Spec. MD. Mehmet Sarioglu

My 82-year-old father's metastatic prostate cancer had exhausted standard treatments when we met Dr. Sarioglu. Instead of suggesting more aggressive chemo, he created a 'gentle warfare' strategy combining low-dose immunotherapy with palliative radiotherapy that gave my father 18 quality months to finish his memoir. Dr. Sarioglu treated the whole man, not just the cancer.

During a routine diving physical, they found a neuroendocrine tumor in my pancreas, completely asymptomatic at 45. Dr. Sarioglu's team caught it at stage 1B through meticulous imaging review others had rushed. His surgical-oncology coordination meant I was diving again in 5 months with no evidence of disease, a testament to his preventive vigilance.

Our 16-year-old daughter's osteosarcoma diagnosis shattered our world. Dr. Sarioglu created a treatment plan that preserved her leg through limb-salvage surgery timed perfectly between chemotherapy cycles. He even coordinated with her school for remote learning during treatment. Two years later, she's cancer-free and just made her university basketball team.

As a Turkish expat returning from Germany specifically for treatment, I appreciated how Dr. Sarioglu integrated European trial data with local protocols for my advanced gastric cancer. His bilingual explanations and cultural understanding eased my family's anxiety. The hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy he recommended gave me three extra years to see my grandchildren grow.

As a 28-year-old software engineer, discovering a rare desmoid tumor in my abdomen felt like a system crash I couldn't debug. Dr. Sarioglu didn't just see another oncology case, he recognized my terror about preserving fertility and designed a targeted therapy protocol that shrank the tumor 70% while protecting my reproductive organs. His approach felt like precision coding for my unique biology.
