Dr. Emre Sahillioğlu Reviews

As a musician with focal dystonia in my hand, my pain was complex—part neuromuscular, part chronic overuse. This wasn't a standard case. Dr. Emre approached it like a detective and a collaborator. He coordinated with my neurologist and designed a unique regimen combining targeted botulinum toxin injections for the dystonic muscles with guided pulsed radiofrequency therapy for the secondary neuropathic pain. Each follow-up was meticulously adjusted based on my practice schedule and concert season. He didn't just manage pain; he managed my ability to have a career. His holistic, interdisciplinary strategy gave me back my music.

For years, my 82-year-old mother suffered from debilitating spinal stenosis pain. She'd given up her beloved gardening. Dr. Emre didn't just see an elderly patient; he saw a person. His approach was a careful, stepwise symphony—not rushing to invasive options. He started with precise nerve blocks that felt like magic to her. He explained everything to both of us with incredible patience, using simple analogies. Now, she's back tending her roses, pain-free with minimal medication. His respect for her age and his conservative yet effective strategy were a blessing.

Our 9-year-old son developed complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in his foot after a minor sprain. The pain was excruciating, and he was terrified of doctors. Dr. Emre Sahillioğlu was a different kind of healer. He first won our son's trust by talking about soccer, not pain. His clinic had toys. For the treatment, he used a specialized ultrasound-guided sympathetic block for children, explaining each step to our boy in a game-like way. The change was immediate and profound. Dr. Emre treated the fear as seriously as the pain. We call him the 'pain magician' in our house.

I was an emergency admission after a severe disc herniation left me unable to walk or control my bladder. The neurosurgeon consulted Dr. Emre immediately. At 11 PM, he was there, calm and decisive. This wasn't a routine checkup; it was a crisis. He performed an urgent epidural steroid injection under fluoroscopy to reduce the inflammation and pressure, explaining this could potentially avoid emergency surgery. The relief began within hours. His ability to make clear, swift decisions in a high-stakes situation, while keeping me informed and calm, was nothing short of heroic. He navigated the emergency with flawless expertise.
