Prof. M.D. Tayyar Sarioğlu

I'm a 78-year-old retired teacher with severe leg pain that kept me from my daily walks. My local doctor said it was just arthritis, but my daughter insisted I see Dr. Tayyar Sarioğlu. What a difference! He spent 45 minutes just examining my legs and listening, then showed me on a special ultrasound exactly where the blood wasn't flowing. He explained my carotid artery blockage in simple terms my grandchildren could understand. The surgery at Acibadem Bakirkoy was smoother than I imagined - I was walking the next day! Six months later, I'm back to my 5km morning walks. He calls me every three months just to check in. Not just a surgeon, but a true healer.

Our 9-year-old son developed a rare vascular malformation in his arm after what seemed like a minor fall. We saw three specialists who gave us frightening scenarios. Dr. Sarioğlu approached it completely differently - he got down on his knees to talk to our son first, showed him pictures of how he would fix the 'special roads' in his arm. The minimally invasive procedure he designed used techniques I'd never heard of. He video-called us the evening after surgery to show our son eating ice cream. What amazed me most was his team's coordination - every nurse knew our son's favorite cartoon character. We're now at the one-year follow-up with perfect blood flow and a child who isn't afraid of hospitals anymore.

I'm a 42-year-old marathon runner who noticed a pulsating lump in my abdomen. Turned out to be an abdominal aortic aneurysm found during a routine scan. Dr. Sarioğlu's approach was unlike anything I expected - he created a 3D model of my aorta from the scans to show me exactly what we were dealing with. Instead of immediate major surgery, he designed a staged endovascular repair that allowed me to maintain my fitness. The procedure at Acibadem Bakirkoy felt like something from a sci-fi movie - tiny incisions, robotic assistance. He even adjusted my training plan during recovery. At my last follow-up, he compared my current scans to the original model with the excitement of an artist reviewing his masterpiece. I've run two marathons since.

My husband collapsed at home with what we later learned was a ruptured visceral artery aneurysm - a true emergency. The ambulance team recommended Dr. Sarioğlu specifically for complex vascular emergencies. He met us in the Acibadem Bakirkoy ER at 2 AM, already having reviewed the CT scans en route. What followed was the most intense 48 hours of our lives, but Dr. Sarioğlu's calm precision was our anchor. He performed emergency embolization first to stabilize, then a complex reconstruction surgery. He updated me personally every two hours, even drawing diagrams. Three months into recovery, my husband is regaining strength. Dr. Sarioğlu still answers my texts within minutes. We learned later his team had prepared for every possible complication before surgery even began - that's the kind of thoroughness that saves lives.
