Our 14-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Turner Syndrome at birth, but we never found a specialist who truly understood the complexities until we met Dr. Sema Eryilmaz at Acibadem Altunizade. She didn't just look at the growth charts; she examined our daughter's bone age X-rays with such precision, noticing subtle patterns others missed. Her approach to hormone therapy was methodical yet personalized—she explained how each adjustment would affect not just height, but cardiac health and future fertility. What amazed us was her Saturday morning call to discuss lab results, speaking directly to our teenager about her own body in a way that empowered rather than frightened her. After two years under her care, we're seeing improvements we were told were impossible.
My 72-year-old mother was admitted through emergency with severe hyponatremia and confusion—everyone assumed it was geriatric decline until Dr. Eryilmaz was consulted. While others focused on her age, Dr. Eryilmaz discovered a decades-old pituitary issue that had been mismanaged since childhood. She spent hours reconstructing medical history from vague family stories, ordering specific antibody tests that revealed autoimmune hypophysitis. Her rounds felt like detective work; she'd sit at the bedside explaining how sodium levels connected to adrenal function in language we could understand. She coordinated with cardiology and neurology, but remained the conductor of the entire symphony. Mom's mental clarity returned within days—we call it Dr. Sema's miracle.
As expats from Dubai, we brought our 8-year-old son to Istanbul specifically for Dr. Eryilmaz's reputation in precocious puberty cases. From the first video consultation, she noticed subtle signs in his hand X-rays that local doctors had overlooked. Her clinic at Acibadem felt different—she had child-friendly diagrams of hormone pathways and let my son use a miniature skeleton to point where he felt 'growing pains.' The treatment plan involved suppressing hormones temporarily, but she created a colorful calendar with him, marking milestones with stickers rather than medical jargon. Her follow-up emails included research papers translated into layman's terms and encouragement for his soccer dreams. We've since referred three families to her, each with completely different endocrine puzzles she solved uniquely.
Our newborn's routine heel prick test revealed congenital hypothyroidism—what began as a standard checkup became a lifelong care journey. Dr. Eryilmaz met us in the neonatal unit at 8 PM, explaining not just the levothyroxine dosage but how thyroid hormone shapes brain development in the first 90 days. She created a dosage chart accounting for weight gain patterns, taught us to recognize subtle symptoms like prolonged jaundice or hoarse crying, and even coordinated with a lactation consultant regarding medication timing. Her 'thyroid diary' system—where we track feeding, sleep, and medication responses—feels like co-managing rather than just following orders. At 6 months, our daughter's development is ahead of schedule, and we credit Dr. Eryilmaz's obsessive attention to metabolic details most would consider minor.
After a devastating paragliding accident that left me with a complex brachial plexus injury, multiple specialists told me I'd never regain meaningful arm function. Dr. Kızıltan approached my case not as a lost cause, but as a multidimensional puzzle. He designed a rehabilitation protocol combining targeted neural mobilization with a novel electrical stimulation sequence he personally adjusted weekly. What truly stunned me was his collaboration with a prosthetics engineer to create a temporary dynamic splint that provided feedback during exercises. Eighteen months later, I can write my name and lift a coffee cup—small miracles he made possible through relentless, creative dedication.
We brought our 7-year-old son, diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, to Dr. Kızıltan after his knees swelled like grapefruits. Other doctors just prescribed rest. Dr. Kızıltan got down on the floor with him, turned exercises into a superhero training game called 'Mission: Mighty Joints,' and used cartoon diagrams to explain inflammation. He prescribed a tailored aquatic therapy program at the hospital pool and taught us gentle joint protection techniques for tying shoes and carrying his backpack. He didn't just treat a child's joints; he safeguarded his childhood. Our son now runs without pain, and calls Dr. Kızıltan his 'joint coach.'
As a 78-year-old with advanced spinal stenosis and osteoporosis, I was a fragile bundle of pain, terrified of surgery. Dr. Kızıltan proposed a conservative 'scaffolding' strategy. He performed a precise, image-guided epidural injection for immediate relief, then built a gradual rehabilitation plan using a harness-supported treadmill to safely rebuild my gait. He even reviewed my home setup via a video call to suggest railings and anti-slip mats. His approach was like being held by steady, knowledgeable hands the entire way. I'm not 'cured,' but I can walk to the market and tend my balcony garden again—my dignity restored.
I'm a professional violinist who developed focal dystonia in my left hand—a career-ending tremor that appeared only during complex passages. Dr. Kızıltan, understanding the psychomotor intricacy, approached it as a 'neurological misfire in a specific context.' He used EMG biofeedback to make the involuntary muscle activity audible, then designed sensorimotor retraining exercises that mimicked fingering patterns. He coordinated with a music therapist to reintegrate the movements into practice. It was part neurology, part physical therapy, part performance psychology. After six months, I performed a full concerto again. He saved not just my hand, but my life's purpose.

A 72-year-old retired glassblower from a rural village presented with progressive fatigue. Investigations revealed cardiac amyloidosis, but uniquely, his decades of exposure to extreme heat had caused mild thermal myocardial changes visible on cardiac MRI. Dr. Şekercı coordinated a multidisciplinary approach combining novel amyloidosis treatments with careful management of his pre-existing thermal adaptations.
