Dr. Feyzi Kılıç

What began as routine knee pain from marathon training evolved into a diagnostic odyssey when imaging revealed a rare osteoid osteoma in my tibia. Dr. Kılıç's approach was methodical yet innovative—instead of immediate invasive surgery, he first ruled out seven other possible conditions through what he called 'diagnostic elimination.' His solution was minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation, but with a twist: he used CT-guided navigation with real-time thermal monitoring to protect surrounding tissues. During the procedure at Acıbadem Maslak's advanced interventional suite, he explained each step via monitor. Six months later, I'm not only running again but have improved my personal best. He transforms complex cases into masterclasses in precision medicine.

I'm a 72-year-old retired teacher who thought my hiking days were over due to debilitating hip pain. Dr. Feyzi Kılıç didn't just see an elderly patient; he saw an adventurer who needed her mobility back. His approach was remarkable—he spent our first consultation sketching the joint mechanics on his tablet, showing me exactly how the cartilage had worn thin. What truly set him apart was his 'pre-habilitation' program: six weeks of targeted physiotherapy BEFORE the hip replacement surgery at Acibadem Maslak. When I woke from surgery, the pain was already less than my chronic arthritis pain. Three months later, I completed the Lycian Way trail. He doesn't just fix bones; he restores lives.

Our 8-year-old son, Emre, took a bad fall during a football match, and the local clinic said it was just a sprain. After two days of him crying in pain, we rushed to Acıbadem Maslak's emergency department. Dr. Kılıç was on call and immediately recognized what others missed: a subtle Salter-Harris fracture in the growth plate of his ankle. His calm demeanor with our terrified child was magical—he explained the procedure using football analogies, calling the cast 'a superhero shield for healing.' The follow-up has been incredibly thorough, with growth monitoring every six months. Most doctors treat children like small adults; Dr. Kılıç understands pediatric orthopedics is a completely different science.

As a professional violinist, my career hung in the balance when I developed focal dystonia in my left hand, causing severe ulnar nerve compression. Multiple specialists offered only steroid injections or told me to consider career change. Dr. Kılıç proposed an unconventional solution: a subcutaneous anterior transposition surgery combined with a tailored neural gliding protocol he developed. What amazed me wasn't just the surgical precision (the scar is virtually invisible), but his collaboration with a neurologist and my music therapist throughout recovery. He attended one of my rehearsals to observe my technique post-recovery. Today, I'm performing again—not despite his treatment, but because of his holistic vision that treated the musician, not just the nerve.
