As a 72-year-old with chronic vertigo...
Aug 06, 2025

As a 72-year-old with chronic vertigo that five other ENTs couldn't resolve, I was desperate. Dr. Varnalı at Acibadem Bakirkoy didn't just prescribe pills—he spent an hour mapping my inner ear history back to a childhood swimming accident. His 'balance recalibration' exercises felt silly at first, but after three months, I can walk to the market without clinging to walls. He treats the person, not just the chart.

Aug 08, 2025

Our 4-year-old swallowed a small toy battery. The ER at Acibadem Bakirkoy paged Dr. Varnalı at midnight. He arrived in casual clothes, calmed our panic with a story about 'retrieving treasure,' and performed an emergency laryngoscopy so gently our son didn't cry. Post-op, he drew a cartoon of the 'adventure' on his prescription pad. We left with a removed battery and a framed drawing.

Aug 28, 2025

I'm a professional voice actor. When a routine checkup revealed a precancerous lesion on my vocal cords, my career flashed before my eyes. Dr. Varnalı designed a microsurgery plan that felt like restoring a Stradivarius—using laser ablation to preserve every micron of healthy tissue. His post-op protocol included humming exercises he invented. Six months later, my vocal range is actually wider. He saved my instrument.

Aug 21, 2025

After a botched sinus surgery abroad left me with chronic facial pain and anosmia, I was a complex revision case. Dr. Varnalı's team at Acibadem Bakirkoy used 3D endoscopic navigation to untangle the scar tissue like a bomb squad. During follow-ups, he noticed my depression about losing smell and connected me with a neurologist specializing in olfactory retraining. He fights for all your senses, not just the obvious ones.
