Yaren Yıldız graduated in 2021 from Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University Faculty of Health Sciences. In 2022 she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where she has practiced since.

Clinical focus

The core of Yaren Yıldız’s practice is rehabilitation therapy aimed at functional recovery. This involves assessing how a patient moves and performs everyday tasks, identifying limitations, and working toward measurable improvements in strength, range of motion and mobility. Programs are built around the individual: a patient’s diagnosis, symptoms, general condition and personal goals shape the exercises and techniques selected, the intensity of sessions and the pace at which the program progresses. Therapy plans are reviewed over time and adjusted according to how the patient responds.

Mobility improvement is a recurring goal in her work. Reduced mobility can follow injury, illness, surgery or long-standing musculoskeletal conditions, and rehabilitation seeks to restore as much independent movement as a patient’s situation allows. Realistic expectations are discussed at the outset, since the extent and speed of recovery vary from person to person and depend on the underlying condition.

How Yaren Yıldız works with international patients

Yaren Yıldız speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, including 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 symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options, after which a therapy plan can be outlined. Video consultation is available for international patients, which allows a preliminary discussion of the patient’s situation and the documents that should be prepared before any travel is considered.
