İstinye University Liv Hospital Topkapı

I'm a professional oud player who developed focal dystonia in my left hand, my fingering hand. Multiple doctors told me I'd never play professionally again. Dr. Demirtas approached it like solving a musical puzzle. She analyzed my playing posture, had me bring my instrument to sessions, and developed a rehabilitation protocol that mirrored my practice routines but retrained the misfiring muscles. She collaborated with a neurologist using real-time EMG biofeedback during sessions. After eight months, I performed my first full concert again last week. She didn't just treat a hand; she saved my musical identity.

Following a complex pelvic fracture from a motorcycle accident, I had urinary incontinence and couldn't walk without severe pain. Dr. Demirtas created what she called a 'phased reclamation' plan. The first phase focused solely on diaphragmatic breathing and pelvic floor awareness, no movement exercises at all. She used ultrasound imaging to show me how my muscles were functioning (or not functioning). We progressed through phases so gradually I sometimes doubted we were moving forward, but she tracked microscopic improvements I couldn't feel. Yesterday, I walked my daughter down the aisle without a single leak or painkiller. Her patience outlasted my frustration.

As an 82-year-old with Parkinson's, I expected more decline. Dr. Demirtas introduced 'cueing strategies' that changed everything. She noticed I could dance the tango (a hobby from my youth) better than I could walk straight. So she taught me to mentally hum tango rhythms while walking. She prescribed specific Turkish folk dance movements for balance training, connecting therapy to my cultural roots. When my voice softened, she had me recite Nazım Hikmet poems with exaggerated rhythm. My neurologist says my progression has slowed remarkably. She treats the person I was, not just the disease I have.

Dr. Spec. MD. Elif Uysal provided exceptional care for my obstetrics and gynaecology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.

After my grandson's cerebral palsy diagnosis, we felt lost. Dr. Demirtas didn't just see a medical case, she saw a child who loved the color blue and wanted to kick a ball. Her rehabilitation plan incorporated play therapy with specific neurodevelopmental techniques I'd never seen before. She taught us how to continue exercises at home using household items, turning our living room into a therapy space. For the first time in months, I heard my daughter laugh during a session when Dr. Demirtas had my grandson 'chasing' light reflections with his feet. We're not just treating symptoms; we're building a childhood.
