He is the best in Antalya regarding the doctor. How many places have I gone to, how many doctors have I seen, what have I suffered for years? There are many doctors in Ankara, Istanbul and Antalya, none of them could even relieve me. May Allah be pleased with Mustafa, we found him on the ground while searching in the sky. I recommend him to everyone with Meniere's disease.
My wife had apnea and snoring problems, before Mustafa Hoca, other doctors said that about 5 different surgeries had to be done at once. We were worried and looked for another doctor, and after looking at the comments here, we trusted Mustafa Hoca. He said, “Thank you very much, about 3 months ago, that it would be enough to perform a closed nose surgery only, and that the apnea would go away on its own over time.” The surgery took 2.5 hours, my wife was discharged in the evening, there was no bruising or swelling on her face, she recovered within a week and returned to work. In the meantime, her snoring decreased a lot and the apnea disappeared. Thank you to our doctor. He is a very professional doctor, we recommend him to everyone.
My 2.5-year-old daughter could not breathe and her sleep was interrupted due to her adenoid problem. It was resolved in about 1 hour. Even right after the surgery, he started breathing very easily. Thank you so much, I'm glad to have you
We would like to thank our doctor and thank Ms. Ayşegül for her support before and after the surgery. I wish you a healthy day.
My teacher Mustafa came across it while researching on the internet. I had a unilateral parotid tumor, the other doctors I went to scared me so much, that's why I was avoiding surgery for two years. I read the comments of my teacher Mustafa and the fact that he operated on a patient like me made me more comfortable. I had surgery on March 7. I am very glad that I met my teacher Mustafa and came across him. May God bless him, I recommend him to everyone.
As a result of the hearing test performed at a Private Hospital I went to, I was told that I had hearing loss due to arthritis in my ear and that I needed to use a hearing aid. When I asked if there was another treatment for this, the answer given was that the only solution was hearing aids. This result did not satisfy me, so I wanted to research the best ENT Doctor in Antalya on the internet. The first name I came across was Prof. Dr. Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz was my teacher. As a result of our preliminary meeting with him and professional hearing tests, he stated that I would regain my hearing with the Otosclerosis Surgery he would perform without using a device. As a result of the trust given by my doctor, I decided to have surgery. My surgery went very well, my quality of life improved because I can hear very well now. I would like to thank my esteemed teacher and his valuable team for their interest and concern during this period. Definitely benefit from my valuable teacher's experiences, you will never regret it...

The staff is excellent, they are all smiling and kind people. I'm glad I came across this place. If you have such problems, be sure to go to Mr. Mustafa and his team without wasting your time looking for other places.

Thanks to Mustafa Hodja's self-confidence and the intense interest of his assistants, I went through the surgery very comfortably. Thank you Mustafa Hodja and his friendly team.

He performed a very successful surgery. My hearing was cured. I got rid of the infection. Thank you very much for everything.
