My interest in ophthalmology began in my childhood under the influence of my father, Op. Dr. Mahmut Nedim Şerefoğlu, who was an ophthalmologist. When I chose Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, my goal was to become an ophthalmologist. When I started my medical education, I followed my passion for art and attended the painting courses of my esteemed teacher Atilla Önengüt, and continued this adventure for many years. In the following years, I started working with my beloved teacher Reza Hemmatirad. These courses not only taught me how to paint; they also allowed me to delve into the depths of art and gain new perspectives. The creative and aesthetic understanding that art has brought to both my personal and professional life inspires me in my work in the field of oculoplastic surgery today.
When I started my ophthalmology specialization, my great interest in oculoplastic surgery shaped my education in this field. During my specialization at Vakıf Gureba Training and Research Hospital, my education accelerated with the mentorship of Prof. Dr. Şafak Karslıoğlu, the pioneer of oculoplastic surgery.
After my compulsory state service, I worked as a chief resident at Bağcılar Education and Research Hospital and had the opportunity to conduct multidisciplinary studies in the field of oculoplasty and orbita. In 2018, upon the invitation of Prof. Dr. Muhittin Taşkapılı, I started working at the oculoplasty unit at Beyoğlu Eye Education and Research Hospital. I significantly improved my experience by working at a tertiary referral hospital, where I conducted many studies and published articles with my specialist and assistant colleagues. I earned the European Board of Ophthalmology diploma, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh membership, and the title of Associate Professor Doctor during this intense work tempo.
I took on the responsibility of the Oculoplastic Surgery unit as of 2021. In 2023, I moved to Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital, one of the important reference hospitals of Turkey, and diagnosed and treated many difficult and specific diseases with my expert teammates.
The details of each structure of the eye have always fascinated me, and sharing these details with my patients gives me satisfaction as a physician. Sharing these details with my patients is one of my greatest sources of motivation as a physician.
In order to devote the time for my patients, I started to serve in my own practice as of September 2024.
