October 2023My daughter's right leg was congenitally short by about 3 cm. When she was 6 years old, Dr. Halil Can performed an operation to lengthen the femur. It was very successful for my daughter. Now she is 9 years old, thankfully her walking has returned to normal. Thank you very much, first to my Lord and then to my dear Dr. Halil.

October 2023To my dear doctor, who successfully performed my staged bilateral hip replacement surgeries by two months. He brought me back to life, brought me back to my old healthy days, before I even wore my socks with a sock-matic, gave my legs the ability to walk again, was friendly, knowledgeable and gave me the confidence to make my decision for surgery. I thank you a thousand times. I am glad that my Lord brought you before me, I am glad to have you...
