M.D. Üzeyir Tırmık

As a 72-year-old retired ballet instructor with severe osteoarthritis in both hips, I had given up hope of walking without pain. Dr. Tırmık didn't just see me as another joint replacement case; he understood my need for specific range of motion to maintain my teaching posture. His custom surgical approach and aquatic therapy plan allowed me to demonstrate basic positions to my students just 8 weeks post-surgery.

My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive rock climber, suffered a complex growth plate fracture in her wrist during a competition. Dr. Tırmık's expertise in pediatric orthopedics was remarkable—he performed a minimally invasive procedure that preserved her growth potential while explaining the biomechanics to her in climbing terms. She returned to competition-level climbing in 5 months with no limitations.

After surviving a motorcycle accident with a shattered pelvis and acetabular fracture, I faced the prospect of permanent disability at 38. Dr. Tırmık coordinated a multidisciplinary team for my reconstruction surgery, then personally designed my progressive weight-bearing protocol. His 'milestone celebration' approach to recovery kept me motivated—I completed a 5K walk exactly one year after my accident.

My 8-year-old son with cerebral palsy needed complex hip reconstruction to address painful subluxation. Dr. Tırmık spent hours with our family explaining how the surgery would integrate with his existing therapy regimen. Post-operatively, he collaborated with our physiotherapist to create a customized home program. The reduction in our son's pain has been life-changing for our entire family.
