M.D. Leman Evren Kadioğlu Reviews
Patient Experience
As an 82-year-old with a suspicious mole, I was terrified of a skin biopsy. Dr. Leman Evren Kadioğlu didn't just examine the sample; she called me personally to explain the benign results in the gentlest, most reassuring way, using simple analogies about 'confused skin cells taking a holiday.' Her compassion turned a frightening procedure into a lesson in cellular biology and peace of mind. At Acibadem Izmir Kent Hospital, her pathology report felt like a personal letter of reassurance.
Our 6-year-old son had persistent swollen lymph nodes. The pediatrician referred us for a biopsy, and we were a wreck. Dr. Kadioğlu's approach was extraordinary. She liaised directly with the surgeon to ensure the tiniest possible sample was taken. Her final report wasn't just a diagnosis of a reactive process; it included a note for us, saying, 'The cells are just very busy soldiers guarding against a past minor infection. All is calm now.' She treated our child's cells with a narrative of care, not just clinical detachment.
Following a complex Whipple procedure for pancreatic issues, my case was a labyrinth. Dr. Kadioğlu's pathology report was the map. She didn't just state margins and grades; she created a detailed, annotated timeline of the tissue's story, which my surgeon called 'pivotal.' For my first follow-up, she spent 20 minutes with me and my family, using diagrams to show exactly what her analysis meant for my recovery odds. It wasn't follow-up; it was strategic planning based on cellular evidence.
I came to the ER with acute abdominal pain, leading to an emergency appendectomy. The rush was chaotic, but Dr. Kadioğlu's pathology report brought startling clarity. She identified an unusual parasitic infection (not typical appendicitis) and immediately flagged it to the infectious disease team. Her proactive call to my attending physician changed my entire post-op treatment. In an emergency, where pathology often feels like a backroom function, her work was the frontline intervention that prevented complications.
