After I graduated, I carried out somestudies focusing on especially onjoint and cartilage surgery and stem cells. In this, I worked with many professional and amateur sport clubs. Also,I worked on joint replacement surgeryfor further aged people. Approximately, I achieved 10 thousand people who took knee and hip replacementsurgery from me. I attended to many international conferences about joint and cartilage surgery. Now I startOrtocare Clinic for orthopedics and health center. In here, I treat my patients using the most advancedtechnologies in the world, such as foot health centers, electromagnetic therapy, cryocabin therapy, backuptherapy and stem cell therapy. In our clinic, I continue to my work on non-surgical treatments, especially antiagingtreatment, and to eliminate pain problems in patients. On top of that, I also carry out some post-operativerehabilitation and medical plates exercises.
