Dr. Alperen Mustafa Oğuz

After my 12-year-old son's skateboarding accident left him with a complex wrist fracture and severe ligament damage, we were terrified about his future mobility. Dr. Alperen Mustafa Oğuz didn't just treat the injury—he treated the whole child. He created a rehabilitation plan that felt like play: video game-based therapy for fine motor skills, basketball drills disguised as exercises. He even video-called my son's favorite coach to explain why certain movements mattered. Six months later, my son is back on his board, and Dr. Oğuz still texts to check on his progress. This isn't just medicine; it's pediatric care reimagined.

As a 78-year-old retired fisherman with chronic lumbar stenosis, I'd accepted pain as my permanent companion. My previous doctors offered only pills or risky surgery. Dr. Oğuz at Acibadem Izmir spent an hour just listening to how the pain affected my daily rituals—tying nets, mending sails. His solution was astonishingly simple yet revolutionary: a customized aquatic therapy program in a saltwater pool that mimicked sea conditions. He combined this with targeted nerve gliding exercises I could do on my boat. For the first time in a decade, I slept through the night without medication. He restored my dignity along with my mobility.

I arrived at the emergency department after a bizarre kitchen accident—a falling ceramic bowl shattered and severed two tendons in my dominant hand. The surgeon repaired the damage, but warned I might never regain full dexterity. Dr. Oğuz approached my case like an engineer reverse-engineering a delicate mechanism. Using 3D-printed models of my hand, he mapped every millimeter of scar tissue adhesion. His treatment combined micro-current therapy with what he called 'sensory re-education'—having me identify objects in rice bins while blindfolded. My follow-up visits felt like collaborative experiments. Today, I play piano again. He turned anatomical disaster into a masterpiece of recovery.

What began as routine post-menopausal back pain transformed into a diagnostic odyssey when imaging revealed an atypical osteoid osteoma pressing on my sacral plexus. Multiple specialists dismissed it as untreatable without debilitating surgery. Dr. Oğuz proposed something radical: a staged rehabilitation protocol to prepare my body for a minimally invasive procedure he coordinated with interventional radiology. He used thermal biofeedback to retrain my pelvic floor muscles beforehand, then designed a recovery plan involving anti-gravity treadmill therapy. His approach was so meticulously sequenced that I walked out of the hospital the next day. He doesn't just follow protocols—he architects them for impossible cases.
