Patient Experience
A 17-year-old exchange student from Azerbaijan presented with sudden-onset foreign accent syndrome following a migraine episode. Dr. Ahmadova identified a rare form of migraine-associated speech dysprosody and implemented a multilingual speech therapy approach, incorporating both Turkish and Azerbaijani linguistic patterns. The patient recovered her original speech patterns within six weeks through targeted neural retraining exercises.
A 41-year-old commercial ferry captain developed episodic déjà vu with olfactory hallucinations of seawater. Dr. Ahmadova diagnosed right temporal lobe epilepsy triggered by specific navigational patterns. She created a customized antiseizure regimen synchronized with his work schedule and implemented GPS-based trigger avoidance technology on his vessel, allowing safe continuation of his career.

Our 8-year-old son, Leo, was diagnosed with a rare bone tumor after months of unexplained leg pain. Dr. Nur Olgun didn't just see a case file; she saw a little boy who loved soccer. She explained everything to him using dinosaur analogies, calling the treatment his 'superhero training.' During the most intense chemotherapy weeks at Acibadem Izmir Kent, she'd visit his room with small puzzles, asking about his favorite players. Her approach was a masterclass in balancing cutting-edge pediatric oncology with profound emotional intelligence. We're now in remission, and Leo still draws pictures for 'Dr. Nur, the tumor tamer.' Her team's coordination with child life specialists made hell feel manageable.
As a 72-year-old grandfather diagnosed with a secondary hematological malignancy, I felt out of place in a pediatric ward. Dr. Olgun treated my late-onset complication with astonishing expertise, never dismissing me as an anomaly. She tailored my immunotherapy schedule considering my age-related arthritis, collaborating with my rheumatologist in a way I've never seen before. At Acibadem Izmir Kent, she once sat with me for forty minutes discussing how to explain my illness to my young grandchildren without frightening them. Her holistic vision—treating the family ecosystem, not just the disease—turned my fear into a structured battle plan with measurable hope.
Our 15-month-old daughter, Ayla, was rushed to emergency with a sudden, catastrophic neuroblastoma presentation. Dr. Olgun was called at 2 AM and arrived within 25 minutes, her calm presence slicing through the panic. She didn't sugarcoat the severity—'This is a mountain, but we have ropes'—before outlining an aggressive surgical and MIBG therapy plan. During the 11-hour surgery, she gave us three concise updates, each with specific, technical details that strangely comforted us. Her post-op follow-ups included meticulous attention to developmental milestones delayed by treatment, proving her care extends far beyond mere survival metrics to quality of life.
What began as a routine checkup for our 6-year-old's persistent fatigue unraveled into a complex leukemia diagnosis. Dr. Nur Olgun's method was remarkable: she conducted the initial conversation with our daughter present, using a custom-made picture book about blood cells. For the parents, she provided a separate, detailed binder with treatment phases, potential side effects mapped to Turkish support resources, and even a glossary. Her innovation was a 'question jar'—we wrote down anxieties as they arose between visits, which she addressed systematically each time. This wasn't passive care; it was a collaborative, educational journey that empowered us amidst the chaos. Her clinic at Acibadem Izmir felt like a command center designed for both scientific rigor and profound human warmth.

I brought my 7-year-old son, Ali, to Dr. Can after a terrifying diagnosis of medulloblastoma. The word 'radiation' for a child filled us with dread. Dr. Can didn't just see a tumor; he saw a little boy who loved soccer. He spent an hour with us, drawing simple pictures to explain the proton therapy plan, showing how it would target only the bad cells. His calm, almost fatherly demeanor settled Ali's fears (and ours). The treatment was precise, and the side effects were minimal. At our last follow-up, Ali brought Dr. Can a drawing of a soccer player. We call him our miracle worker.
As an 82-year-old with inoperable prostate cancer that had spread to my bones, I thought my options were exhausted. The pain was debilitating. Dr. Can proposed a course of highly focused stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). He was frank about the challenges but infused with a quiet confidence. The treatment itself was like something from science fiction—completely painless, with a machine that moved around me. Within weeks, the bone pain subsided dramatically. He didn't just treat a disease; he gave me back my ability to sit in my garden and enjoy my grandchildren. His blend of cutting-edge technology and profound human kindness is rare.
My case was not routine. A rare, complex chordoma at the base of my skull had been deemed too risky by others. Dr. Can at Acibadem Izmir Kent was my last hope. He presented a multidisciplinary plan involving cyberknife radiosurgery with pinpoint accuracy. What stood out was his meticulousness; he reviewed my imaging for what felt like an eternity, pointing out nerve pathways to avoid. The procedure was a single, long session. He checked on me personally three times that day. Now, two years later with clear scans, I realize he didn't just perform a procedure—he engineered a cure where others saw only risk. His expertise is a quiet force.
It started as a sudden, severe headache and blurred vision—an emergency MRI revealed a metastatic brain tumor from my previously treated lung cancer. I was admitted in a panic. Dr. Can was consulted and he moved with urgent yet deliberate speed. He explained that whole-brain radiation was the standard, but due to the single lesion, he recommended targeted stereotactic radiosurgery to preserve cognitive function. He made this critical decision in the middle of a hectic Friday evening. The treatment was swift, and the relief from symptoms was nearly immediate. In a chaotic emergency situation, his clarity of thought and decisive, patient-centered action were my anchor. He turns crises into manageable journeys.
