M.D. Zühre Esra Kıvanç Reviews

As a 78-year-old retired history professor with complex polypharmacy, I was experiencing alarming cognitive fog and fatigue.

Her systematic approach literally cleared my mind within days.

During my exchange semester from Norway, I developed mysterious fevers that Turkish doctors dismissed as 'travel adjustment.'

Our 12-year-old daughter with Type 1 diabetes was hospitalized with severe DKA while we vacationed in Istanbul. Dr. Kıvanç, though an internist, coordinated seamlessly with pediatric specialists, creating a hybrid care plan that addressed both her acute crisis and the psychological trauma of medical emergency abroad. She even arranged video consultations with our home endocrinologist in Germany.

As a 42-year-old professional freediver, I was devastated when shortness of breath threatened my career. Multiple specialists found 'nothing wrong.'

Her treatment plan preserved 92% of my lung function.
