Dr. Kezban Ataş

As a 72-year-old retired olive farmer with severe spinal stenosis, I had resigned myself to a life of pain. Dr. Ataş didn't just prescribe exercises; she understood my connection to the land and created a rehabilitation program using modified farming motions. Within three months, I could tend my small garden again. Her approach treated my soul as well as my spine.

My 8-year-old daughter, diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, was losing her childhood to stiffness and fear. Dr. Kezban worked magic—transforming therapy into treasure hunts around the hospital garden, using colorful resistance bands she called 'superhero tools.' She spoke to my daughter, not down to her. Now we have our dancing girl back.

After a motorcycle accident left me with brachial plexus nerve damage at 29, three surgeons said I'd never regain arm function. Dr. Ataş saw potential where others saw permanence. Her innovative combination of neuromodulation and aquatic therapy in Adana's specialized facilities sparked nerves we thought were dead. I'm writing this testimonial with the hand I was told I'd lose.

We brought our 85-year-old grandmother from our village, convinced her hip fracture meant permanent bedrest. Dr. Ataş arranged a home assessment, trained our family in safe transfers using local materials, and created a 'window garden' rehabilitation plan. Grandmother now tends her potted peppers by the window—a small victory that restored her dignity.
