Patient Experience
I was a 68-year-old man who had been dismissed by two other endocrinologists with vague diagnoses of 'age-related fatigue.' Dr. Berberoglu did something remarkable, she spent 45 minutes just listening to my daily routine, then ordered a specific adrenal function test others had missed. Turns out I had a rare form of cyclical Cushing's syndrome. Her surgical plan for my adrenal adenoma was explained with hand-drawn diagrams. Two years post-op at Medical Park Bursa, I'm gardening again. She doesn't just treat numbers; she treats lives.
Our 8-year-old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and our world shattered. Dr. Zehra was our anchor. Instead of a scary clinic room, her first consultation with our child was at a small table with colored pencils. She taught her to draw what 'feeling shaky' looked like. She created a personalized 'mission map' for insulin doses, turning management into a game. During a midnight hypoglycemia scare, she answered our video call herself. She transformed fear into understanding. We don't have a doctor; we have a guardian angel in a white coat.
As a 42-year-old competitive cyclist, my 'routine' bloodwork revealed shocking calcium levels. What followed was a diagnostic odyssey for a parathyroid tumor. Dr. Berberoglu's approach was like a strategic masterclass. She coordinated with ENT surgeons, radiologists, and even a voice therapist pre-op, concerned about my vocal cords as a public speaker. The minimally invasive surgery at Medical Park was flawless. Her follow-up protocol included tracking my power output on the bike as a recovery metric. She treats peak performers with the precision we need.
I arrived at the emergency department with a thyroid storm, heart racing at 140 bpm, delirious. Dr. Berberoglu was the on-call endocrinologist. In the chaos, her calm was palpable. She didn't just shout orders; she explained each medication's purpose to my terrified husband in real-time. She sat by my bedside for hours titrating drips. After stabilizing me, she uncovered the trigger: a hidden Graves' disease flare-up. Her long-term plan involved blocking antibodies, not just suppressing symptoms. She pulled me from the brink and built a new foundation for health.
