As a 72-year-old retired archaeologist with chronic lower back pain from decades of fieldwork, I had tried everything. Dr. Ustalar didn't just treat my spine; she understood how my pain was preventing me from writing my memoirs. Her targeted nerve block procedure, performed at Acıbadem Altunizade with precision I'd compare to fine restoration work, gave me three pain-free hours each morning. Now I'm documenting excavation stories I thought I'd lost to discomfort.
My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive rhythmic gymnast, developed complex regional pain syndrome after a fall. We saw five specialists who offered conflicting advice. Dr. Ustalar created a pediatric-adolescent pain management protocol combining minimally invasive sympathetic blocks with a return-to-sport psychological framework. The transformation wasn't just physical—my daughter went from wheelchair to podium in six months, her confidence restored alongside her mobility.
During a business trip to Istanbul, I suffered a sudden cervical disc herniation that left my right arm paralyzed. As a 48-year-old finance director from Singapore, I needed immediate intervention. Dr. Ustalar's emergency epidural steroid injection at Acıbadem Altunizade was performed within hours of my arrival. The precision restored 80% function immediately; the remaining recovery came through her virtual follow-up plan across time zones.
My husband's phantom limb pain after a traumatic amputation became our family's shadow. Dr. Ustalar employed mirror therapy combined with targeted neuromodulation—a approach we hadn't encountered in two years of searching. She treated not just his residual limb but the memory of pain etched in his nervous system. Our family dinners are now filled with laughter instead of concealed winces.
