As a 72-year-old retired opera singer, I feared my performing days were over when a rare granulomatous condition threatened my vocal cords. Dr. Atar didn't just see a medical case; he understood I was losing my life's passion. His innovative microsurgery technique, which he described as 'vocal cord sculpting,' restored not just function but the subtle timbre of my voice. Six months later, I performed a short aria at my granddaughter's wedding.
Our 8-year-old daughter, a competitive swimmer, developed exostoses in both ear canals from cold water exposure. Multiple doctors suggested waiting until she was older. Dr. Atar created a pediatric-specific surgical plan using smaller instruments and a special post-op ear mold that allowed her to return to training in weeks, not months. He even consulted with her swim coach about prevention. She just won her first regional championship.
I'm a 34-year-old scent designer who lost my sense of smell after a traumatic brain injury in a cycling accident. For two years, I couldn't work or enjoy life. Dr. Atar's approach was revolutionary—he treated it as a neurological-ENT crossover case, using olfactory training combined with a novel intranasal stimulation therapy. Yesterday, I correctly identified 36 out of 40 scent strips in his office. My career is reborn.
During a business trip to Istanbul, my 58-year-old husband developed a sudden, massive epistaxis that wouldn't stop. The emergency room at Acıbadem Maslak paged Dr. Atar at midnight. He performed an emergency embolization, then discovered and repaired an undiagnosed hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. His calm explanation to our terrified family over video call prevented panic. We now travel from Oslo annually for his check-ups.
