Spec. MD. Roya Soltanalizadeh

After my 12-year-old son's skateboarding accident left him with a complex wrist fracture and nerve concerns, Dr. Soltanalizadeh was our beacon. She didn't just treat the injury; she treated the boy. Her approach was a fascinating blend of clinical precision and playful engagement, she had him doing 'video game finger exercises' on a tablet to monitor fine motor recovery. At İstinye Liv Hospital, she coordinated with orthopedics but led a truly holistic rehab plan. We're six months out now, and he's not just healed; his guitar teacher says his dexterity is better than before. She saw the athlete in him, not just the patient.

As an 82-year-old with Parkinson's, I feared my gardening days were over due to debilitating back pain and a frozen shoulder. Dr. Roya's method was unlike any physiatrist I've seen in decades. She used a gentle, pulsed radiofrequency therapy on my spine that I'd never heard of, avoiding major medication increases. But her real magic was in the 'kitchen sink physiotherapy', she designed exercises using my actual garden tools as resistance! At my follow-up, she didn't just check range of motion; she asked about my rose blooms. The pain is now a whisper, not a shout, and I have my hands back in the soil.

I was referred to Dr. Soltanalizadeh after a botched lumbar discectomy elsewhere left me with foot drop and chronic sciatica, a surgical complication case. Her first move was to order a dynamic ultrasound, not just a static MRI, to see how the tissues moved. Her treatment was a mosaic: precise nerve hydrodissection injections, a bizarrely effective 'tactile retraining' protocol using different textured fabrics on my foot, and cognitive strategies for neuropathic pain. She spoke to me like a co-investigator in my own recovery. At Liv Hospital Bahcesehir, her team's coordination was seamless. I'm not 100%, but I'm walking without a brace for the first time in 18 months.

My visit was for what I thought would be a routine checkup for office-related neck stiffness. Dr. Roya turned it into a fascinating forensic investigation of my workspace. She didn't just prescribe stretches; she had me take photos of my home office setup, analyzed my chair's tilt and monitor height over a video call, and identified a subtle scapular dyskinesia I didn't know I had. Her treatment involved 'micro-break' protocols synchronized with my computer's calendar alerts and a unique scapular stabilization tape job. The relief was profound and educational. She doesn't fix complaints; she decodes the body's mechanical puzzles.
