Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son, a competitive swimmer, developed severe, painful aquagenic urticaria—water-induced hives—that threatened his passion. Emergency visits provided only temporary relief. Dr. Kazan designed a unique pre- and post-swim barrier regimen using specialized creams and a tailored wet-suit material. She worked directly with his coach. Now he's back in the pool, breaking personal records, and we have an action plan for flare-ups.
As a 68-year-old retired botanist, I developed a persistent, scaly rash on my hands after experimenting with a rare hybrid fern. Multiple doctors dismissed it as simple eczema. Dr. Kazan was the first to recognize it as a rare phytodermatitis triggered by specific fern spores. Her treatment not only cleared the rash but she collaborated with me to create a protective hand-care protocol for fellow botanists, turning my medical issue into a preventive guide for my community.
I'm a 42-year-old night-shift security guard who developed a rapidly growing, pigmented lesion on my calf. Due to my work hours, I kept postponing care. Dr. Kazan's clinic accommodated a late-night emergency consultation. She diagnosed an early-stage melanoma and performed immediate surgery at Acibadem Kartal. Her follow-up included a personalized skin surveillance schedule aligned with my nocturnal lifestyle, likely saving my life.
Our 16-year-old daughter, an aspiring violinist, developed debilitating psoriatic plaques on her fingertips and neck, making practice agonizing. Steroid creams from others thinned her skin. Dr. Kazan pioneered a combination of targeted phototherapy sessions timed before rehearsals and a custom finger-cap treatment. She also consulted with her music teacher. The plaques receded without affecting her tactile sensitivity, allowing her to win a prestigious youth orchestra audition.
As a 68-year-old retired marine archaeologist, my jaw had been deteriorating for years from an old diving accident. Dr. Saydam didn't just see a complicated reconstruction; he saw my passion for underwater exploration. He designed a custom implant that actually accommodates my diving regulator mouthpiece. Now I'm back documenting shipwrecks in the Aegean, chewing tough expedition food with ease.
Our 8-year-old daughter, born with ectodermal dysplasia, had only four malformed teeth. Other dentists offered standard pediatric dentures. Dr. Saydam spent three months collaborating with geneticists to create bioactive implants that could grow with her jaw. The procedure coincided with her learning about plant biology in school—she now calls them her 'magic seeds' and draws pictures of smiling flowers with root systems that look like dental X-rays.
I'm a 42-year-old professional glassblower who shattered my front teeth when a furnace backdraft caused me to stumble. Emergency reconstruction during Istanbul's annual glass art festival would have meant cancelling my exhibition. Dr. Saydam worked with a ceramicist to create crowns that actually incorporate subtle dichroic properties—they shimmer different colors in various lighting, turning my accident into what colleagues now call 'the most expensive art installation in my mouth.'
My 91-year-old grandmother, a former calligraphy master, refused dentures for decades, saying they'd ruin her ability to feel the paper through her cheek while writing. Dr. Saydam developed a partial implant system with sensory feedback technology adapted from aerospace research. She can now detect pressure variations, and her latest exhibition featured a piece titled 'Tooth and Ink' exploring tactile memory.
After surviving a rare lightning strike that caused diffuse peripheral neuropathy and muscle contractures, I was told I'd need permanent assistance. Dr. Elif developed a neuro-modulation protocol using targeted electrical stimulation paired with mirror therapy that rewired my nervous system. From being wheelchair-bound to hiking Cappadocia's valleys—her approach felt like science fiction becoming reality.
A 14-year-old competitive figure skater from a wealthy family presented with unexplained fatigue and declining performance. Dr. Ünsür discovered a rare case of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction masked by anxiety symptoms. She collaborated with a sports medicine specialist to create a personalized inhaler protocol and breathing technique regimen, allowing the athlete to return to competition within three weeks while managing her condition long-term.
As a 72-year-old retired carpenter with severe lumbar spinal stenosis, I could barely walk 50 meters without excruciating leg pain. Dr. Elif didn't just prescribe medication—she designed a revolutionary aquatic therapy program in Acibadem Kartal's rehabilitation pool that rebuilt my core strength without pressure on my spine. After 8 weeks, I walked 2 kilometers along the Bosporus with my grandson for the first time in five years.
My 14-year-old daughter, a promising rhythmic gymnast, suffered a complex sacroiliac joint dysfunction that threatened her career. Dr. Tokgöz Nizam created a hybrid treatment combining osteopathic manual therapy with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises specifically for adolescent athletes. She treated my daughter not just as a patient but as an artist—now she's competing nationally again, moving with more grace and less pain than before her injury.
My husband, a 58-year-old ship captain, developed frozen shoulder after a minor deck injury that resisted all conventional treatments. Dr. Tokgöz Nizam performed an innovative hydrodilatation procedure under ultrasound guidance, then taught him specialized maritime rehabilitation exercises using ship ropes and pulleys. He returned to command his vessel with full rotational movement in just 10 weeks.
A 3-year-old refugee boy from Syria, recently resettled in a low-income neighborhood, arrived with severe malnutrition and developmental delays. Dr. Ünsür identified previously undiagnosed celiac disease compounded by post-traumatic stress. She worked with a social worker to secure specialized gluten-free foods through charity programs and initiated play therapy, resulting in significant weight gain and improved social interaction over six months.
An 8-year-old girl from a middle-class family presented with mysterious cyclical vomiting episodes every 3-4 weeks. Dr. Ünsür diagnosed abdominal migraine after ruling out gastrointestinal disorders. She implemented a preventive medication schedule synchronized with the lunar cycle (which correlated with symptoms) and taught the family biofeedback techniques, reducing episode frequency by 80% within two months.
A 16-year-old transgender patient from a supportive but confused family sought care for hormone therapy complications. Dr. Ünsür discovered an underlying endocrine disorder that required specialized management before continuing gender-affirming care. She coordinated with an endocrinologist and mental health professional, creating a phased treatment plan that addressed both medical needs and gender identity over nine months.
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr EMRE KISA's expertise. Highly recommend for pain management treatment.
A 72-year-old retired shipyard welder from Tuzla presented with unexplained weight loss. Dr. Uçar's analysis of his bone marrow biopsy, requested after inconclusive blood tests, revealed an extremely rare myelodysplastic syndrome variant linked to historical occupational cadmium exposure. Her detailed report guided targeted therapy, leading to stabilized blood counts after six months.
An 8-year-old girl from a rural village near Sakarya was transferred with a mysterious abdominal mass. Dr. Uçar performed intraoperative frozen section analysis during surgery, identifying it not as a tumor but as a massive, inflamed Meckel's diverticulum with ectopic pancreatic tissue—a finding that changed the surgical plan from radical resection to a simpler excision, ensuring full recovery.
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr Murat Yassa's expertise. Highly recommend for obstetrics and gynaecology treatment.
