Spec. MD. Sibel Erturkler

After my 12-year-old son's complicated tibial fracture from a football accident, Dr. Erturkler designed a rehabilitation program that felt more like a game than therapy. She used interactive motion sensors and gamified exercises that kept him engaged for weeks. What impressed me most was how she explained proprioceptive retraining to him using video game analogies, he actually looked forward to sessions. His recovery exceeded the orthopedic surgeon's expectations, and he's back on the field six weeks ahead of schedule. Her pediatric physiotherapy approach is revolutionary.

As an 82-year-old with advanced Parkinson's disease, I'd seen numerous specialists who offered little beyond medication adjustments. Dr. Erturkler conducted a three-hour initial assessment analyzing everything from my micro-expressions to subtle gait changes I hadn't even noticed. Her 'rhythmic auditory stimulation' protocol, using specific Turkish folk music tempos matched to my cultural background, has reduced my freezing episodes by 70%. She even trained my granddaughter in assistive techniques using augmented reality glasses. For the first time in years, I walked to our local bakery unaccompanied.

I arrived at Liv Hospital Bahcesehir as an emergency referral after a bizarre workplace injury, a falling architectural model severed the neural connections to my left hand without major vascular damage. Multiple surgeons repaired the structures but said functional recovery was unlikely. Dr. Erturkler developed what she called 'phantom integration therapy,' using mirror neurons and sensory substitution techniques I still don't fully understand. She incorporated my profession (industrial design) into every session, having me manipulate 3D modeling clay with my affected hand. Eight months later, I'm drafting manually again. This wasn't rehabilitation; it was neurological reconstruction.

What began as a routine post-operative checkup for my spinal fusion transformed under Dr. Erturkler's care. While reviewing my surgical reports, she noticed undocumented asymmetries in my diaphragmatic movement during breathing. Through her unique 'biomechanical chain analysis,' she discovered my chronic shoulder pain, previously treated unsuccessfully for years, originated from scar tissue affecting my thoracic mobility post-surgery. Her scar tissue mobilization technique using specialized medical-grade silicone cups (completely different from typical cupping therapy) resolved both issues in nine sessions. She doesn't just treat symptoms; she decodes the body's hidden narratives.
