Prof. M.D. Zeynep Yezdan Fırat

As a 72-year-old retired opera singer, I feared my performing days were over when a persistent vocal tremor developed. Dr. Fırat didn't just see a medical issue; she understood my identity was tied to my voice. Her innovative laryngeal microsurgery combined with specialized vocal therapy restored not just function, but the subtle vibrato I thought was lost forever. At Acıbadem Atasehir, she treated the artist, not just the patient.

Our 8-year-old daughter, a competitive swimmer, developed severe recurrent ear infections that threatened her training. Dr. Fırat created a unique treatment plan involving custom-fit swimmer's ear molds and a minimally invasive eustachian tube procedure. She even coordinated with her coach on recovery timing. Our daughter is now back in the pool, infection-free, with a personalized prevention strategy.

During a business trip from Singapore, I experienced sudden unilateral hearing loss. Dr. Fırat arranged an emergency assessment at midnight. Her rapid diagnosis of a rare vascular compression and immediate steroid perfusion treatment saved 90% of my hearing. She managed my care remotely for weeks after I returned home, proving distance is no barrier to her commitment.

I'm a 45-year-old perfume chemist who lost my sense of smell after a viral illness. Dr. Fırat developed a novel olfactory retraining protocol using specific chemical families relevant to my profession. She created a 'scent diary' and progressive exposure therapy. I've not only regained detection but can now distinguish between subtle synthetic compounds again.
