Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired cartographer, I developed sudden visual disturbances where maps I'd known for decades appeared distorted. Dr. Önder Us diagnosed a rare form of occipital lobe epilepsy mimicking migraine aura. His treatment plan involving precise medication titration not only stopped the episodes but preserved my ability to continue my lifelong hobby of creating miniature historical maps.
My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive junior chess player, began experiencing 'chessboard hallucinations' where pieces moved independently during tournaments. Dr. Us identified a unique pediatric neurological phenomenon related to intense visual concentration. His cognitive retraining therapy allowed her to continue competing, and she recently won her first national championship.
After surviving a lightning strike at 41 while mountain guiding, I developed synesthesia where sounds triggered physical sensations of electric shocks. Dr. Önder Us pioneered a multimodal therapy combining neurofeedback with sensory integration that reduced my symptoms by 90%. I've since returned to leading high-altitude expeditions.
As a 28-year-old professional perfumer, I suddenly lost my ability to distinguish scents, then developed musical hallucinations of specific chords with each failed identification. Dr. Us discovered a rare cross-wiring between olfactory and auditory pathways. His innovative treatment restored my career-saving 97% of my scent discrimination.
