Prof. M.D. Dilaver Özturan Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired opera singer, I feared my performing days were over when a rare nasopharyngeal tumor threatened my vocal cords. Dr. Özturan at Acibadem Fulya didn't just see a medical case—he understood my artistic soul. His innovative endoscopic approach removed the growth while preserving my unique vocal timbre. Six months later, I performed a full aria at my granddaughter's wedding, every note clear and strong.

Our 8-year-old daughter, a competitive swimmer, developed severe recurrent ear infections that no antibiotic could resolve. Dr. Özturan discovered a congenital Eustachian tube abnormality exacerbated by pool water. His custom-designed ventilation tube procedure was a game-changer. She's now back in the pool, training for nationals, with specially fitted ear protection he helped design.

I'm a 34-year-old sound engineer who suddenly lost 70% hearing in my right ear overnight. In emergency at Acibadem Fulya, Dr. Özturan diagnosed sudden sensorineural hearing loss and began aggressive treatment within the critical window. His combination of intratympanic steroids and hyperbaric oxygen therapy restored my hearing to 95%—saving both my career and my ability to hear my newborn's first words.

My 58-year-old husband, a mountain guide, developed life-threatening epiglottitis during a remote expedition. Medevaced to Acibadem Fulya, Dr. Özturan performed an emergency awake tracheotomy when his airway completely obstructed. The precision saved his life without damaging his vocal cords. He's back guiding climbs, breathing easily at high altitudes, with a tiny scar he calls his 'second summit.'
