About

On the pitch and in the operating room, beside the athlete.

As an Orthopaedics and Traumatology specialist, I have combined hospital and university service with football club medicine since 2009. I have worked at Erciyesspor, Kayserispor, Çaykur Rizespor, Erzurumspor and Yılport Samsunspor, supporting athletes through injury, treatment and return to play. My main interests are sports traumatology, arthroscopy and knee surgery.
