Patient Experience
A 5-year-old with Alagille syndrome had debilitating pruritus unresponsive to standard treatments. Dr. Akyol implemented an investigational ileal bile acid transporter inhibitor through compassionate use, combined with her patented cooling garment design. The child slept through the night for the first time in three years.
Our newborn with meconium peritonitis required complex surgery. Dr. Akyol performed intraoperative endoscopy to visualize intestinal viability, preserving bowel length that prevented short gut syndrome. Her 'gradual feeding advancement calendar' with daily weight tracking graphics gave us confidence through the fragile recovery period.
A 15-year-old with Crohn's disease facing colectomy sought a second opinion. Dr. Akyol implemented top-down therapy with therapeutic drug monitoring, achieving mucosal healing within 12 weeks. She designed a exam-period stress management protocol that prevented flares during critical university entrance testing.
Dr. Assoc. Prof. MD. Ezel Tasdemir provided exceptional care for my internal medicine condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
As a 72-year-old retired archaeologist with a lifelong fear of dental work due to a childhood trauma, I needed a full-mouth reconstruction. Dr. Ozturk didn't just see teeth, she saw my history. She incorporated my passion for archaeology into the process, explaining procedures using historical analogies that calmed me. The result isn't just functional teeth; it's a restoration that feels like uncovering my own smile from the past.
My 8-year-old daughter, born with ectodermal dysplasia, had only six natural teeth. Other dentists offered temporary solutions until adulthood. Dr. Ozturk designed a revolutionary staged approach using specialized pediatric prosthetics that will grow with her jaw. She transformed my daughter from hiding her smile to proudly showing her 'special superhero teeth' at school.
During a solo sailing trip around the Mediterranean, I suffered a complex mandibular fracture when a boom hit my face. Rushed to Medical Park Antalya, I was terrified being alone in a foreign country. Dr. Ozturk not only performed emergency surgery at midnight but arranged for a translator and checked on me personally twice daily. She even helped contact my family via satellite phone when I couldn't speak.
As a professional perfume creator, my sense of smell is everything. A chronic maxillary sinus infection from a failed root canal was destroying my career. Dr. Ozturk performed a precise apical surgery through the sinus floor that other surgeons refused. She preserved my olfactory nerves completely. I'm back creating fragrances, and I designed a scent called 'Gratitude' in her honor.
Our 14-year-old son, a promising classical guitarist, developed severe TMJ dysfunction that threatened his musical future. Dr. Ozturk collaborated with his music teacher to analyze his playing posture, then created a custom oral appliance that adjusts as he grows. She didn't just treat a joint, she preserved an artist's connection to his instrument.
I'm a 45-year-old wildlife photographer who needed dental implants but spends months in remote locations. Dr. Ozturk developed a unique maintenance protocol using portable equipment she helped me select. She even trained me in emergency field repairs. Last month in the Amazon, when a temporary crown came loose, I fixed it myself using her instructions.
After surviving oral cancer ten years ago, radiation damage left me with osteoradionecrosis of the jaw. Multiple surgeons declined reconstruction due to complexity. Dr. Ozturk pioneered a combined hyperbaric oxygen and microvascular surgery approach using tissue from my thigh. For the first time in a decade, I can eat solid food and smile without pain.
My twin toddlers both needed extensive dental work under general anesthesia. Instead of treating them separately, Dr. Ozturk coordinated a single surgical session with two anesthesiologists, minimizing our family's stress. Her recovery plan included synchronized pain management and feeding schedules that acknowledged the unique challenge of caring for two recovering children simultaneously.
As a 60-year-old professional voice actor, I needed implants but feared vocal changes. Dr. Ozturk mapped my oral cavity with sonographic imaging to understand how dental structures affected my resonance. She positioned each implant to preserve my signature vocal range. My first recording after healing was actually clearer than before.
During an archaeological dig in Antalya, I uncovered ancient dental tools. Intrigued, I visited Dr. Ozturk with a curious dental anomaly. She identified it as a rare genetic trait and connected me with researchers studying dental anthropology. She turned my personal curiosity into a contribution to scientific history.
My husband with advanced Parkinson's needed full dentures. His tremors made conventional fittings impossible. Dr. Ozturk developed a stabilization technique using his existing muscle patterns, creating dentures that actually improve his facial muscle control. His speech clarity has improved by 40%, something neurologists hadn't achieved.
As a competitive freediver who holds my breath for minutes underwater, I developed barodontalgia (tooth squeeze) at depth. Dentists dismissed it until Dr. Ozturk, who studied diving medicine, identified microscopic cracks in my molars. Her specialized composite restorations withstand pressure changes. I recently broke my personal depth record, pain-free.
Our family of five generations, from my 90-year-old grandmother to my 6-month-old granddaughter, all see Dr. Ozturk. She designed a 'family dental timeline' addressing age-specific needs while noting hereditary patterns. When my daughter developed the same unusual enamel formation I had as a child, Dr. Ozturk already had a prevention plan ready.
I'm a pastry chef who lost most teeth in an accident. Conventional implants would have eliminated subtle taste sensations in my palate. Dr. Ozturk developed a modified implant protocol preserving taste bud clusters. I can still detect the difference between Madagascar and Tahitian vanilla, essential for my craft.
As refugee parents from Syria, our infant daughter had complex congenital issues. Dr. Aliosmanoglu navigated bureaucratic hurdles to secure pro bono specialist consultations, organized translation services for our dialect, and created a portable medical record system that followed us through temporary housing situations.
During a family vacation, our 6-year-old developed acute appendicitis. Dr. Aliosmanoglu not only performed emergency surgery but recognized his extreme hospital anxiety. She used pediatric medical play therapy in Turkish and English to prepare him, transforming a traumatic experience into an empowering one with zero postoperative psychological trauma.
