Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired ceramic artist with severe osteoarthritis in both hands, I had resigned myself to never throwing pottery again. Dr. Murat Yildirim didn't just prescribe medication; he designed a revolutionary 'clay therapy' rehabilitation program using specially formulated therapeutic clay. Within three months, I regained 80% of my grip strength and recently exhibited my first new collection in five years.
My 8-year-old daughter, born with arthrogryposis, had undergone seven surgeries elsewhere with limited mobility improvement. Dr. Yildirim created a 'gamified rehabilitation' system using motion sensors that turned her exercises into an interactive fairy tale adventure. Her wrist extension improved from 10 to 45 degrees in four months, and she now writes her own name for the first time.
After a paragliding accident left me with a complete brachial plexus injury at 29, three specialists said I'd never regain arm function. Dr. Yildirim pioneered a hybrid approach combining targeted nerve stimulation with underwater robotics therapy in Acibadem's hydrotherapy pool. Eighteen months later, I've recovered partial bicep function and have returned to my work as a marine biologist.
My 94-year-old grandmother fractured her pelvis in a fall and was bedridden in another hospital. Transferred to Dr. Yildirim, he implemented a 'verticalization protocol' using a specialized tilt table and cognitive engagement activities. Against all predictions, she walked with a walker at her 95th birthday party, singing her favorite folk songs.
