Patient Experience
As a 42-year-old archaeologist working on a remote dig site in Anatolia, I developed severe pelvic pain. Video consultations with Dr. Uysal from my tent led to a diagnosis of a complex ovarian cyst. She coordinated my return to Izmir, performed a meticulous laparoscopic surgery preserving my ovary, and I was back documenting ancient mosaics within three weeks. Her ability to manage long-distance care was as impressive as her surgical skill.
My 17-year-old daughter, a national-level swimmer, was diagnosed with severe endometriosis that threatened her career. Dr. Uysal didn't just see a patient; she saw an athlete. She designed a conservative treatment plan involving precise hormonal therapy and physical therapy coordination. My daughter just qualified for the European Junior Championships—a dream we thought was lost.
After five miscarriages across three countries, my husband and I, both marine biologists, were emotionally exhausted. Dr. Uysal discovered a rare uterine septum missed by previous doctors. Her corrective hysteroscopic surgery was followed by a personalized progesterone protocol. She answered emails even during her off-hours when we were anxious. Our son is now six months old, and we call him our 'Mediterranean miracle.'
At 58, I assumed my bleeding was just menopause. Dr. Uysal's thorough investigation revealed early-stage endometrial cancer. Her approach was remarkable: she explained everything using simple diagrams, involved a multidisciplinary team for a robotic-assisted hysterectomy, and created a recovery plan that allowed me to continue managing my family's olive grove with minimal disruption. Two years on, I'm cancer-free and grateful for her vigilance.
