About Op. Dr. Utku Erdem Özer
Utku Erdem Özer runs his own practice in the Beşiktaş-Fulya district of Istanbul. His record describes an Orthopaedics & Traumatology specialist trained at Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, in the specialty from 2001, with more than 20 years in an Ilizarov-focused reconstructive practice. The work is deformity correction and bone defects rather than a mass-market cosmetic height service, and Ilizarov is the only method on record.
The public record is limited. Corroboration comes from the doktortakvimi, doktorsitesi and bulutklinik directories plus active Instagram and YouTube channels, and Google shows 4.8 from 82 reviews. Editors note that his site does not clearly show limb lengthening as a service, so confirm whether he takes cosmetic cases at all. One bio discrepancy exists: a cited 2006 Taksim residency versus independent bios saying Cerrahpaşa from 2001. No direct phone or email is published, and no price, accreditation or language list is on record.
