“The first thing I want to say about Prof. Dr. Ayanoglu is, he is not someone to be described, but to be experienced.”
My daughter is 17 years old. For the past 7-8 years, she has been suffering from Hallux Valgus disease in both of her feet. Recently, her pain had become much more severe. When I brought up the subject to another orthopedic doctor friend of mine, without any hesitation, he recommended that we go to Dr. Semih Ayanoglu. From the very first examination, his fatherly approach to our child, and his detailed explanation to my wife and me about the entire process that would take place, impacted us greatly.
On January 25, 2021, he and his magnificent team performed surgery on both of my daughter’s feet. Only three days have passed since the surgery, and there is no pain left in my daughter’s feet. In my personal opinion, he is one of the most important physicians this country has produced in his field.

“Prof. Dr. Esemenli is the best doctor I have ever encountered in my life. His compassion and straightforwardness are remarkable.”
My ankle was severely shattered and received incorrect treatment. Before meeting with Prof. Dr. Tanil Esemenli, I consulted with several professors and doctors who specialized in ankle injuries, and they all concluded that there was nothing more that could be done and that my ankle would need to be immobilized. However, Dr. Tanil courageously performed a surgery that no one else dared to attempt and restored me to good health.
Dr. Tanil Esemenli is the best doctor I have ever encountered in my life. His compassion and straightforwardness are remarkable. He swiftly addressed my problems and pain, turning the situation around after my disappointing experiences with other doctors. I am forever grateful to Dr. Esemenli, a skilled and caring doctor. May God bless you in your profession, my kind-hearted doctor.

“Despite visiting many doctors and hospitals, we found the treatment with Dr. Ayanoglu. I highly recommend him.”
My 9-year-old daughter has had a problem with flat feet, also known as fallen arches, originating from the soles of her feet since she was 5 years old. Dr. Ayanoglu treated this without surgery, using only exercises and insoles. Her complaints have decreased by 90%, and she’s getting better every day.
Despite visiting many doctors and hospitals, we found the treatment with Dr. Ayanoglu. I highly recommend him.
