Patient Experience
As a 72-year-old retired violinist, I thought my performing days were over due to crippling trigeminal neuralgia that felt like electric shocks in my face. Dr. Tetik didn't just see me as another pain patient; she understood my passion. Her precise radiofrequency ablation targeted the exact nerve branch, and the relief was immediate. At my follow-up, I played a short piece from Vivaldi in her office—a moment I'll never forget.
My 14-year-old daughter developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome after a seemingly minor ankle sprain. We saw five specialists who dismissed it as 'growing pains.' Dr. Tetik was the first to truly listen, performing a detailed sensory exam that confirmed the diagnosis. Her sympathetic nerve blocks combined with a tailored physical therapy plan gave my daughter her mobility back. She's now back on the soccer field, pain-free.
After surviving a high-rise construction fall at 41, I had chronic pelvic pain that 18 months of conventional treatments couldn't touch. Dr. Tetik pioneered a novel pudendal nerve decompression using ultrasound-guided hydrodissection. The procedure itself was surprisingly gentle, and the relief was profound. I went from needing a cushion to sit for 10 minutes to returning to my woodworking shop within weeks.
My 88-year-old mother with advanced dementia developed severe abdominal pain she couldn't verbalize. Dr. Tetik's approach was revolutionary—she used observational pain scales and diagnostic nerve blocks to identify an obscure case of ilioinguinal neuralgia. The minimally invasive cryoablation provided sustained relief without heavy medications that would have confused her further. Her peaceful demeanor returned immediately.
