M.D. Hakki Süha Özçelik Reviews

A 17-year-old competitive freediver from Antalya presented with recurrent barotrauma and persistent ear fullness after deep dives. Dr. Özçelik discovered a previously undiagnosed patulous Eustachian tube through specialized pressure testing. Instead of surgery, he designed a custom nasal irrigation and pressure-equalization exercise regimen. The patient returned to competition within six weeks, setting a new personal depth record.

A 78-year-old retired calligraphy master from Konya experienced sudden sensorineural hearing loss in his left ear, which threatened his ability to hear the subtle scratch of his pens. Dr. Özçelik initiated intratympanic steroid injections within 24 hours of onset, combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Partial hearing returned, allowing the patient to continue teaching his craft to grandchildren.

A 32-year-old Syrian refugee and textile worker developed chronic fungal sinusitis from mold exposure in her temporary housing. Language barriers complicated care until Dr. Özçelik used a translation app she'd developed for medical terms. Treatment involved endoscopic sinus debridement followed by antifungal nasal washes made from available local ingredients. She regained smell after three months.

A 5-year-old autistic child with severe noise sensitivity and recurrent tonsillitis couldn't tolerate standard ENT exams. Dr. Özçelik collaborated with the hospital's child life specialist to create a 'space explorer' game where examination tools became 'alien detectors'. The child eventually allowed a successful tonsillectomy, with post-op recovery including noise-canceling headphones designed like astronaut gear.
