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.

Doctor: M.D. Ekin Saydam Hospital: Acibadem Kartal Hospital

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.
