“When I was 16, I had two brain hemorrhages and was bedridden. I spent a long time in intensive care. My life was considered a miracle. I didn't give up and got better, now I'm excited to start university... I have 2 supermen. One is my sister; she brought me to the right doctor. The second one is my doctor Engin Cakar who brought me to this point.”

Sude Yilmaz
“We come from Senegal. My mother couldn't walk. As a result of the treatment she received, she can now walk with assistance and manage all her needs. We cannot thank Professor Engin Cakar and his team enough for their professionalism, meticulousness and courtesy.”
Penda dado Kane
“The whole team was really very caring, very friendly and very sweet. It was very enjoyable to work with both my doctor Engin and his team. I would like to thank everyone in the team and of course my doctor Engin Cakar. I watched them work wonders with their experiences, not only for myself but also for many patients here, and I still continue to watch.”
Menekse Gul Erdogar
“The entire team, especially our professor Engin Cakar, cares closely about patients and their relatives. The team energy is great. Although my patient and the patients here are difficult, the team is patient and friendly. We forgot that we were in the hospital. However, we came from the intensive care unit crying, thank God, our laughter echoes as we recover.”
Refika Cakirgoz
“I was singing at the bar with my group of friends at that time. I had a brain hemorrhage and suddenly fell down. My friends took me to the hospital. I was bedridden due to a brain hemorrhage. After 4 months of physical therapy, I can walk and sing again.”
Eser Kucuk
“Robotic rehabilitation therapists, nurses in the hospitalization ward, physiotherapists, my occupational therapist, my speech therapist and most importantly, professor Engin Cakar, the team that touched my life with a magic wand, I'm glad to have you, thank you very much for everything.”
Sinan Cem Ozkale
“I had a brain hemorrhage twice in 2018. I stayed in intensive care for a long time. When I woke up, my left side was paralyzed. I lost my arm functions and my ability to walk. If I was able to walk again in such a short time, it is a miracle and I am a miracle. The person who performed this miracle was my doctor, Professor Engin Cakar and his rehabilitation team.”
Armagan Erdogan
“I beat the clot, I beat the stroke. I started to work. I made a garden. May God bless everyone who helped me with my treatment.”
Husnu Tako
"I had a stroke while working at work. I was hospitalized for 3 months. I would like to thank doctor Engin and his team during this process. Thank you, they became my source of motivation. I came back to life again. Now, I am in charge of my 3 children, I am in charge of my family. Thank you for everything, thank you."
Yildiray Bal
"Thank you a lot for your efforts. You lifted us up too. The energy you give is the most important part of the treatment. We would also like to thank your team for their high quality of service. Health should be our priority."
Zehra Güler
"I would like to sincerely thank Professor Engin Cakar and his entire team for the good humor, dedication and effort they have shown so far, which helped me get up and have hope."
Deniz Çelik
“As far as we observed during our 9-month inpatient + 10-month outpatient treatment process, there are many people who stand up and walk almost running as a result of the treatment (my 73-year-old husband, who has an aortic prosthetic valve, is one of them). Being very patient and involving the family is extremely valuable and proven through experience, as you suggested. May you have plenty of energy and good luck. So glad to have you!”
Aynur Meriç
"My father had a brain hemorrhage and spent 130 days in intensive care. They told us to take him home because he would be bedridden for the rest of his life. We came here by air ambulane. It has been 7 months and my father is now walking, eating and talking. Endless thanks especially to my doctor Engin Cakar and his entire team who contributed."
Alişan Uçar
"I had a stroke due to cerebral hemorrhage 2.5 years ago. Professor Engin Cakar was with me throughout my entire treatment process and followed my health condition meticulously and with interest. I would like to thank my doctor Engin Cakar and his team endlessly."
