Üzeyir Tırmık, MD

Üzeyir Tırmık, MD is a specialist in Orthopedic Surgery & Traumatology at Acibadem Atasehir Hospital in İstanbul, where he works within the Orthopedics & Joint Center. His practice covers musculoskeletal trauma, orthopedic injuries and degenerative orthopedic conditions, and he manages patients through both surgical and non-surgical treatment approaches depending on the nature of the condition.

Dr. Tırmık graduated from the Gülhane Military Medical Academy Faculty of Medicine in 1997 and completed his specialization in Orthopedics and Traumatology at the Gülhane Military Medical Academy in 2008. He has been part of Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2006. Over more than 29 years in medicine, his work has centered on the assessment and treatment of conditions affecting the bones, joints and soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system.

Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Tırmık’s work is the care of patients with musculoskeletal trauma and orthopedic injuries. This includes evaluating the extent of an injury, reviewing imaging and clinical findings, and determining whether surgical treatment or a non-surgical approach is more appropriate for the individual patient. He also treats degenerative orthopedic conditions, in which joints or other musculoskeletal structures gradually wear or change over time, as well as a broader range of musculoskeletal conditions that may cause pain, stiffness or reduced function.

Treatment planning takes into account the patient’s symptoms, general health, activity level and expectations. Where orthopedic surgery is considered, Dr. Tırmık discusses the goals of the procedure, the recovery period and the alternatives. Where non-surgical orthopedic treatment is suitable, care may focus on conservative measures and follow-up, with the option of reassessing if symptoms change. The aim is to match the treatment to the condition and to the patient, rather than to apply a single approach to every case.

How Dr. Tırmık works with international patients

Dr. Tırmık consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their case with Dr. Tırmık before deciding whether to travel, allowing existing reports and imaging to be reviewed remotely as a preliminary step.
