Medical Park Maltepe Reviews

A 72-year-old retired shipyard welder with 50 years of occupational exposure presented with progressive shortness of breath. Instead of typical pneumoconiosis, Dr. Soylu diagnosed a rare combination of metal fume fever sequelae and early-stage pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis. The treatment plan included specialized pulmonary rehabilitation and environmental controls, significantly improving quality of life despite the irreversible nature of some changes.

A 19-year-old university exchange student from Central Asia developed sudden respiratory distress after moving to Istanbul. Dr. Soylu identified altitude sickness reversal syndrome, her body struggling to adapt to sea level after lifelong high-altitude living. Treatment involved gradual acclimatization protocols and temporary oxygen supplementation, with full recovery achieved in six weeks.

A 41-year-old professional ney flute player presented with deteriorating lung capacity affecting his performances. Dr. Soylu discovered diaphragmatic breathing pattern dysfunction from years of circular breathing techniques. Therapy involved retraining respiratory muscles with a specialized physiotherapist, restoring his musical career within four months.

A 34-year-old pregnant woman in her third trimester developed unexplained pleural effusions. Dr. Soylu diagnosed a rare pregnancy-associated chylothorax related to lymphatic compression. He coordinated with obstetricians for a carefully timed thoracentesis after delivery, resulting in complete resolution without compromising the healthy birth.

A 22-year-old competitive video gamer developed recurrent pneumonia episodes. Investigation revealed respiratory muscle atrophy from extreme sedentary lifestyle compounded by rare primary ciliary dyskinesia. Treatment involved aggressive pulmonary physical therapy and activity modification, with dramatic improvement in six months.

A 67-year-old grandmother who survived childhood tuberculosis presented with worsening fibrosis. Dr. Soylu identified reactivation of dormant lesions accelerated by recent COVID-19 infection. He initiated a carefully monitored combination therapy that stabilized her condition, allowing her to continue caring for her grandchildren.

A 31-year-old vegan marathon runner developed exercise-induced bronchoconstriction that didn't respond to standard treatments. Dr. Soylu discovered it was related to iron-deficiency anemia affecting oxygen transport, not airway inflammation. Iron supplementation and dietary adjustments resolved symptoms completely within ten weeks.

A 45-year-old deep-sea fisherman presented with recurrent episodes of 'the bends' despite following decompression tables. Dr. Soylu identified an undiagnosed patent foramen ovale allowing paradoxical gas embolism. After cardiology consultation and closure procedure, the patient returned to work with modified diving protocols.

An 83-year-old retired calligraphy master with Parkinson's disease developed silent aspiration pneumonia. Dr. Soylu implemented a multidisciplinary approach including speech therapy, modified swallowing techniques, and positional strategies that prevented recurrence for over a year.

A 26-year-old professional glassblower presented with worsening shortness of breath. Diagnosis revealed a rare combination of silica exposure and hot air inhalation injury causing tracheobronchial thermal damage. Treatment involved airway cooling techniques and protective equipment modifications, allowing continuation of his craft with precautions.

A 50-year-old immigrant construction worker with limited Turkish proficiency presented with chronic cough. Through careful history and a translator, Dr. Soylu discovered exposure to novel imported building materials causing hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Removal from exposure and temporary steroid treatment led to full recovery.

A 37-year-old mother of three developed persistent cough after a house fire. While initially treated for smoke inhalation, Dr. Soylu identified rare thermoplastic fume-induced bronchiolitis obliterans. Early aggressive anti-inflammatory treatment prevented progression to permanent lung damage.

A 29-year-old historical document restorer developed mysterious respiratory symptoms. Dr. Soylu diagnosed mold spore hypersensitivity from centuries-old manuscripts, combined with a rare reaction to conservation chemicals. Environmental controls and immunotherapy allowed return to specialized work.

As a professional oud player, I was devastated when a chronic sinus infection began affecting my ability to distinguish microtonal notes. Dr. Ogurlu didn't just treat my sinuses, he collaborated with me to understand how nasal physiology impacted sound perception. His endoscopic procedure restored both my breathing and my musical precision. At my follow-up, he even asked me to demonstrate the recovered tonal range.

Our 8-year-old daughter, born with Treacher Collins syndrome, had severe tracheal stenosis that multiple surgeons deemed too risky to address. Dr. Ogurlu developed a novel staged reconstruction using 3D-printed tracheal scaffolds. The seven-month process required immense patience, but he guided us through each milestone. Today, she breathes without her trach tube for the first time in her life.

I'm a marine archaeologist who developed recurring ear barotrauma from deep diving expeditions. Conventional treatments failed because they didn't account for my extreme pressure exposures. Dr. Ogurlu designed custom Eustachian tube rehabilitation exercises mimicking depth changes. His innovative approach combined surgical precision with occupational adaptation, I'm now diving safely at 40-meter depths.

During a humanitarian mission in rural Anatolia, I suffered a complex nasal fracture from an accident. Local clinics couldn't handle the damage. Dr. Ogurlu arranged emergency transport and performed reconstruction at midnight using cartilage grafts from my septum. What amazed me was his follow-up: he coordinated with telemedicine providers in my remote location for wound care.

My 94-year-old grandmother with dementia developed a life-threatening esophageal foreign body obstruction. Other doctors hesitated due to her age and cognitive state. Dr. Ogurlu performed a gentle endoscopic removal while continuously monitoring her neurological responses. His team created a dementia-friendly recovery environment with familiar sounds and textures that kept her calm throughout.

As a competitive freediver, I developed perilymphatic fistulas that ended my career. Dr. Ogurlu's diagnosis revealed a previously undetected congenital inner ear anomaly. His microsurgical repair used fibrin sealants instead of traditional packing, preserving delicate structures. Nine months later, I not only returned to freediving but set a personal depth record.

A 28-year-old competitive freediver from Antalya presented with recurrent episodes of transient neurological deficits during deep dives. Dr. Onen diagnosed a rare form of venous sinus stenosis exacerbated by pressure changes. Instead of traditional stenting, he pioneered a custom pressure-regulated shunt procedure. The patient returned to competitive diving within 9 months, now holding a national depth record.
