Our newborn twins arrived prematurely at 34 weeks, and the neonatal ICU journey left us traumatized. At our first outpatient visit, Dr. Önal didn't just measure weight and height. She dimmed the lights, spoke in whispers recognizing their sensory sensitivity, and examined them simultaneously with her assistant to minimize separation stress. She created a 'twin-specific' growth chart comparing their individual progress rather than standard percentiles. When she noticed subtle asymmetry in one twin's hip movement, she used ultrasound gel to demonstrate the difference to us visually. Her six-month neurodevelopmental follow-up included play-based assessments she designed herself. She doesn't see premature babies as 'catch-up projects' but as unique individuals with their own timelines.

A 19-year-old competitive freediver presented with recurrent episodes of severe vertigo and tinnitus after deep dives. Initial ENT workup was normal. Dr. Soylu received a biopsy of his temporal bone after a minor procedure for persistent ear fullness. Her meticulous analysis revealed microscopic, early-stage otosclerosis, a condition exceptionally rare in someone so young and active. Her diagnosis shifted treatment from vestibular suppressants to a targeted surgical consultation, potentially preserving his athletic career.
A 58-year-old retired shipyard welder from a low-income neighborhood presented with a non-healing ulcer on his lower leg, initially treated as a venous stasis ulcer for months. When a small biopsy finally reached Dr. Soylu, she identified rare, atypical mycobacterial organisms deep in the tissue, likely acquired decades prior from contaminated metal or seawater. Her specific pathogen identification allowed for a tailored, long-term antibiotic regimen, leading to gradual healing where standard care had failed.
A 7-year-old girl was admitted for persistent fever and abdominal pain. An appendectomy was performed, but the appendix appeared grossly normal. Dr. Soylu's histopathological examination revealed not appendicitis, but early-stage, localized Crohn's disease manifesting solely in the appendix—an extraordinarily unusual presentation. This early, incidental diagnosis allowed for immediate pediatric gastroenterology intervention and dietary planning, averting years of undiagnosed symptoms.
A 42-year-old vegan social media influencer underwent a routine breast reduction. The surgical specimen was sent for pathology. Dr. Soylu discovered multifocal, low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) entirely incidental to the cosmetic procedure. There was no family history or palpable lump. Her finding triggered a full oncology workup and preventive treatment, turning an elective surgery into a potentially life-saving intervention.
As a 72-year-old with a history of basal cell carcinoma, I'm no stranger to dermatologists. My case involved a suspicious lesion on my nasal ala, a tricky location. Dr. Kesikoğlu proposed a complex Mohs micrographic surgery, explaining each layer's mapping with a clarity I'd never experienced. During the procedure at the hospital, her focus was surgical precision, but her demeanor remained warm, constantly checking if I was comfortable. The reconstruction was artistry—the scar is virtually invisible. But what truly sets her apart was the six-month follow-up. She didn't just examine the site; she conducted a full-body mole scan with a new digital dermoscope, catching a very early melanoma on my back I had missed. She didn't treat a spot; she saved my life, twice.
This was supposed to be a routine annual skin check. I'm a 30-year-old software engineer with many moles. Dr. Ayten Ferahbaş, however, practices anything but 'routine.' She spent a full hour with me, not just looking, but interrogating each mole's history with a dermatoscope that displayed images on a screen. She found nothing malignant but diagnosed a patch of persistent dryness on my shins as a rare presentation of early-stage lichen planus, linked to my recent stress. She created a holistic plan involving specific emollients and mild topical treatment, and more importantly, discussed stress management. She emailed me curated, scientific articles about the mind-skin connection. She treats the patient in the skin, not just the skin on the patient.
I arrived as an emergency referral from my internist with a sudden, debilitating outbreak of blistering sores in my mouth and on my genitals. I was in agony and profound embarrassment. Dr. Kesikoğlu met me with zero judgment, only profound clinical acumen. She diagnosed Stevens-Johnson Syndrome triggered by a new antibiotic, a potentially life-threatening condition. She coordinated my immediate admission to Acıbadem Kadıköy, liaising directly with internal medicine and ophthalmology (as SJS can affect the eyes). Her daily visits were a masterclass in managing both severe physical pathology and intense patient anxiety. She held my hand during the first painful dressing change. Her aggressive yet measured treatment protocol pulled me through the crisis. My follow-up care involves managing post-SJS pigmentation, and her meticulous, almost obsessive attention to detail in this restorative phase gives me hope. She is a crisis manager and a healer.
Our 3-year-old daughter Elif developed a sudden, terrifying high fever that wouldn't break, accompanied by a strange rash that spread rapidly. We rushed to Acıbadem Kadıköy in a panic at midnight. Dr. Zamanov met us in the emergency department with remarkable calm. While we were frantic, he systematically examined her, asking precise questions about recent activities. He diagnosed it as roseola within minutes, explaining the viral pattern in such a reassuring way. His confidence was contagious. He didn't just prescribe medication; he gave us a detailed hour-by-hour care plan on a notepad, including when to use cool compresses and specific signs that would mean returning. By morning, her fever broke exactly as he predicted. He followed up with a phone call himself 24 hours later. We've never felt so seen and guided through a medical crisis.
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr İpek Mehmetoğlu Torun's expertise. Highly recommend for dental surgery treatment.
