Hello everyone, I am Prof. Dr. Suat DOĞANCI. I graduated from Gülhane Military Medical Academy at the top of the class in 1999. I completed my cardiovascular surgery specialty training at Gülhane Military Medical Academy between 2003-2008. I became an assistant professor in 2011. I became an associate professor in 2013. between 2016-2017, I returned to Turkey after my 1-year training on Deep Vein Diseases at the European Venous Center in Maastricht, Netherlands. I became a professor in 2020. I am still working privately in my own practice. Apart from my CV, I am the secretary general of the Turkish Phlebology Association. European College of Phlebology is also the European roof association. I'm a member of the board of directors here. I am also the representative of European vascular surgery in Turkey. I am also a member of the scientific committee of the World Phlebology Association. At the same time, I am a member of the scientific committee representing the European continent in the Phlebology community, which is also referred to as the v-WIN Foundation.
Since I am a cardiovascular surgery specialist, I have received specialized training in cardiovascular diseases. My special interests are vascular diseases. In connection with this issue: after the training I received in Maastricht, Netherlands, in 2016-2017, I specialized in Deep Vein Diseases. Although the diseases that occur after Deep Vein Thrombosis, which we call Post Thrombotic syndrome, need to be treated with stenting, I also specialized in this disease, known as the hidden disease of women with Pelvic Venous disease.
After graduating in 1999, I worked at the 600-bed Air Force Hospital in Izmir. Then I came to Gülhane Military Medical Academy for my specialty training and served in this institution until my retirement.
In my clinic, we typically apply treatments related to vascular diseases. Although we have patients with arterial vascular diseases, since my general area of interest is vein diseases, we treat leg varicose veins, groin and ovarian varicose veins, which we call pelvic venous diseases, deep vein thrombosis, post-thrombotic syndrome, treatment of thin capillary varicose veins in the legs, which we call cosmetic phlebology, treatment of lipedema and lymphedema diseases in our clinic.
The point I would like to emphasize about our patients' choice of physician is that in today's medicine, almost every colleague can specialize more in their field and provide more specific services for that disease or that organ. For this reason, when our patients go to doctors about their problems and the treatment, it will help them get more effective and accurate treatment by researching who treats more patients according to this field, who has more experience in this field, and going directly to these doctors.
The reasons why patients prefer us can be summarized as follows; Since I specialize in vascular diseases, we can have patients with very different disease profiles in this area, which can range from the field of cosmetic phlebology to non-healing venous ulcers on the legs, which we call the spectrum of patients. For this reason, we can successfully treat all the diseases included in this spectrum, including vascular diseases. We also have a successful team in this field. For this reason, I can say that our patients can safely choose us, especially for vein diseases.
I want to especially point out to our patients regaurding their preference for us is: When patients contact us, they have no doubts that their disease will be thoroughly researched, triggers will happen, and as a result, the most appropriate treatment for them will be done safely. I wish everyone a healthy and happy day.
