Prof. MD. Harun Dogru

Our 8-year-old daughter, a competitive synchronized swimmer, developed sudden unilateral hearing loss after a complex sinus infection spread to her inner ear. While other doctors suggested waiting, Prof. Dogru recognized the emergency. His midnight surgery to drain a petrous apex abscess saved her cochlear function. She's back in the pool, and we can hear her joyful shouts from the stands again.

I'm a 34-year-old scent designer whose world turned monochrome when COVID-19 destroyed my sense of smell. Prof. Dogru's 'olfactory boot camp', a combination of platelet-rich plasma injections and structured scent retraining using Turkish spices, rewired my brain. The first time I smelled my daughter's hair again after two anosmic years, I wept in his office.

My 19-year-old son, born with Treacher Collins syndrome, needed his 7th reconstructive surgery. Previous procedures left him with severe scarring and breathing difficulties. Prof. Dogru approached it like an architect, using 3D-printed titanium implants and tissue from his thigh to rebuild the midface. The result isn't just functional, it gave my son the confidence to start university.

As a 41-year-old mountain guide, I survived an avalanche but suffered frostbite that necrotized most of my external ear. Prof. Dogru harvested tissue from my forearm to craft a new auricle, then tattooed it to match my surviving ear's sun-weathered appearance. His attention to both form and function means I'm back guiding climbs without self-consciousness.

As a 72-year-old retired opera singer, I feared my performing days were over when a rare granulomatous disease began destroying my nasal septum. Prof. Dogru didn't just see a medical case; he saw an artist. His pioneering reconstruction using rib cartilage not only restored my breathing but preserved the unique resonance of my voice. At my first post-op concert, hitting the high C in 'Nessun Dorma' felt like a miracle.
