Prof. M.D. Sertaç Arslan Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired deep-sea diver, I'd lived with a persistent 'diver's cough' for decades that other specialists dismissed as occupational hazard. Dr. Arslan was the first to connect my unique history of breathing mixed gases under pressure to a rare form of bronchiolitis. His targeted treatment plan, including specialized respiratory physiotherapy he designed himself, has given me my first clear-breathing year since the 1980s.

My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive synchronized swimmer, began having unexplained breath-holding episodes during routines. Pediatricians found nothing wrong. Dr. Arslan identified exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction triggered by specific breath-control patterns. He collaborated with her coach to modify her technique. She just won her regional championship, breathing effortlessly throughout her performance.

I'm a 34-year-old glassblower. When fine silica dust began causing severe pulmonary reactions that threatened my livelihood, Dr. Arslan didn't just treat the inflammation. He visited my studio, analyzed my ventilation system, and designed a custom air-filtration mask that allows me to continue my centuries-old craft safely. He saved both my health and my artistic career.

During a routine trek in Nepal, my 58-year-old husband developed sudden high-altitude pulmonary edema. Medevaced to Istanbul, Dr. Arslan managed his critical condition with remarkable calmness. What stood out was his follow-up: he created a personalized altitude acclimatization plan so we could safely complete our dream Annapurna Circuit trek six months later.
