Prof. MD. Bahtiyar Demiralp

I was on holiday in Antalya when a sudden, sharp pain in my shoulder made it impossible to move my arm. As a tourist with no local contacts, I was terrified. The emergency team at Medical Park Antalya directed me to Prof. Dr. Demiralp. He diagnosed a complex rotator cuff tear with an unusual bone spur configuration that others might have missed. His calm, precise explanation in fluent English, using 3D imaging to show me the problem, immediately put me at ease. The arthroscopic surgery was a success, and his post-op protocol was so clear I could manage my initial recovery back in Germany. He even scheduled a video follow-up. This man is a world-class surgeon who treats every patient, even a stranded tourist, with immense respect and scientific rigor.

Our 8-year-old son, Kerem, was born with a severe form of congenital radial club hand. We had consulted many doctors, but the proposed surgeries seemed daunting and the outcomes uncertain. Meeting Prof. Dr. Demiralp was different. He didn't just see a complex case; he saw a little boy who wanted to ride a bike. He spent an hour with us, drawing diagrams of the intricate multi-stage procedure, a combination of soft tissue release, bone grafting, and tendon transfers, tailored specifically for Kerem's anatomy. The care was meticulous, and he had a wonderful way of explaining each step to Kerem using toy models. A year after the final surgery, Kerem can now hold a pencil properly and, most importantly, grip his bicycle handlebars. Prof. Dr. Demiralp gave our son a functional hand and a future full of possibilities.

At 78, with osteoporosis, a fractured hip from a simple fall felt like the end of my independence. I feared a long, painful recovery or worse. Prof. Dr. Demiralp recommended a cement-augmented hip hemiarthroplasty, explaining that the special bone cement would provide immediate stability despite my fragile bones. What impressed me most was his holistic approach. He coordinated with a geriatric specialist to manage my overall health and designed a super-gentle, early mobilization plan. I was standing with a walker the next day. His team's encouragement was relentless. Six weeks later, I'm walking with a cane, back in my own garden. He didn't just fix a bone; he preserved my lifestyle with incredible technical skill and profound empathy for the elderly.

As a professional volleyball player, a recurring patellar tendon issue ("jumper's knee") that didn't respond to any conservative treatment was threatening my career. I needed a surgeon who understood high-performance anatomy. Prof. Dr. Demiralp proposed a novel, minimally invasive procedure involving ultrasound-guided percutaneous tenotomy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection, a technique he has personally refined. His rationale was fascinating: to precisely disrupt the degenerative tissue and stimulate a true healing response without open surgery. The procedure itself was quick, and his rehab protocol was brutally specific and athlete-focused. He monitored my progress like a coach. Five months later, I'm back on the court, pain-free, with my vertical jump fully restored. He is the secret weapon for athletes facing complex soft-tissue nightmares.
