Prof. M.D. Züleyha Akkan Çetinkaya Reviews

As a 24-year-old professional violinist, my sudden inability to digest even simple foods threatened my career. Dr. Züleyha's diagnosis of a rare duodenal web, missed by three other doctors, was precise. Her endoscopic correction was so delicate I was playing scales the next day. She didn't just fix my digestion; she saved my musical voice.

My 82-year-old father, a retired ship captain, developed alarming jaundice while visiting from Norway. Dr. Züleyha navigated his complex biliary obstruction like the seasoned captain he was—calm, authoritative, and brilliant. Her ERCP procedure during a weekend emergency felt like a masterclass in precision medicine. He's back fishing in the fjords, calling her 'the admiral.'

After years of unexplained abdominal pain dismissed as 'stress,' Dr. Züleyha discovered mesenteric panniculitis during a routine colonoscopy I'd postponed for fear. Her approach was revolutionary: she treated the inflammation while coordinating with a rheumatologist, creating a holistic plan. For the first time in a decade, I'm pain-free and planning a hiking trip to Cappadocia.

Our 7-year-old daughter, Elif, developed severe eosinophilic esophagitis that made eating terrifying. Dr. Züleyha designed a pediatric-friendly dilation protocol using animated explanations and a stuffed animal 'patient.' She transformed treatment from trauma to adventure. Elif now proudly announces she has 'Dr. Züleyha's special superhero esophagus.'
