“We avoided an unnecessary surgery.”
“At our first consultation elsewhere, my wife was told that urgent surgery was needed because of a suspicion of breast cancer. We were even given a surgery date. The process was frightening and exhausting for us.
Since we were not fully convinced, we wanted a second opinion and visited Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sina Ferahman. After a detailed examination, ultrasound and evaluation, we were told that surgery was not necessary and that regular follow-up would be enough.
His knowledge, experience, careful evaluation and humane approach gave us great confidence. Preventing an unnecessary surgery was priceless for us. This process taught us once again that a second opinion can be life-changing.”

“Choosing Dr. Sina was the best decision of my life.”
“I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in June 2025. I had not been followed properly in my city and even my marking had not been performed. After chemotherapy, I needed surgery and started searching for a doctor.
That is when I found Dr. Sina. Choosing him was the best decision of my life. Because of my TP53 mutation, radiotherapy was not suitable for me. He performed my bilateral mastectomy and lymph node surgery. His idealism, positive attitude, ability to manage the patient’s psychology and personalized treatment approach made a huge difference.
I came to Istanbul without hesitation, and I am grateful that I chose him.”
