I completed my General Surgery specialization at Istanbul Haydarpaşa Numune Training and Research Hospital in 2000, where I started by successfully taking the Medical Specialization Exam in 1995, which was my dream of General Surgery, and thus I became a double major specialist in Anatomy and General Surgery.
Between 2000 and 2002, I worked as a faculty member and General Surgery lecturer at Kadir Has University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anatomy. In 2008, I started working again at Haydarpaşa Numune Hospital, where I received my surgical specialization, and worked as a Surgery Specialist in the same hospital for many years.
During my education, I was particularly interested in the diagnosis and surgery of breast cancer and benign breast diseases, as well as proctology (anal area diseases).

In 2014, I was an observer at Vivantes Hospital Breast Center in Berlin.

In 2021, I started working as a faculty member at Demiroğlu Bilim University, Department of General Surgery, and as a General Surgery Specialist at Florence Nightingale Hospitals. I currently work as a faculty member at Demiroğlu Bilim University, Department of General Surgery, and work part-time as a General Surgery specialist at Ataşehir Florence Nightingale Hospital.
I have written more than 85 articles in national and international journals and authored 2 book chapters, one of which is "Menopause and Breast Cancer" and the other is "Male Breast Cancer". I still follow scientific congresses and developments closely.
My areas of interest are primarily breast cancer diagnosis and surgery, benign breast diseases and surgery, Proctology (hemorrhoids, anal fissure, anal abscess, anogenital conduloma), pilonidal sinus, hernia surgery and thyroid surgery.
