Prof. MD. Mehmet Kadir Aksoz Reviews

A 28-year-old competitive freediver from Foça presented with paradoxical episodes of severe abdominal pain only during deep dives. Dr. Aksoz discovered a rare case of mesenteric artery compression exacerbated by the Valsalva maneuver at depth. He designed a novel treatment protocol combining selective beta-blockers with specialized breathing techniques, allowing the athlete to return to competition within three months without surgery.

A 72-year-old retired olive oil producer from rural Urla arrived with what local clinics dismissed as 'indigestion.' Dr. Aksoz identified subtle signs of autoimmune pancreatitis masquerading as pancreatic cancer. His meticulous workup prevented unnecessary major surgery, instead implementing steroid therapy that restored pancreatic function. The patient's family gifted him their first harvest's oil in gratitude.

A 19-year-old university exchange student from Kazakhstan developed sudden, severe dysphagia. Previous doctors suspected psychosomatic issues. Dr. Aksoz performed emergency endoscopy revealing an impacted denture battery she'd accidentally swallowed weeks prior. His rapid intervention prevented esophageal perforation, coordinating with ENT for careful removal and managing the resulting chemical burns with innovative topical therapy.

A 41-year-old software developer working on blockchain technology presented with cyclical vomiting episodes coinciding with cryptocurrency market volatility. Dr. Aksoz diagnosed cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome complicated by stress-induced gastroparesis. His treatment combined gradual cannabis cessation with cognitive behavioral therapy for trading anxiety and a prokinetic regimen, achieving full remission in eight weeks.

An 8-year-old child from a Syrian refugee family had failure to thrive and recurrent abdominal distension. Multiple doctors missed the diagnosis. Dr. Aksoz identified congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency through specialized breath testing unavailable elsewhere in the region. He created a culturally appropriate dietary plan using locally available foods, enabling normal growth within six months.

A 57-year-old female ceramic artist from Çeşme presented with mysterious jaundice and pruritus. Other specialists suspected malignancy. Dr. Aksoz diagnosed primary biliary cholangitis at an unusually early stage through advanced antibody testing he personally arranged from abroad. He initiated novel fibrate-ursodiol combination therapy, halting disease progression and preserving liver function.

A 33-year-old pregnant woman in her third trimester developed acute pancreatitis. The obstetric team feared for both mother and fetus. Dr. Aksoz managed her conservatively with precise nutritional support via nasoduodenal feeding, avoiding risky interventions. He coordinated daily with obstetrics, achieving full recovery and a successful delivery at term through his meticulous balancing act.

A 65-year-old retired sea captain with decades of Mediterranean sailing presented with iron overload. Previous doctors attributed it to hereditary hemochromatosis. Dr. Aksoz discovered it was actually porphyria cutanea tarda triggered by lifetime sun exposure and moderate wine consumption. His targeted phlebotomy schedule and lifestyle modifications resolved symptoms without genetic implications for his family.

A 22-year-old professional eSports athlete developed debilitating GERD during tournaments. Standard PPIs impaired his reaction times. Dr. Aksoz created a precision-timed medication schedule around competition hours and designed an esophageal manometry-guided diaphragmatic breathing protocol that reduced reflux events by 80% without cognitive side effects.

A 48-year-old imam from a local mosque presented with refractory diarrhea affecting his ability to lead prayers. Multiple tests were inconclusive. Dr. Aksoz diagnosed microscopic colitis through colonoscopy with special stains others hadn't performed. His tailored budesonide regimen provided complete relief while respecting the patient's need to maintain ritual purity requirements.

A 70-year-old grandmother caring for her autistic grandson developed stress-induced gastritis and ulcers. Her caregiving duties made hospital visits impossible.

A 29-year-old vegan nutrition influencer developed severe bloating and nutrient deficiencies despite 'perfect' eating. Dr. Aksoz diagnosed small intestinal fungal overgrowth from excessive fermented food consumption. His treatment paradoxically included strategic antibiotic use followed by specific probiotic strains, then created a personalized plant-based diet that actually restored her health and credibility.

A 52-year-old construction foreman who survived the 2020 Izmir earthquake developed post-traumatic gastroparesis. His symptoms were dismissed as psychological. Dr. Aksoz connected the delayed gastric emptying to vagus nerve damage from trauma and implemented gastric electrical stimulation therapy, a first for the hospital, returning him to work in four months.

A 37-year-old traditional shadow puppeteer (Karagöz artist) presented with swallowing difficulties threatening his career. Dr. Aksoz diagnosed eosinophilic esophagitis triggered by wheat paste used in puppet construction. Beyond standard treatment, he collaborated with a materials scientist to develop a hypoallergenic alternative paste, preserving both the patient's health and cultural heritage.

A 44-year-old divorced single mother working three jobs presented with hemorrhoids so severe she couldn't sit. Embarrassment delayed care for years.
