Dr. Özge Döyen

I brought my 7-year-old son, Ali, to Dr. Döyen after he developed a mysterious limp that three other doctors couldn't explain. She didn't just examine him—she got on the floor with him, played a little game with his toy cars, and observed his movements naturally. Within twenty minutes, she identified a subtle muscle imbalance from how he'd been sitting for online classes. Her child-friendly approach and the simple home exercise program she created (using sock puppets to demonstrate!) solved the problem in three weeks. She speaks to children, not just about them.

As an 82-year-old with advanced osteoporosis and two previous spinal fractures, I'd accepted chronic pain as my fate. My visit to Dr. Döyen at Beylikduzu was a last resort. She spent over an hour reviewing my history, then designed a rehabilitation plan that respected my limitations. She combined gentle aquatic therapy referrals with a safe land-based program, and introduced me to a protective posture brace she adjusted herself. For the first time in years, I can hug my grandchildren without fear. She gave me back my confidence, not just pain relief.

This wasn't a routine visit—I was referred to Dr. Döyen in a state of panic after a complex tendon transfer surgery on my dominant hand went wrong. Scar tissue had frozen my fingers. She approached it like a puzzle, using a combination of specialized manual therapy I'd never seen before, custom dynamic splints she designed on the spot, and even ultrasound-guided needling. Her calm, analytical demeanor in the face of my frustration was as therapeutic as the treatment. Six months later, I'm writing this review with that same hand. She salvaged a surgical outcome others might have written off.

I'm a competitive marathon runner, and what I thought was a routine IT band issue turned into debilitating hip pain that sidelined me. Dr. Döyen's approach was completely different from any sports clinic I'd visited. Instead of just focusing on the site of pain, she did a full biomechanical gait analysis in the clinic corridor, filmed my running posture on my phone, and identified a core stability deficit from an old, forgotten ankle injury. Her rehabilitation plan was brutally specific and effective. She doesn't treat symptoms; she decodes the body's flawed mechanics. I'm not just back to running; I'm faster.
