Patient Experience
My 82-year-old father had completely lost his sense of smell for three years and was struggling with chronic sinusitis that multiple doctors couldn't resolve. Dr. Mehmet Sait didn't just prescribe another round of antibiotics, he spent 40 minutes explaining the anatomy of aging sinuses using a 3D model from his computer. He performed a delicate endoscopic surgery that my father tolerated surprisingly well. Two weeks later, my father cried when he could smell coffee brewing for the first time since 2020. The follow-up care was meticulous, with Dr. Gunerigok personally calling to check on him twice. This wasn't just treatment; it was restoring a fundamental joy of life.
Our 4-year-old daughter had recurring ear infections that affected her speech development and made her miserable. Previous ENTs just kept inserting grommets that would fall out. Dr. Mehmet Sait approached it completely differently, he examined her adenoids and discovered they were the root cause. Instead of immediate surgery, he created a 6-month conservative treatment plan involving nasal sprays and positional therapy. When surgery became necessary, he used a new laser-assisted technique that minimized bleeding. What impressed us most was how he interacted with our terrified child, he showed her cartoon videos of 'ear adventures' and let her hold the otoscope. Six months post-op, she's infection-free and her preschool teacher says her language has exploded.
I came to Medical Park Bursa at 11 PM with a fishbone lodged in my throat after a restaurant dinner. The emergency ENT on duty was overwhelmed, but Dr. Mehmet Sait happened to be finishing paperwork and took my case. Instead of the painful rigid endoscopy I expected, he used a flexible fiberoptic scope through my nose with topical anesthesia, barely uncomfortable. He located the bone in a tricky spot near my pyriform sinus and removed it in under two minutes. But here's what made it extraordinary: he then spent 20 minutes explaining why certain fish bones get stuck in certain anatomical variations, drew me a diagram, and gave me preventive tips. For an emergency visit, it felt like a masterclass in otolaryngology.
As a professional singer, my vocal cords are my livelihood. I developed a persistent hoarseness that wasn't responding to voice rest. Dr. Mehmet Sait conducted the most thorough laryngeal exam I've ever experienced, high-speed videostroboscopy that showed micro-vibrations I didn't know existed. He diagnosed early vocal fold scarring from improper technique, not just a simple nodule. His solution was revolutionary: he collaborated with a vocal coach he knows and designed a 3-month rehabilitation program combining microsurgery (which he performed with incredible precision) with specific vocal exercises. He even attended one of my rehearsals post-recovery. My range has actually improved beyond pre-injury levels. He treats artists like fellow professionals, not just patients.
