer,' which calmed her down. The procedure lasted 90 minutes. Dr. Kara came out smiling, showing us the before-and-after images—the malformation was gone! Our daughter left the hospital the next day with just a tiny bandage. Dr. Kara's combination of technical brilliance and genuine care for children is extraordinary.
I came to Acibadem Fulya for a routine fibroid checkup, expecting just an ultrasound. Dr. Kara noticed an unusual pattern in my uterine arteries and suspected adenomyosis, which previous scans had missed. She recommended and performed a UAE (uterine artery embolization) the following week. Her approach was so thorough—she even discussed how it might affect future pregnancy plans. The recovery was smoother than I anticipated. At my follow-up, the symptoms were gone. Dr. Kara turned what could have been years of discomfort into a solved problem with one precise intervention.
This was a true emergency: my husband had a sudden, massive liver hemorrhage after a minor biopsy elsewhere. He was rushed to Acibadem Fulya at midnight. Dr. Kara was called in immediately. Within an hour, she performed an emergency embolization to stop the bleeding. She updated me every 30 minutes. Her calm confidence in that crisis was everything. She saved his life that night. During his recovery, she checked on him personally each morning. We went from panic to profound gratitude. In interventional radiology, Dr. Kara isn't just a technician; she's a lifesaver who handles pressure with incredible humanity.
