Hello, I’m Figen.

Although I initially had no complaints after a traffic accident I had at the age of eighteen, in the following years, I was having increasingly more back pains, especially after the first and second times I gave birth. Many doctors I went to in Istanbul, both private practice and university, said that I had a herniated disc and prescribed me temporary treatments (such as corset medicine, physical therapy). Although I was always very energetic and active, I have lived the most precious 30 years of my life in pain with a poor quality of life.

I could not enjoy my youth and my motherhood. Whenever I did a little work (simple work like cooking for half an hour to 1 hour, kitchen work), I always needed to lie down for a while. At times I could not move at all and was simply lying with pain for days with medication.

It turns out that my 30 years were wasted with lower back pains. Dr. Erkan was a Godsend for me. First of all, he listened to me very carefully, was attentive and caring, and examined me. He diagnosed me after MRI and X-rays. There was a slip in the 3rd and 4th vertebrae on the lower back. Then there were six hernias that we called bonuses as a joke during our discussions. Dr. Erkan was the only one who really listened to me, understood me and explained everything to me in detail. I believed and trusted him and his knowledge.

With a 6-hour operation, successfully performed by Dr. Erkan with his great experience, knowledge and magic fingers, I have finally returned to living my life for the last 8 years. All my pain was gone in a short while after the operation.

Forget about housework, you wouldn’t believe what I was able to do after that. I could dance again without fear, I went on long trips and travelled abroad. I raised my grandchildren, had them sit on my lap, and even chased after them in the playground. I thank him very much. Doctor, may God bless your hands and let you heal many more patients like me.

I love you so much.
