Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired archaeologist with chronic spinal stenosis, I had resigned myself to a life of limited mobility. Dr. Erenler didn't just treat my pain—he treated my passion. He developed a targeted nerve block protocol that allowed me to return to my beloved excavation sites in Anatolia. His approach considered not just my MRI, but my life's work. At Acıbadem Bakırköy, he gave me back my purpose along with my comfort.
My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive rhythmic gymnast, developed complex regional pain syndrome after a training injury. Multiple doctors offered vague solutions. Dr. Erenler created a pediatric-specific pain management plan combining sympathetic nerve blocks with graded motor imagery. He spoke directly to her about her goals, not just to us as parents. She's now back on the mat, competing at national level—a recovery we were told was improbable.
During a business trip from Singapore, I experienced a sudden, excruciating thoracic radiculopathy that left me unable to move in my hotel room. Dr. Erenler coordinated an emergency intervention at Acıbadem Bakırköy at midnight. His team performed an urgent epidural steroid injection with such precision that I was conducting my meetings 36 hours later. His cross-border coordination was as impressive as his medical skill.
I'm a 41-year-old professional percussionist with focal dystonia in my hands—a career-ending condition. Traditional pain management failed. Dr. Erenler pioneered a novel ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin protocol targeting specific forearm muscles, calibrated to preserve my delicate motor control. He tested doses while I played my darbuka in his office. I just completed a European tour; he saved my musical voice.
