Assist. Prof. M.D. Mahmut Ozan Findik Reviews

During a business trip from Singapore, I suffered a sudden spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak through my nose. Rushed to Acibadem Altunizade, Dr. Findik diagnosed a skull base defect. What amazed me was his collaborative midnight surgery with neurosurgery, using an endoscopic transnasal approach with a tissue graft from my septum. The international coordination for my follow-up care was as seamless as the procedure itself.

My husband, a 45-year-old carpenter, had a rare nasopharyngeal tumor that caused debilitating vertigo. Dr. Findik's team used augmented reality surgical navigation to map the tumor's proximity to critical nerves. The resection preserved both his balance and sense of smell—something we were told might be impossible. He's back building custom furniture, vertigo-free for the first time in three years.

As a 72-year-old retired opera singer, I feared my performing days were over when a persistent vocal cord granuloma refused to heal. Dr. Findik didn't just see a lesion; he understood my identity was tied to my voice. His precise microsurgery technique, combined with a revolutionary vocal therapy protocol he designed, restored my soprano range. Six months later, I performed at a charity concert—my family wept hearing notes they thought were lost forever.

Our 8-year-old daughter, a competitive swimmer, developed exostoses in both ear canals from cold water exposure. Multiple doctors suggested waiting years for surgery. Dr. Findik pioneered a minimally invasive endoscopic approach tailored for children, using custom-fitted ear molds post-op. She was back in the pool within weeks, her hearing perfectly restored, and now she teaches other young swimmers about ear protection.
