M.D. Mehmet Çavuş

I brought my 8-year-old son, Emre, to Dr. Çavuş after he fell from his bicycle and couldn't move his wrist. From the moment we entered Kayseri Hospital Acibadem, Dr. Çavuş had this incredible way with children—he showed Emre the X-ray images, explaining the hairline fracture like he was telling a story about bone superheroes. He didn't just treat the fracture; he treated my son's fear. The lightweight cast he applied was colored exactly like Emre's favorite soccer team's colors. During follow-up, he taught Emre gentle exercises with a small rubber ball. Now Emre says he wants to be an orthopedist 'like the funny bone doctor.' This wasn't just medical care; it was pediatric orthopedic magic.

As a 72-year-old retired teacher with advanced osteoarthritis in both knees, I had resigned myself to a life of pain and limited mobility. Dr. Çavuş proposed a staged bilateral knee replacement—something three other doctors had deemed 'too risky for my age.' His approach was different: he spent 45 minutes explaining the procedure using a 3D model of the knee joint, discussing not just surgical risks but also post-op rehabilitation tailored to my lifestyle. The surgery itself at Kayseri Hospital was flawless, but what truly amazed me was the recovery protocol. Dr. Çavuş visited me twice daily, adjusting pain management based on my feedback. Six months later, I'm gardening again and recently took a bus tour to Cappadocia—something I hadn't dreamed possible. He gave me back my golden years.

I arrived at the emergency department at 11 PM with a complex open tibia-fibula fracture from a motorcycle accident—bone was visible through the wound. Dr. Çavuş was on call and immediately took charge with calm precision. What stood out was his innovative approach: instead of traditional external fixation, he performed what he called 'a biological internal fixation' using specialized plating that preserves blood supply. He explained this would reduce infection risk and improve healing. During the 3-hour surgery, he found and repaired vascular damage I didn't even know I had. His post-operative care included daily wound checks and a personalized nutrition plan to support bone healing. Eight weeks later, my fracture is consolidating beautifully with minimal scarring. This wasn't standard emergency care; it was orthopedic artistry.

My 16-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, developed unexplained chronic shoulder pain that ended her training season. We saw multiple specialists who prescribed rest and anti-inflammatories without finding the cause. Dr. Çavuş approached it differently: he spent an entire consultation analyzing her training videos, identifying a subtle biomechanical flaw in her landing technique. He ordered a dynamic ultrasound (not just static MRI) that revealed a rare partial supraspinatus tendon intrasubstance tear—missed by previous imaging. His treatment was revolutionary: instead of surgery, he designed a 12-week eccentric loading rehabilitation program combined with real-time motion capture feedback sessions. He collaborated with her coach to modify techniques. She's now back training pain-free and recently qualified for nationals. Dr. Çavuş doesn't just treat injuries; he decodes the athletic body's hidden language.
