Meet the Surgeon 
​
The most basic element of the diagnosis, treatment and medical care process is the establishment of an optimum relationship between the patient and the doctor., the doctor has a greater responsibility because he is the professional side in the correct construction of the relationship.

We are aware that problems such as pain, weakness, swelling, pins and needles or numbness that directly affect our daily life are a health problem stimulus related to your shoulders, elbows, wrists or hands.

To enjoy life, to get the most out of life without limitations, our aim is to assist you by providing you with an accurate diagnosis along with an explanation for your symptoms. As your guide throughout your journey from orientation to rehabilitation, we are always happy to answer your questions and assist you, no matter how simple or challenging. We think that working together is important for the treatment to be successful.

Prof. Dr. Mustafa Hulusi Özkan is a senior surgeon who has been in the profession for more than 20 years, who has adopted the principle of correct communication with his patients, not only with the correct diagnosis and treatment, but always by his side.
