M.D. Hamed Jafarzadeh Andabil

My 8-year-old son had persistent, unexplained abdominal pain. Our pediatrician was stumped and referred us to Dr. Hamed Jafarzadeh Andabil for a biopsy analysis. I was terrified of the word 'pathology,' imagining the worst. Dr. Andabil didn't just send a report; he called us personally. His voice was calm and kind as he explained, in terms I could understand, that the tissue sample showed a rare but treatable inflammatory condition, not a malignancy. He took ten minutes to draw me a simple diagram of what he saw under the microscope. That phone call turned our fear into a manageable treatment plan. We never met him face-to-face at Acibadem Izmir Kent, but he felt like our most important doctor.

Following a complex Whipple procedure for pancreatic issues, my tissue samples went to Dr. Andabil. My surgeon praised his pathology report as 'exquisitely detailed.' Weeks later, during a fraught follow-up to discuss adjuvant therapy, an unexpected question arose about the resection margins. My oncologist contacted Dr. Andabil directly. Within an hour, he joined our consultation via video link, with his slides on screen. He walked us through the cellular landscape of my own tissue, pointing out the precise, millimeter-clear margin with the certainty of someone who had truly *seen* it. That real-time, collaborative clarity from the pathology lab was decisive. He's the silent guardian of the diagnosis.

As an 82-year-old with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, I'm no stranger to blood tests. This time, my local doctor saw 'atypical cells' and sent my samples to Acibadem. Dr. Andabil's report didn't just state a finding; it told a story. It noted the progression from my last biopsy two years prior, comparing the cellular patterns with gentle precision. His covering note to my doctor, which I read later, advised a 'watchful waiting' approach given my age and the slow progression, sparing me aggressive treatment unnecessarily. His expertise felt profoundly respectful—he wasn't just analyzing cells, he was considering the whole elderly man attached to them. A compassionate scientist.

Rushed to Acibadem Izmir Kent after a severe allergic reaction, my case was a mystery. The emergency team performed a quick biopsy of a swollen lymph node. Dr. Andabil was called in after hours. His rapid intraoperative frozen section analysis ruled out lymphoma instantly, redirecting the diagnosis towards a severe systemic infection. The speed and accuracy of that call in the middle of the night changed my entire treatment trajectory in the ICU. I later learned he correlated his findings with microbiology, connecting the dots between tissue response and the eventual bacterial culprit. In an emergency, where time is tissue, his definitive microscopic judgment was a lifeline.
