Knee and ankle fracture

Two years ago I broke my knee and ankle at the same time, and my knee was in very bad shape. Although my family suggested that I go to another doctor and another hospital, I was impressed with Dr. Kaya's attitude and approach and decided to trust him with the surgery. Today, I owe it to him that I can walk again. We stayed in touch even after the surgery: he was always ready to help, not only with the surgery, but also with any other medical issues. Many thanks to him for everything! I sincerely recommend him to everyone.

Compound fractures of his arm and leg

I survived a car accident that left me with multiple compound fractures in my arm and leg. Dr. Kaya, after surgery, literally brought me back to life as if the accident never happened. He is an outstanding doctor who is not only a master of his craft, but also cares about motivating the patient and their loved ones.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear

I found Dr. Kaya through reviews when I was looking for a surgeon for my anterior cruciate ligament surgery. During the consultation, he instilled confidence in me and explained the entire process in detail. The surgery we had on September 30 was a success and his team was very caring both before and after the intervention. Dr. Kaya and his team explained everything I needed to do to recover. A huge thank you to them!

Arm fracture

We met Dr. Kaya when my wife broke her arm. His patient care, friendliness and professionalism make you forget about illnesses. My wife's arm is even stronger than it was. He also helped me with an ingrowing nail problem that I could not get rid of after previous surgeries. Thanks to Dr. Kaya, I am rid of this problem. May God bless him!
