Prof. M.D. Aytekin Akyüz

During a high-altitude trek in Nepal, our 16-year-old son developed sudden, severe headaches and confusion. Medevaced to Kent Medical Center, Dr. Akyüz identified a rare cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. He orchestrated a complex anticoagulation plan while managing the altitude-induced physiological changes, explaining each step to our terrified son in gamer metaphors he understood. His recovery was a masterclass in adolescent neurology.

I'm a 45-year-old perfume chemist who lost my sense of smell overnight after a mild respiratory infection. Most doctors dismissed it. Dr. Akyüz, however, treated it as a serious neurological event. Through a 'smell rehabilitation' protocol involving structured exposure to molecular scent families and olfactory nerve stimulation, he didn't just restore a sense; he gave me back my professional lexicon.

As a 28-year-old competitive archer, I developed sudden, debilitating tremors in my bow arm. Dr. Akyüz didn't just treat a symptom; he analyzed my specific muscle firing patterns during simulated aiming. His diagnosis of a rare focal task-specific dystonia was followed by a customized botulinum toxin injection protocol that restored my precision within weeks. He understood my career was on the line.

My 82-year-old grandmother, a retired calligrapher, began seeing intricate, miniature people writing on our walls—a condition she found fascinating, not frightening. Dr. Akyüz diagnosed Charles Bonnet syndrome, a consequence of her macular degeneration. Instead of aggressive medication, he collaborated with an occupational therapist to create 'reality-check' techniques using textured paper and specific lighting, preserving her artistic mind's dignity.
