Hi dear,
I did my surgery with Halil Buldu last year and I have had a great experience. I am planning a removal surgery this summer and I came back to the blog for info. I have always intended to write about my experience and describe physio or even do a youtube video, but, never came to it. However, as I saw that my favorite Doctor is being blamed for no reason I could not stop myself but to respond.
I do not understand why there is so much controversy regarding Dr. Buldu. It's been 10-11 months since my surgery and I text him one or twice a month and he has been incredibly supportive and responsive. I visited him in April this year and he did not even charge me for the visit, he had many clients from different countries and he definitely does not need any marketing. The person who is talking/advertising him on the platform is probably an agent, I definitely don't think that Buldu is trying to market himself. He is incredibly hardworking.
Regarding the patients, there is so much doctor blaming, whereas we need to in the first place do our own research and recheck all the facts and definitely do a lot of physio. I was double-checking everything because I wanted to be extra careful and I took my physio very seriously.
Some doctors do the surgery and then the patient leaves to his/her country and even though they were told not to do more than 8 cm the patient sometimes comes back with 12 cm and 0 physio, and then the Doctor is being blamed. That's not fair. I have heard these stories from my physiotherapist in Istanbul.
For myself, I was always the one reaching out to my Doctor and asking and following up on everything. Getting the surgery done is the easiest part, the hardest is the physio and recovery and each patient should take care of that.
if you guys have any questions please feel free to ask me. i will write the response or maybe even do a youtube video, i can definitely share my x-rays.
