About Me
I am a doctor who has devoted his career as a gynecologist to the surgical treatment of female cancers such as uterine, ovarian and cervical cancers. I have studied and personally worked at the leading centers in Turkey, Europe and the USA. Most recently, after working for 2 years at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which has been serving since 1884 and the world's first private cancer center, I returned to my country in July 2020 with the pride of being the first Turkish physician to graduate from the gynecology department. At MSK, I gained extensive experience in robotic surgery, sentinel lymph node technology, and the treatment of cancer patients with advanced or relapsed cancer. Now, I offer my experience on this subject to the service of my patients in my own clinic. I believe that I can especially help patients who have relapsed, advanced or who want a second surgical opinion.
