About Prof. Dr. Olcay Güler

Olcay Güler is Professor of Orthopaedics & Traumatology at Memorial Şişli Hospital in Istanbul, part of the JCI-accredited Memorial group, and runs a personal-brand site, drolcayguler.com. His record notes about 20 years of experience and a self-reported count of more than 900 limb-lengthening procedures. Methods on record are LON, Fitbone and PRECICE 2. He is a TOTBID member.

The public record is limited. Verification rests on Memorial's own doctor page, the Fulya Academy and doktorsitesi directories and his own site, and the directory notes that Memorial's page does not itself confirm a limb-lengthening service. The procedure count is his own figure, not an audited one. No price is published, no Google rating is on record, no languages are listed, and the only phone is the Memorial call-centre line. This entry is distinct from any Memorial Bahçelievler listing, and no international-patient service is described.
