Physio Gokhan Kırdar

My story with Dr Gökhan Kırdar

I began experiencing an L4-L5 herniated disc in March, which was initially manageable with physiotherapy and electrode sessions at a local clinic. Although these treatments provided temporary relief, the underlying issue persisted. An MRI at Birinci Hospital confirmed a severe herniation, and surgery was recommended as the only option, though further physiotherapy was suggested first.

As my daily commute and activities continued, my condition worsened, with my standing time reduced to just five minutes. During the June Eid holidays, the pain became unbearable. On Eid, I contacted Dr. Gökhan Kırdar, who provided immediate care, including chiropractic and acupuncture sessions, and recommended exercises. Communication was easy as Dr. Kırdar spoke English, which helped me explain my situation.

Within a week, I felt improvement, and after two weeks and another session, my condition continued to get better. I improved my posture and seating habits at work. However, lifting a weight caused a relapse. Despite more sessions with Dr. Kırdar, the pain persisted, leading me to consider surgery again after a follow-up MRI showed no change.

Dr. Kırdar offered emotional support, regularly checking in on my well-being. Following his advice, I received painkiller injections from a neurosurgeon and took a 10-day rest while continuing exercises. The pain eventually subsided, allowing me to stand for 2-3 hours without numbness. I made lifestyle changes and consistently maintained better posture.

I am deeply grateful to Dr. Gökhan Kırdar and his clinic for their support, guidance, and role in helping me return to normal life.

The treatment that I received by Physio Gökhan Kirdar was just what I was looking for. I have had hip and knee issues for quite some time and my doctor had recently diagnosed me with Myofascial Syndrome. The pains I have up and down my legs and hips are very challenging at times. I have tried various exercises and massages, but his treatment was far more than I expected. I feel like I am a new person. I highly recommend his expertise and treatment if you are in need of such treatment. I am so grateful! I will be returning as needed for sure!

I recently completed several sessions with Physiotherapists Gokhan and Deniz for persistent shoulder pain. They promptly identified that the issue originated from my neck.

By the end of the program, I began to experience significant relief. The care and professionalism they demonstrated throughout the process were commendable. Occasionally, there might be a short wait before your session, but overall, I am very grateful for their assistance.

I had a vacation in Istanbul traveling with small kids. On the third day after arrival I felt severe back pain, which interfered with my sleep and limited my ability to move around luggage and kids. Dr Gokhan helped me to recover quickly. He examined my condition, applied some needles technique & chiropractic treatment and designed two specific exercises to perform on my own every couple of hours.

Thanks to Dr Gokhan I had been mostly recovered by the next day. I highly recommend the doctor.

I don't usually write reviews but in this instance its something I must do.

I ripped my Quadriceps tendon while walking and had to have surgery. I left hospital and they had organised a physio for me but I got one myself which was Gokhan so started my rehabilitation with him. This decision is the best one I ever made.

I had three sessions with him every week for 12 weeks and after 8 weeks I was walking with a walker and after 12 weeks I could walk slowly without. I was so happy as for me as this was terrible injury and the progress I made as I thought exceptional with his help.

In my experience I would recommend him to anyone for a few reasons. He is so patient and good at his job and this reflected in how I made my recovery. Also his language skills in English we so good.

Thank you Physio Gokhan.

One of the most difficult exams that we may face in life is having a stroke. My father had a stroke and then lost the ability to move completely, but with a lot of patience, determination and perseverance in exercises, he was finally able to walk on his feet. We thank Dr. Gokhan Kırdar for his efforts with my father and his keenness to exercise and get the maximum benefit possible, all the love, appreciation and success to him.

I'm happy that I choose him as my physiotherapist. What makes him special than other physiotherapist is that he doesn’t look to the time when the session is finished and just stop when we think that we did all the exercises that can help me for my improvement. Communication with him is very easy and always reply me fast when I want to ask something. I recommend going with him

The rear of my leg was tight, making running impossible. Gokhan identified the problem and treated it. He is very knowledgeable, professional and pleasant. He speaks good English so ideal for ex-pats. I was very pleased to find him and highly recommend him.

Gorkhan was very helpful and not just performed needed physiotherapy for my case but also showed basic moves that I still exercise to this day to reduce my problems. The place is good and has all needed facilities.

So thankful for Gokhan Physiotherapy for helping us through an extremely difficult issue. Very professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for physiotherapy.

A wonderful doctor with really magical hands. Even after the first session, I felt improvements in my shoulders and back. It was as if all the muscles and bones had gently returned to the right place.

This doctor works very carefully and delicately. Always tries not just to remove the uncomfortable symptoms, but tries to find the essence of the problem and cure the true cause of the pain.

The best physiotherapist I've ever had. Gokhan is thorough, researched my unusual condition and developed an excellent treatment plan tailored to my needs. Gokhan goes above and beyond. Anyone going to him will be well-taken care of.
