Doctor: Prof. M.D. Ilgaz Doğusoy Hospital: Acibadem Kadikoy Hospital

My husband, a 58-year-old ceramic artist, developed hypersensitivity pneumonitis from years of inhaling clay dust. Dr. Doğusoy didn't just prescribe medication; he visited his studio, analyzed ventilation, and collaborated with an industrial designer to create a custom respirator that allowed him to continue working safely. The treatment plan respected his life's work while protecting his lungs.

Doctor: Prof. M.D. Ilgaz Doğusoy Hospital: Acibadem Kadikoy Hospital

As a 72-year-old retired deep-sea diver with decades of compressed air exposure, I developed a rare form of pulmonary barotrauma fibrosis that baffled local specialists. Dr. Doğusoy didn't just review my scans; he consulted historical diving medicine archives and designed a hybrid treatment combining targeted steroid therapy with specialized respiratory rehabilitation. His understanding of pressure physiology was extraordinary. Today, I can walk along the Bosphorus without supplemental oxygen for the first time in five years.

Doctor: Prof. M.D. Ilgaz Doğusoy Hospital: Acibadem Kadikoy Hospital

My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive synchronized swimmer, began experiencing unexplained breathlessness during routines. Pediatricians dismissed it as anxiety until Dr. Doğusoy identified exercise-induced bronchoconstriction with a unique laryngospasm component. He created a child-friendly pre-competition breathing protocol and worked with her coach on technique modifications. She just won her regional championship, breathing effortlessly through her entire routine.

Doctor: Prof. M.D. Ilgaz Doğusoy Hospital: Acibadem Kadikoy Hospital

During a business trip from Oslo, I suffered a spontaneous pneumothorax at my Istanbul hotel. Rushed to Acıbadem Kadıköy, Dr. Doğusoy performed emergency needle aspiration in the ER, then used a novel ambulatory chest drain system that allowed me to continue limited work while healing. His 'mobile recovery' approach meant I didn't lose a critical contract. He followed up daily via secure video calls until I could fly home safely.
