Patient Experience
I arrived at Acibadem Atasehir's emergency department at 2 AM with what felt like a red-hot knife permanently lodged between my shoulder blades—a catastrophic disc herniation after lifting equipment at my metal workshop. Dr. İlknur Reyhan was on call. While others might have rushed to surgery, she performed an urgent but meticulous differential diagnosis, ruling out cauda equina syndrome first. What struck me was how she managed my panic; she explained the procedure not in medical terms, but compared the targeted epidural injection to 'precision welding' on a damaged chassis. Her follow-up was relentless—daily calls for three days, then coordinating with a physiotherapist who understood manual labor demands. She didn't just fix the acute crisis; she redesigned my workshop ergonomics and probably saved my small business.
As a competitive marathon runner, my chronic iliotibial band syndrome wasn't just pain—it was identity theft. Sports clinics offered cookie-cutter solutions. Dr. Sözenoğlu approached me like an engineer studying a complex mechanism. She video-analyzed my gait not just on a treadmill, but on Istanbul's varied pavement where I actually train. She discovered my pain wasn't primarily orthopedic but related to neural tension from an old sacral fracture I'd forgotten. Her treatment blended ultrasound-guided perineural injections with neural gliding exercises she called 'tendon whispering.' Most remarkably, she collaborated with my coach to modify training cycles. At my last follow-up, she presented data comparing my pre- and post-treatment lactate threshold curves. She treats athletes not as patients, but as performance systems requiring precision optimization.

I'm a 72-year-old retired teacher who thought my gardening days were over due to crippling hip pain. Dr. Kerim didn't just see an old lady with arthritis; he saw someone who wanted to kneel in her flower beds again. His approach was so thoughtful—he explained the anterior hip replacement technique at Acibadem Atasehir in simple terms, emphasizing rapid recovery. What struck me was how he involved my daughter in discussions about post-op home setup. The surgery was seamless, and his team had me walking the same day. Six weeks later, I was back planting tulips. He treats the person, not just the X-ray.
Our 8-year-old son 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. Kerim examined him with such calm gentleness, earning our son's trust immediately. He suspected a subtle tibial fracture not visible on initial X-rays and ordered a precise MRI. He was right—a hairline fracture. Instead of a full cast, he used a specialized removable brace, explaining it was crucial for a growing child's bone development. His follow-up calls to check on a kid's 'scooter rehabilitation progress' showed incredible dedication. A healer who speaks the language of both worried parents and frightened children.
As a competitive marathon runner, a complex stress fracture in my navicular bone felt like a career death sentence. Multiple doctors gave vague prognoses. Dr. Kerim approached it like an engineering puzzle. At our first consultation, he mapped a 3D bone scan on his screen at the hospital, showing exactly where blood flow was compromised. His surgical plan was meticulous—using a novel vascularized bone graft technique he detailed with anatomical drawings. The surgery itself was longer than expected due to his perfectionism, which I now appreciate. His post-op protocol was brutally strict but data-driven. Nine months later, I'm not just running; I'm hitting personal bests. He's the orthopedist for when the standard playbook fails.
I came in for what I thought was a routine follow-up for a old wrist fracture, but Dr. Kerim noticed my subtle favoring of my opposite shoulder during the examination—something no one else ever had. He asked about my desk job and typing habits, then diagnosed a developing rotator cuff tendinopathy before it became painful. Instead of just handing me a prescription, he spent 20 minutes demonstrating corrective ergonomic adjustments and three specific strengthening exercises. He said, 'Let's fix the engine, not just wait for the warning light.' This preventive, holistic approach from an orthopedic surgeon was unexpected. He doesn't just treat injuries; he reads the body's silent stories.
