About me
I graduated from Izmir Dokuz Eylul University with the orthopedics branch. After I graduated, I carried out some
studies focusing on especially on
joint and cartilage surgery and stem cells. In this, I worked with many professional and amateur sport clubs. Also,
I worked on joint replacement surgery
for further aged people. Approximately, I achieved 10 thousand people who took knee and hip replacement
surgery from me. I attended to many international conferences about joint and cartilage surgery. Now I start
Ortocare Clinic for orthopedics and health center. In here, I treat my patients using the most advanced
technologies in the world, such as foot health centers, electromagnetic therapy, cryocabin therapy, backup
therapy and stem cell therapy. In our clinic, I continue to my work on non-surgical treatments, especially antiaging
treatment, and to eliminate pain problems in patients. On top of that, I also carry out some post-operative
rehabilitation and medical plates exercises.
