M.D. Senem Almaç Deniz

My 4-year-old son, Leo, had been struggling with recurrent ear infections for over a year. Multiple antibiotics, sleepless nights—we were exhausted. Dr. Senem was our last hope before considering tubes. Instead of immediately jumping to surgery, she spent 45 minutes examining him with incredible patience, using child-friendly explanations and even showing him the tiny camera. She discovered a subtle adenoid issue contributing to the problem and proposed a conservative treatment plan first. Six months later, after following her precise regimen, Leo is infection-free and his hearing tests are perfect. Her approach saved him from an unnecessary procedure. We call her 'the ear whisperer' in our house.

I'm a 72-year-old retired teacher who developed sudden, debilitating vertigo that left me bedridden. My local clinic said it was 'just old age.' My daughter insisted I see Dr. Senem at Acibadem Atasehir. From the moment I entered her office, I felt heard. She didn't rush; she conducted a series of balance tests I'd never seen before, explaining each step in clear Turkish. She diagnosed a specific type of vestibular neuritis and created a tailored vestibular rehabilitation plan. She even called me personally two days later to check on my progress. Within three weeks, the spinning stopped. She gave me my independence back. Her combination of cutting-edge knowledge and old-fashioned compassionate care is rare.

This was no routine checkup. I'm a 30-year-old singer and I suddenly lost the top third of my vocal range after a severe flu. Panic doesn't describe it—my career was on the line. Dr. Senem Almaç Deniz performed a videostroboscopy, a procedure I'd never heard of, which showed minute scarring on my vocal folds. What impressed me most was her collaborative approach. She consulted with a voice therapist she works with and designed a recovery plan that involved silent periods, specific steam inhalations, and gradual exercises. She treated me not just as a patient with inflamed tissue, but as a vocal artist. After 8 weeks of meticulous follow-ups, my voice returned, stronger than before. She saved my instrument.

My husband came home from a weekend hiking trip unable to breathe through his nose at all, with severe facial pain. It was a Sunday evening. As an emergency case at Acibadem Atasehir, we were seen by Dr. Senem. She identified a complicated acute sinusitis that was beginning to cause orbital pressure. She explained the urgency without causing alarm and performed a minimally invasive endoscopic sinus drainage the very next morning. Her skill was evident, but her post-op care was what stunned us. She visited him three times that day, personally adjusted his medication for pain management, and provided her direct line for questions. The follow-up has been meticulous. From crisis to resolution, her command of the situation and genuine empathy made a terrifying experience manageable.
