Patient Experience
I brought my 4-year-old daughter Elif to Dr. Tasli after three different pediatricians failed to diagnose her persistent nighttime snoring and mouth breathing. Within minutes of examining her, he identified severe adenoid hypertrophy that was affecting her sleep quality and facial development. He explained the procedure to us using simple drawings, which calmed both me and my daughter. The adenoidectomy was performed flawlessly at Medical Park Mersin - she was playing happily just hours after surgery. What impressed me most was his follow-up: he personally called two days later to check on her recovery. Her sleep is now silent and deep. We found not just a surgeon, but a true children's health advocate.
As a 72-year-old retired teacher with sudden unilateral hearing loss, I feared I'd never hear my grandchildren's voices clearly again. Dr. Hamdi Tasli approached my case with remarkable patience, ordering a comprehensive battery of tests that other ENTs had overlooked. He discovered a rare vascular loop compressing my auditory nerve. Rather than rushing to surgery, he first prescribed a tailored medical therapy, explaining every potential outcome with transparent honesty. When conservative treatment showed limited improvement, he performed a delicate microvascular decompression. The procedure restored 80% of my hearing. His combination of old-fashioned bedside manner and cutting-edge surgical skill is something I've never encountered in fifty years of being a patient.
This review comes from an emergency that became a life-changing experience. I arrived at Medical Park Mersin at midnight with a fish bone lodged deep in my throat after a restaurant dinner. The ER doctor couldn't remove it and called Dr. Tasli at home. He arrived within twenty minutes, calm and fully alert despite the hour. Using a flexible endoscope with incredible precision, he located the bone near my esophagus - a dangerous position. What could have been a traumatic experience felt strangely controlled under his guidance. He removed it without a single cut, then spent thirty minutes explaining how to prevent such incidents and what warning signs to watch for. Emergency care with educational aftercare - that's Dr. Tasli.
My case was neither simple nor routine: a recurrent inverted papilloma in my maxillary sinus with suspicious changes on MRI. Three surgeons had given me conflicting opinions ranging from 'just monitor it' to 'radical resection.' Dr. Tasli reviewed all my scans and previous biopsy slides himself, then proposed a middle path - endoscopic medial maxillectomy using navigation-guided surgery to preserve healthy tissue. He drew me a detailed map of the surgical approach and possible outcomes, including the 5% chance of recurrence. The six-hour surgery was successful, and the pathology confirmed his suspicion of early cellular changes. At my one-year follow-up last week, he showed me comparative endoscopic images proving clear sinuses. His ability to balance aggressive treatment with organ preservation is extraordinary.
