As a 72-year-old with chronic sinusitis that five other ENTs couldn't resolve, I'd lost hope. Dr. Ecem approached my case like a detective, ordering a specific CT scan others missed. She discovered a hidden anatomical anomaly and performed a precise endoscopic surgery at Acıbadem Kadıköy. For the first time in a decade, I can breathe through my nose properly. Her post-op care was meticulous—she even called me personally to check on my recovery. She treats elderly patients with remarkable respect and patience.

Our 4-year-old son developed sudden, severe ear pain at midnight. In panic, we rushed to Acıbadem Kadıköy's ER. Dr. Ecem Sevim Akı was on call and examined him with such gentleness—she used a cartoon otoscope attachment and let him 'examine' her stethoscope first. Diagnosing a severe acute otitis media, she explained everything to us in simple terms while calming our child. The emergency myringotomy she performed provided instant relief. She has a magical way with frightened children and anxious parents.

I'm a professional voice actor, and last month, I developed a persistent vocal cord lesion. This wasn't just a medical issue—it threatened my career. Dr. Ecem conducted the most thorough laryngoscopy I've ever experienced, then designed a conservative treatment plan combining precise microsurgery with specialized voice therapy referrals. She understood the professional stakes completely. At my follow-up yesterday, my vocal cords showed perfect healing. She doesn't just treat anatomy; she treats the person's life behind the condition.

What started as a routine tonsil check for my teenager revealed an asymmetrical palate movement. Dr. Ecem noticed this subtle sign everyone else missed and ordered an MRI 'just to be thorough.' It revealed a small, benign parapharyngeal space tumor requiring complex transoral robotic surgery. Her surgical skill at Acıbadem was extraordinary—minimal scarring, rapid recovery. But what truly stunned me was her holistic approach: she coordinated with a neurologist and physical therapist for comprehensive care. She sees what others overlook and connects dots no one else does.
