Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired opera singer, I feared my performing days were over when a persistent vocal tremor developed. Dr. Toprak diagnosed a rare neuromuscular laryngeal condition. His planned microsurgery was so precise that after recovery, I not only regained clear speech but hit a high C I hadn't reached in a decade. He saved my voice and my passion.
Our 8-year-old daughter, a competitive swimmer, kept getting severe ear infections that antibiotics couldn't resolve. Dr. Toprak discovered an unusual anatomical variation in her Eustachian tubes exacerbated by pool water. His custom ventilation tube procedure and preventive regimen allowed her to return to the pool championship-bound, infection-free for over a year now.
During a business trip to Istanbul, I (42M) experienced sudden, complete hearing loss in one ear. At Acibadem Fulya's ER, Dr. Toprak identified it as idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and began aggressive steroid treatment within the critical 48-hour window. His emergency protocol restored 90% of my hearing—a outcome he called 'exceptional' but we call 'miraculous'.
My 19-year-old son, born with Treacher Collins syndrome, had undergone multiple ENT surgeries abroad with mixed results. Dr. Toprak reviewed his complex case and proposed a novel staged reconstruction combining airway management with cosmetic auditory canal surgery. The outcome dramatically improved both his breathing and hearing, and for the first time, he feels confident without his hearing aid headband.
