Assoc. Prof. Dr. Senai Aksoy: Leading IVF Specialist in Istanbul
Embarking on an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) journey involves more than just a medical decision; it is an act of absolute trust. For over 30 years, my philosophy has been rooted in one simple belief: advanced medical technology only finds its true meaning when it serves humanity.
Treating infertility is not only about managing complex protocols—it is about listening, understanding your fears, and crafting a “haute couture” strategy tailored specifically to your unique story.
Dr. Senai Aksoy at a Glance
Associate Professor Senai Aksoy is a pioneer of reproductive medicine in Turkey. Educated and specialized in France (University of Franche-Comté, Paris René Descartes), he combines the rigor of the French medical school with the technological innovation of Istanbul. With over 30 years of practice and 10,000+ successful births, he is a globally recognized authority in IVF, ICSI, and the treatment of severe male and female infertility.
Exceptional Expertise Forged in France
My academic journey profoundly shaped my vision of medicine. After earning my medical degree from Istanbul University, I chose to complete my entire medical specialization in France.
This dual heritage allows me to offer my international patients an approach that adheres to the strictest European standards while benefiting from the cutting-edge technological infrastructure available in Turkey.
My advanced degrees and training include:
- Specialization in Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University of Franche-Comté (France).
- Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Paris René Descartes University.
- Obstetrical and Gynecological Ultrasound at Louis Pasteur University, Strasbourg.
- Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgery at the University of Clermont-Ferrand.
This academic foundation is continuously updated through my contributions to international medical literature, authoring numerous peer-reviewed scientific articles and abstracts.
An IVF Pioneer: Over 30 Years Serving Families
Experience cannot be bought; it is built through thousands of complex cases, successes, and medical challenges overcome. In 1995, I had the honor of being a founding member of the very first IVF unit at the American Hospital in Istanbul.
This pioneering role was the professional springboard that led me to assist in the birth of over 10,000 babies. Each birth is a unique victory, and every patient continues to teach me about resilience and the unwavering strength of the parental instinct.
1985: Medical Foundations
Graduated with a Medical Degree from Istanbul University, marking the beginning of a lifelong career dedicated to women’s health.
1993: The French Expertise
Completed specialization in Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University of Franche-Comté (France), followed by advanced training in Paris, Strasbourg, and Clermont-Ferrand.
1994: Pioneering ICSI & TESE
Key member of the medical team that performed the very first ICSI and TESE procedures in Turkey, marking a historic turning point in the treatment of severe male infertility.
1995: Leading the Vanguard of IVF
Co-founded the In Vitro Fertilization unit at the American Hospital of Istanbul, introducing top-tier fertility protocols to Turkey.
1998: Private and Personalized Practice
Founded my own fertility center with the goal of moving away from “factory-like clinics” to offer highly personalized, ethical care based on the “Science with soul” philosophy.
Today: Over 10,000 Births
Continuing the mission with an unwavering commitment to innovation (micro-TESE, ICSI, genetics) and collaboration with elite medical centers (American Hospital, Acıbadem Fulya).
Scientific Authority: ICSI, micro-TESE, and Complex Cases
Severe male infertility or recurrent implantation failures are not dead ends. I have always pushed my clinical practice to offer solutions to couples previously deemed “hopeless.” I played a key role in introducing advanced micro-manipulation techniques to Turkey.
- ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): A technique where a single selected sperm is injected directly into the egg, bypassing numerous obstacles related to sperm quality.
- micro-TESE: For men with non-obstructive azoospermia, this microsurgical procedure allows us to locate and extract sperm directly from testicular tissue under a surgical microscope.
- Recurrent Implantation Failure & Miscarriages: Applying immunological protocols and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A) to maximize success rates.
The goal is never to offer you the most expensive treatment, but the right treatment for you. That is the very essence of responsible medicine.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why choose a doctor trained in France over others?
The French medical school is globally renowned for its humanistic clinical approach and diagnostic rigor. This background allows me to communicate perfectly with European patients and deeply understand their expectations regarding the doctor-patient relationship.
Do you accept patients traveling from abroad (Medical Tourism)?
Absolutely. Istanbul is a global hub for IVF. Our dedicated logistics team takes care of your airport transfers, accommodation, and organization so you can focus 100% on your treatment.
Does your clinic perform egg or sperm donation?
No. In strict accordance with Turkish legislation, all treatments (IVF, ICSI, IUI) must be performed exclusively using the gametes (eggs and sperm) of legally married couples. Donation is strictly prohibited in Turkey.
How long does IVF treatment in Turkey take?
Most IVF cycles — from starting medication to embryo transfer — last about 2–3 weeks. If you’re traveling from abroad, we can adjust your schedule to reduce time away from home without compromising results.
