Assist. Prof. M.D. Yiğit Umur Cirdi

I'm a 72-year-old retired teacher who had resigned myself to living with constant knee pain. Dr. Yiğit Umur Cirdi didn't just see an old woman with arthritis—he saw someone who wanted to garden again. He explained the partial knee replacement option at Acibadem Atasehir with such clarity, using a 3D model of my own joint from the scans. The surgery was precise, and his follow-up was remarkable. He called me personally two days after discharge to check on my pain levels. Now, six months later, I'm kneeling in my tulip beds pain-free. He restored my independence.

Our 8-year-old son, Deniz, took a bad fall from his scooter, and the local clinic said it was just a sprain. When he couldn't bear weight after two days, we rushed to Acibadem Atasehir. Dr. Cirdi had this incredible calm energy that immediately put Deniz at ease. He discovered a subtle but serious fracture in the growth plate of his ankle—something easily missed. He didn't just set the cast; he designed a bright blue, waterproof cast and made a whole story about it being a superhero shield. His approach with children is a gift. Deniz's recovery has been perfect, and he still talks about 'the cool bone doctor.'

As a competitive marathon runner, a stress fracture in my femur was my worst nightmare right before a major race. This wasn't a routine checkup; it was a crisis. Dr. Cirdi's approach was uniquely analytical and athletic-minded. He collaborated with a sports physio right from day one at the hospital, creating not just a healing plan but a detailed return-to-running protocol. He used advanced bone stimulation therapy and monitored my progress with the focus of a coach. He understood the psychology of an injured athlete. Thanks to his innovative, non-surgical management, I'm not just healed—I'm back training, stronger than before.

My case was complex: a failed previous spinal fusion that left me with chronic back pain and nerve issues. Multiple surgeons had been hesitant. Dr. Cirdi at Acibadem Atasehir spent over an hour in the initial consultation, not just looking at my new MRIs, but reviewing the entire surgical history from a decade ago. He proposed a revision surgery that was meticulously planned using custom surgical guides. The detail was astounding. Post-op, he visited me twice daily, always explaining each step of the recovery. It's been a year now, and the debilitating pain is gone. He tackled a complicated, discouraging situation with unparalleled expertise and genuine compassion.
