M.D. Seyfettin Aslan

As a 72-year-old retired opera singer, I feared my performing days were over when a persistent vocal tremor developed. Dr. Aslan discovered a rare neuromuscular laryngeal condition unrelated to my age. His delicate microsurgery, which he described as 'recalibrating the strings of a precious instrument,' restored my vocal control completely. I sang an aria in his office two months post-op.

My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive swimmer, developed severe recurrent ear infections that resisted all standard treatments. Dr. Aslan identified a unique anatomical variation in her eustachian tubes exacerbated by pool pressure. His custom surgical approach and specialized post-op diving protocol allowed her to return to nationals within a season, infection-free.

During a business trip to Istanbul, I suffered a sudden, catastrophic nasal hemorrhage from a previously undiagnosed vascular anomaly. Rushed to Acıbadem Kartal's ER at 3 AM, Dr. Aslan performed emergency embolization. His calm explanation to my panicked family via video call from the OR, while simultaneously managing the crisis, saved my life and preserved my sense of smell.

As a 45-year-old perfume chemist, my livelihood depended on my olfactory precision. After a mild COVID infection, I developed severe parosmia—everything smelled like rotting chemicals. Dr. Aslan's innovative 'olfactory physical therapy' regimen, combining topical neural treatments and structured scent retraining over six months, restored 95% of my discrimination ability.
