Assoc. Prof. MD. Osman Fatih Boztepe

I'm a 72-year-old retired teacher who had completely lost my sense of smell for over a year. Multiple doctors told me it was just aging. Dr. Boztepe actually listened to my story about how I missed the scent of rain and my wife's cooking. He ordered specific imaging others hadn't considered and discovered a small but treatable nasal polyp obstruction. His endoscopic procedure was painless, and two weeks later, I cried when I smelled coffee brewing for the first time in ages. He didn't just treat a symptom; he restored a fundamental joy of life. His patience with my questions was remarkable.

Our 4-year-old daughter had recurrent tonsillitis every month, missing preschool constantly. We were terrified of surgery. Dr. Boztepe was incredible, he got down on her level, showed her cartoon pictures of 'tonsil castles,' and made her laugh. He never pressured us; instead, he presented clear data on her quality of life. The pediatric anesthesiologist he works with was equally gentle. Post-tonsillectomy, he personally called us that evening to check in. Our daughter now sleeps peacefully and hasn't been sick once in six months. He handled a scared child and anxious parents with supreme skill.

This was a genuine emergency. I'm a tour guide, and while leading a group, I suffered a sudden, severe nosebleed that wouldn't stop after 45 minutes of pressure. I rushed to Medical Park Antalya. Dr. Boztepe was consulted and took me immediately. Calmly and efficiently, in what seemed like a chaotic moment to me, he identified a posterior epistaxis source. He performed cauterization with such precision it was over quickly. What stood out was his explanation afterward; he mapped out my blood vessels on a diagram, showed me the weak spot, and gave me concrete prevention strategies. He turned a traumatic event into a learning experience.

As a professional wind instrumentalist, my livelihood depends on perfect sinus and nasal function. I came for a routine checkup with a vague feeling of 'congestion' others dismissed. Dr. Boztepe, understanding my profession's unique demands, conducted a thorough videonasolaryngoscopy. He discovered a subtle deviated septum and early-stage sinus inflammation that was affecting my air column control. He devised a conservative, non-surgical management plan involving specific nasal irrigation and minimal medication. My performance quality has improved dramatically. He treats the patient's life context, not just the ENT chart.
