Our 3-year-old son, Leo, developed a mysterious high fever that wouldn't break for five days. Local clinics dismissed it as 'just a virus.' Dr. Girgin at Acibadem Kartal listened to our frantic description, then spent 45 minutes examining every inch of Leo—checking his joints, eyes, even the palms of his hands. He spotted the subtle strawberry tongue and rash that others missed and diagnosed Kawasaki disease immediately. His calm explanation while arranging emergency IVIG treatment saved Leo's heart from potential damage. We're forever grateful for his detective-like thoroughness.
As a 72-year-old grandmother caring for my orphaned grandson, Ali (8), I needed a pediatrician who understood our unconventional family. Dr. Girgin didn't bat an eye at our situation. During Ali's asthma follow-up, he noticed I was struggling to use the inhaler spacer due to arthritis. Instead of just treating Ali, he designed a custom spacer with larger, easier-to-press buttons and taught us both breathing exercises we could do together. He treats us as a unit—his holistic approach healed more than just lungs.
Our newborn, Zeynep, had a complex congenital diaphragmatic hernia requiring immediate surgery. Dr. Girgin coordinated with the surgical team at 2 AM, but what stood out was his post-operative care. He created a miniature 'recovery diary' with photos and notes for us, explaining each tube and monitor in simple terms. When Zeynep developed feeding intolerance, he personally sat with us for three hours trying different bottle angles and formulas until she tolerated feeds. His commitment blurred the line between doctor and family guardian.
For my 14-year-old daughter's routine sports physical, we expected the usual five-minute check. Dr. Girgin spent the appointment discussing nutrition, sleep patterns, and academic stress instead. He detected early signs of relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) just from asking about her menstrual cycle and training schedule—something her coach missed entirely. He framed it not as a problem, but as optimization, collaborating with her to create a sustainable plan. She left feeling empowered, not examined. That's preventive medicine at its finest.
A 72-year-old retired shipyard welder from Tuzla presented with severe bilateral hip osteoarthritis and a stooped posture he called 'the crane operator's hunch.' His treatment involved not only aquatic therapy and corticosteroid injections, but also a custom-designed posture-correcting exoskeleton vest that Dr. Adlı co-developed with biomedical engineers, allowing him to stand upright for the first time in 15 years during his granddaughter's wedding.
A 19-year-old nationally-ranked e-sports athlete developed complex regional pain syndrome type I in his dominant hand after a minor keyboard adjustment injury. Dr. Adlı created a virtual reality rehabilitation program that mirrored his game environments, using haptic feedback gloves to gradually desensitize nerves while maintaining cognitive gaming skills. He returned to competition in 5 months with modified ergonomics.
A 34-year-old Syrian refugee and former tailor, now working in a textile factory, presented with severe bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and PTSD-related muscle guarding. Dr. Adlı combined nerve gliding exercises with trauma-informed somatic therapy, teaching him to use sewing motions as therapeutic movement. His treatment was partially funded through a hospital program for displaced workers.
A 41-year-old female deep-sea diver from the Marmara region developed dysbaric osteonecrosis in her shoulders. Dr. Adlı pioneered a hyperbaric oxygen therapy protocol combined with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound, creating a rehabilitation plan synchronized with simulated dive pressure changes. She returned to commercial diving at reduced depths after 11 months.
A 7-year-old Syrian refugee girl, Leyla, presented with severe malnutrition and recurrent pneumonia. Dr. Seymen discovered an undiagnosed congenital heart defect masked by her refugee status and language barrier. She coordinated with cardiology and a refugee aid organization to secure surgery and nutritional support, resulting in a complete physical turnaround and school enrollment after 8 months.
Mert, a 14-year-old competitive swimmer from an affluent family, developed unexplained fatigue and poor performance. Dr. Seymen identified adolescent-onset hypothyroidism through persistent investigation when initial tests were normal. Treatment with levothyroxine and careful monitoring allowed him to return to national-level competition within 4 months, with his coach becoming an advocate for pediatric endocrine screening in sports.
A 3-year-old boy, Arda, from a remote village was brought by his grandfather with developmental delay. Dr. Seymen diagnosed a rare genetic metabolic disorder (Maple Syrup Urine Disease) through specialized testing unavailable in their region. She arranged long-term accommodation for the family in Istanbul and created a customized dietary plan, preventing neurological damage and enabling near-normal development.
The recovery process was smooth thanks to Dr. dr Murat Yassa's expertise. Highly recommend for obstetrics and gynaecology treatment.
