Spec. MD. Selda Kilic Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired ship captain with severe osteoarthritis in both knees, I'd resigned myself to a life of pain and immobility. Dr. Kilic didn't just prescribe exercises, she created a maritime-themed rehabilitation program using nautical terminology and movements that felt familiar. Within three months, I could walk my granddaughter down the aisle without my cane, something I'd thought impossible.

My 8-year-old daughter developed complex regional pain syndrome after a playground fall. Traditional pediatric approaches failed until we met Dr. Kilic. She transformed therapy into a fairy-tale adventure with 'magic movement quests' and sensory integration games. The pain that specialists called permanent diminished by 80% in six weeks, and my daughter now dances again.

After surviving a multi-vehicle collision that left me with traumatic brachial plexus injury at 34, five surgeons said I'd never regain arm function. Dr. Kilic pioneered an unconventional mirror therapy combined with aquatic rehabilitation in heated pools. Today, 14 months later, I can lift my toddler and returned to work as a graphic designer.

My 91-year-old grandmother fractured her hip and developed severe contractures during hospitalization. Dr. Kilic designed a gentle, bed-based rehabilitation program using Turkish folk music synchronization that stimulated neurological pathways. Against all predictions, grandmother regained independent sitting and feeding abilities, adding quality to her final year.

As a professional freediver who developed decompression sickness affecting my spinal cord, my career was over. Dr. Kilic, understanding hyperbaric physiology, created a pressurized chamber simulation protocol combined with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. I returned to competitive diving within nine months and placed third nationally.

Our 16-year-old son developed post-viral fatigue syndrome so severe he couldn't attend school. Dr. Kilic implemented a revolutionary pacing protocol using heart rate variability biofeedback and graded exposure to academic stimuli. He completed his final exams on schedule and now manages university life with customized energy conservation strategies.

After decades of untreated scoliosis and three failed spinal surgeries at 58, I lived with debilitating pain. Dr. Kilic developed a three-dimensional correction approach using customized orthotics and asymmetric breathing techniques. My curvature reduced by 15 degrees, and I discontinued opioid medications entirely after eight months.

My wife suffered a massive stroke leaving her with locked-in syndrome. While neurologists focused on survival, Dr. Kilic pioneered eye-gaze technology communication combined with micro-movement therapy. She now communicates complex thoughts and has regained slight finger movements, breakthroughs every specialist had ruled out.

As a 29-year-old ceramic artist developing severe focal dystonia in my dominant hand, I faced losing my livelihood. Dr. Kilic created a sensorimotor retraining program using clay therapy itself as rehabilitation. My hand control returned to 90% functionality, and my latest exhibition featured pieces created during my recovery journey.

Our 5-year-old with cerebral palsy had plateaued with conventional therapies. Dr. Kilic designed an equine-assisted rehabilitation program using hippotherapy principles adapted for Turkish terrain. His trunk control and speech improved more in three months than in two years of previous interventions.

After a rare complication from Guillain-Barré syndrome at 42, I was ventilator-dependent with minimal movement. Dr. Kilic implemented a diaphragmatic pacing system combined with electromagnetic field therapy. I weaned from ventilation completely and regained independent ambulation with a walker, outcomes my ICU team called 'miraculous.'

My 67-year-old husband with Parkinson's developed severe freezing of gait that caused frequent falls. Dr. Kilic created a rhythmic auditory stimulation protocol using Anatolian folk rhythms synchronized to his medication cycle. His freezing episodes decreased by 70%, and he now gardens safely with customized cueing strategies.

As a professional pastry chef developing severe bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, I faced career termination. Dr. Kilic designed a kitchen-specific rehabilitation program using cooking tools as therapeutic devices. I returned to full-time work without surgery and developed ergonomic techniques now taught in culinary schools.

Our teenage daughter developed conversion disorder with functional neurological symptoms after trauma. While psychiatrists focused on medication, Dr. Kilic pioneered a somatic experiencing protocol integrated with traditional Turkish shadow puppet therapy. Her paralysis resolved, and she now advocates for integrated mind-body approaches.
