Dr. Danyal Gümüş

I was a terrified 8-year-old who fell off my bike and couldn't move my wrist. Dr. Danyal Gümüş didn't just treat me like a kid—he made me his 'little co-pilot.' He showed me the X-ray on his big screen, let me point to the 'crack in the castle wall' (my fracture), and explained the cast like it was a superhero armor. He even drew a tiny rocket on it with permanent marker. My mom was crying from relief, and I stopped being scared. At Acibadem Atasehir, he made the worst day fun. The cast is off now, and my wrist is perfect. Best doctor ever!

As a 72-year-old retired teacher with advanced osteoarthritis in both knees, I had resigned myself to a life of pain and immobility. Multiple consultations left me fearful of complex bilateral knee replacement. Dr. Gümüş presented a revolutionary two-stage approach with a new type of implant he personally explained using 3D models. His patience was extraordinary—he answered every one of my anxious, repetitive questions. The surgeries at Acibadem were flawless. But what truly astounded me was his follow-up protocol. He didn't just discharge me; his team arranged physiotherapy at my home and he called me every Sunday for a month to check on my progress. Today, I walk in the park without a cane. He gave me back my independence.

This review is for the doctor who saved my culinary career. I'm a 35-year-old chef who suffered a catastrophic, complex 'floating elbow' injury—simultaneous fracture of the humerus and forearm—after a slip in the kitchen. It was a mess, threatening nerve and vascular damage. Rushed to Acibadem Atasehir's ER, Dr. Gümüş took one look at the scans and calmly said, 'We rebuild.' No panic, just absolute focus. The emergency surgery lasted hours. He used a unique combination of internal fixation techniques he tailored to preserve my fine motor skills. The post-op care was militaristic but compassionate. He pushed my physio hard because he understood my need to hold a knife again. Eight months later, I'm back at the stove, chopping, sautéing, and plating. He didn't just fix a bone; he salvaged my passion.

My 15-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, developed a mysterious, lingering pain in her ankle that five other specialists dismissed as 'growing pains' or 'overuse.' We felt hopeless. Dr. Gümüş approached it like a detective. He spent an hour just watching videos of her routines, asking about specific maneuvers. He ordered a dynamic ultrasound, not just a static MRI, and discovered a rare osteochondral lesion—a tiny piece of bone and cartilage was loose. His solution wasn't immediate major surgery. He devised a precise, non-invasive protocol of targeted rest, specialized physical therapy, and periodic monitoring. He spoke directly to her, explaining the biomechanics of her sport. It worked. Six months later, she's back on the beam, pain-free and stronger. He listened when no one else would and found a clever, conservative solution for a young athlete's future.
