After a complicated pelvic fracture from a cycling accident, my rehabilitation felt impossible. Dr. Kübra approached it like a puzzle, designing a phased program that started with aquatic therapy in the hospital's pool before moving to land-based work. She didn't just treat the bone; she retrained my entire gait pattern and core stability. Her explanations, using 3D models on her tablet, made the complex biomechanics clear. Six months later, I'm not just walking—I'm hiking again. Her blend of cutting-edge tech and profound anatomical knowledge is exceptional.
We brought our 7-year-old son, diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy affecting his right side, for consultation. Dr. Kübra immediately got on the floor with him, turning assessments into games involving his favorite superheroes. She created a 'mission-based' home exercise program with a reward chart and involved us every step of the way. Instead of daunting routines, she framed it as 'strength training for his adventures.' Her ability to connect with children and transform therapy into play has yielded more progress in three months than a year of previous, more rigid approaches. She treats the child, not just the condition.
As an 82-year-old with severe spinal stenosis and osteoporosis, I feared surgery was my only option for the debilitating pain. Dr. Otabaş conducted the most thorough evaluation I've ever experienced, spending over an hour just understanding my daily life. Her conservative protocol combined precise, low-force manual therapy with a gentle, personalized neural mobilization and strengthening plan I could do seated. She coordinated with my cardiologist directly. The pain reduced significantly, and I regained the ability to garden from my adaptive chair. She gave me my independence back with unwavering patience and respect.
I was referred post-emergency for a severe, acute wry neck (torticollis) that came on overnight. Unable to turn my head even slightly, I was in panic. Dr. Kübra's same-day emergency appointment was a relief. She calmly diagnosed a facet joint lock and performed a specific, incredibly gentle manipulative technique that provided instantaneous 70% improvement. She then followed up with laser therapy and careful movement guidance to prevent recurrence. The entire resolution took two sessions. Her skill in handling acute, painful crises with such decisive and effective action is remarkable. She turned a terrifying situation into a quick, educational fix.

My 82-year-old father was admitted to Acibadem Altunizade after a severe sepsis episode following pneumonia. Dr. Lerzan Doğan managed his case with what I can only describe as 'vigilant grace.' She didn't just treat numbers on a monitor; she treated my father as a whole person. When his kidney function dipped, she explained three possible approaches to our family in Turkish mixed with simple English so we all understood, never rushing us. She personally adjusted his antibiotics at 11 PM based on new culture results, then sat with us for 20 minutes to alleviate our fears. Her ability to balance aggressive treatment with compassion for an elderly man's frailty was extraordinary. We left the ICU not just with a recovered patient, but with a detailed home care plan specific to his dementia.
Our 7-year-old son was transferred to Dr. Doğan's care after a near-drowning incident at summer camp. What struck us immediately was how she modified her entire approach for a child. She used a stuffed bear to demonstrate what the ventilator was doing, speaking to him directly even when he was sedated. When his oxygen saturation became unstable, she made a critical decision to use a specific high-frequency oscillator against initial recommendations—a decision that pulmonologists later said saved him from lung injury. She created a 'bravery chart' for his ICU stay and coordinated with child life specialists. Her rounds included checking if the night noises frightened him. She didn't just save his life; she protected his childhood through the trauma.
I was the 'routine gallbladder surgery' that turned catastrophic when I developed anaphylaxis to anesthesia followed by acute respiratory distress syndrome. Dr. Doğan took over my care when I was crashing. Her intervention was methodical yet lightning-fast—she simultaneously managed my collapsing airway, the anaphylactic reaction, and impending organ failure while calmly directing a team of 8. What's unforgettable is how she identified a rare drug interaction no one else had caught, stopping a medication that was worsening my condition. For 72 hours, she seemed to live in the ICU, her notes were meticulous narratives rather than checklists. When I woke up, she explained everything using diagrams drawn on a bedside whiteboard. She turned a medical catastrophe into a structured recovery.
As an expat with complex post-COVID pulmonary fibrosis, my follow-up care with Dr. Doğan has been unlike any medical experience. She doesn't do 'quick checks.' Each visit begins with her reviewing the data I upload to her portal—home spirometry readings, oxygen saturation logs, even my subjective 'good days vs bad days' notes. During my last visit, she spent 45 minutes comparing my current CT slices with year-old images, pointing out microscopic improvements invisible to me. She then redesigned my entire rehab regimen based on subtle patterns she'd observed. When I expressed anxiety about travel, she created a contingency plan for three different climate scenarios. Her follow-up isn't maintenance; it's active, anticipatory medicine that makes me feel like we're collaboratively editing my recovery manuscript.
Dr. dr Levent Türkeri provided exceptional care for my urology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.

A 42-year-old marine archaeologist, Nilüfer, presented with unexplained secondary infertility after years of diving in the Aegean. Dr. Uygur discovered a unique case of chronic pelvic inflammation linked to prolonged exposure to specific marine microorganisms, requiring a tailored antibiotic regimen and a novel laparoscopic lavage technique. After a six-month land-based recovery, Nilüfer conceived naturally.
17-year-old competitive rhythmic gymnast, Elif, was brought in by her anxious coach, not her parents, with primary amenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain. Dr. Uygur diagnosed a complex Müllerian anomaly exacerbated by extreme athletic training. She coordinated a delicate surgical correction with a pediatric surgeon and designed a phased return-to-sport plan, successfully preserving both fertility and athletic potential.
A 58-year-old retired calligrapher, Gülseren, sought help for severe postmenopausal bleeding. She had a profound phobia of hospitals stemming from childhood. Dr. Uygur performed her diagnostic hysteroscopy in a specially prepared, calming room with traditional Turkish music, discovering and resecting an early-stage endometrial polyp. The patient's recovery was swift, aided by the doctor's culturally sensitive, fear-allaying approach.
