Assoc. Prof. M.D. Aras Şenvar Reviews

My 82-year-old father, who has Parkinson's, developed a sudden, terrifying inability to swallow. We rushed to Acibadem International, fearing the worst. Dr. Şenvar was a calm port in the storm. He didn't just look at the throat; he considered the whole neurological picture. His diagnosis of severe cricopharyngeal dysfunction was precise. The in-office balloon dilation he performed was minimally invasive, and he explained every step to my anxious father in simple, reassuring terms. Within hours, dad was sipping water. Dr. Şenvar's holistic, patient-centric approach with the elderly is nothing short of masterful.

Our 5-year-old daughter had recurrent tonsillitis that made her miserable and missed school. We dreaded a tonsillectomy. Dr. Şenvar was phenomenal with her—he got down on her level, showed her cartoon diagrams of her 'tonsil soldiers' that needed to retire, and let her hold the tiny camera light. The surgery was scheduled perfectly, and his post-op care instructions were crystal clear, even including a 'popsicle prescription.' Her recovery was smoother than we imagined. He treats children not as small adults, but as unique little people who need extra care and creativity.

I'm a professional wind instrumentalist. Over months, I developed a mysterious, persistent unilateral tinnitus and a subtle but devastating loss of precision in my high register. Multiple ENTs found 'nothing wrong.' Dr. Şenvar was my last hope. He conducted the most thorough audiological and endoscopic exam I've ever had, spending over an hour. He identified a minute, previously undetected patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction exacerbated by my playing pressure. His treatment plan—a combination of targeted nasal drops and specific breathing exercises—was unconventional but tailored. My tinnitus is 90% gone, and my embouchure is returning. He saved my career by listening to the nuances.

I presented as an emergency with a severe peritonsillar abscess—my throat was completely closed, I couldn't swallow saliva, and I was in agonizing pain. The on-call team paged Dr. Şenvar late at night. He was there in 20 minutes. The procedure to drain it was urgent and intense, but his hands were steady and his demeanor was fiercely focused yet calming. He talked me through the pressure and relief. The follow-up was meticulous; he personally checked on me for three days straight, adjusting antibiotics as needed. He turned a potentially life-threatening crisis into a managed recovery. This wasn't just treatment; it was rescue.
