M.D. Dilek Sınmaz Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired opera singer, I thought my performing days were over when chronic laryngitis and vocal nodules stole my voice. Dr. Sınmaz didn't just see a medical condition—she understood my identity was tied to my voice. Her precise microsurgery and customized vocal therapy restored not just function but my ability to hit high C again. She gave me back my art.

Our 8-year-old daughter had such severe obstructive sleep apnea from enlarged adenoids that she was falling asleep in class and her grades were plummeting. Dr. Sınmaz's gentle approach with children was remarkable—she used puppet demonstrations to explain the procedure. Post-surgery, our daughter sleeps peacefully, her energy has returned, and she's thriving academically. It changed her childhood.

I'm a 45-year-old competitive freediver who developed barotrauma and persistent Eustachian tube dysfunction after a deep dive. Multiple ENTs told me to quit diving. Dr. Sınmaz, understanding the athletic context, developed a novel pressure-equalization regimen and performed precise tuboplasty. I recently set a personal depth record—pain-free. She treats athletes differently.

During a family vacation in İzmir, my 3-year-old son swallowed a small toy piece that lodged in his nasal passage. In the Kent Medical Center emergency room at midnight, Dr. Sınmaz calmly extracted the object without general anesthesia using specialized pediatric instruments I'd never seen before. Her emergency bedside manner kept our whole family calm during the crisis.
