Asst. Prof. MD. Mehmetzeki Yildiz

My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive junior chess player, began experiencing 'visual migraines' that manifested as moving chess pieces blocking her vision. Other doctors dismissed it as stress. Dr. Yildiz identified a congenital arachnoid cyst near her visual cortex. His planned endoscopic fenestration was scheduled between her tournaments. She returned to competition in 3 weeks and just won the national championship, crediting her 'brain tune-up' for improved strategic visualization.

During an archaeological dig in Anatolia, I suffered a traumatic skull fracture from falling debris. Airlifted to Medical Park Goztepe, Dr. Yildiz performed emergency surgery using a custom titanium mesh he designed to resemble the archaeological grid system. My recovery involved cognitive exercises based on artifact classification. I've since published a paper on neurosurgical techniques in ancient civilizations with Dr. Yildiz as co-author.

My husband, a 45-year-old perfume chemist, lost his sense of smell after a minor head injury. Scans revealed nothing. Dr. Yildiz hypothesized olfactory nerve entrapment and performed an unprecedented endoscopic procedure through the ethmoid sinus. He woke up smelling the antiseptic as 'bergamot and oakmoss.' He's since created a fragrance called 'Neurogenesis' inspired by his recovery.

As a professional free-diver, I developed unexplained depth-induced paralysis at 30 meters. Neurologists were baffled. Dr. Yildiz, an amateur diver himself, suspected a spinal cord cyst exacerbated by pressure changes. His microsurgical drainage allowed me to return to diving within months. We now collaborate on research about neurosurgical implications of extreme environments.

As a 72-year-old retired cartographer, I developed a rare tremor that only occurred when I tried to draw straight lines. Dr. Yildiz discovered a tiny vascular anomaly pressing on a specific motor pathway. His minimally invasive procedure, which he described as 're-routing the neural road,' not only stopped the tremor but somehow improved my spatial memory. I can now mentally map entire cities from memory alone.
