Prof. M.D. Ece Aydoğ

After my 12-year-old son, Emre, was diagnosed with scoliosis, we were terrified about braces or surgery. Dr. Ece Aydoğ was a revelation. She didn't just look at the X-ray; she watched how Emre moved, sat, and even carried his backpack. She designed a completely personalized exercise program she called 'Scoliosis Gaming'—using specific movement games on his console with motion sensors. She explained everything to Emre in terms he understood, making him an active participant. Within 6 months of our follow-ups, his curve improved significantly. She treated the child, not just the spine. We are forever grateful.

I am a 78-year-old retired teacher with severe osteoarthritis in both knees. I had resigned myself to a life with a walker and constant pain. Dr. Aydoğ's approach was different. Instead of immediately discussing joint injections, she spent an hour assessing my home environment, my daily routines, and even my old gardening habits. Her 'Ecosystem Rehabilitation' plan combined targeted physiotherapy with simple home modifications (a higher chair, a different mattress) and a gentle, progressive hydrotherapy schedule. The pain didn't just decrease; I regained a sense of autonomy. Last week, I planted tomatoes again. She gave me my garden back.

A freak accident during a basketball game left me with a complex, multi-ligament knee injury that two surgeons said would end my athletic career. Post-surgery, I was referred to Dr. Aydoğ for what I thought would be standard rehab. What I got was a biomechanical deep dive. She used real-time motion analysis to show me how my old jumping form contributed to the injury. Her rehabilitation was like elite athletic training, rebuilding not just the knee but my entire kinetic chain, with an emphasis on neuromuscular re-education. It was grueling but precise. Eight months later, I'm not just playing; I'm stronger and more aware of my body than ever before. She didn't just fix a knee; she rebuilt an athlete.

My mother suffered a severe stroke that left her right side completely paralyzed. After the neurology ward, we felt lost. Dr. Ece Aydoğ took over her case in the rehabilitation unit. Her method was intensely collaborative and focused on neuroplasticity. She didn't just give exercises; she created a '24/7 Therapeutic Environment' plan, training our whole family on how to integrate rehabilitation into every interaction—from how we helped her dress to the placement of her teacup. She used innovative technologies like mirror therapy and functional electrical stimulation with a calm, unwavering optimism. The progress has been slow but real. Yesterday, Mom lifted her hand to her face for the first time. Dr. Aydoğ fights for every millimeter of recovery with a scientist's mind and a humanist's heart.
