Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Not a positive experience
He was an hour late for an early appt, said his schedule was supposed to have been blocked off but wasn't. He talked over me, basically told me that primary care, rheumotolgy and physical therapy are incorrect in what they are treating me for. Additionally his fellow had offered the same diagnosis as the others, but that was still wrong. So after 90 minutes I'm left with the advice to start PT, which I already am doing! and follow up with him in 12 weeks. No thanks, if I'm going to be talked over and gaslit like this, I'll just stay at work instead.

I was referred to Kleinert and Kutz hand care by a friend who had received treatment from them in the past. I sustained an injury that was quickly identified by Dr. Tuna as a fractured scaphoid and dislocated wrist. His recommendation was to perform a surgery to complete a four corner fusion and utilize a plate installation to allow for me to still have strength in my hand. The surgery was performed back in March of 2019. The surgery went extremely well and after a handful of weeks my cast was removed. After a few months I've regained almost all of my strength in my hand, and will continue to gain more as time passes. All in all my experience being treated by Dr. Tuna exceeded all my expectations and if you suffer a hand or wrist injury I would highly recommend Kleinert and Kutz hand care. Ultimately I imagine every doctor there is extremely talented, and first hand I can tell you Dr. Tuna is exceptional in his field.

I was not an easy patient to deal with. He was amazing in talking to me about what was going on and what needed to be done. 2 surgeries and 4 months later he has me brand new again. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon to work on my hands. I would recommend him to anyone

I came to Dr. Ozyurekoglu after visiting another orthopedic office in Louisville, KY. Dr. Ozyurekoglu correctly identified my broken wrist and performed surgery. It has been six months since the surgery and I now have complete mobility in my wrist! I am extremely pleased with the results and would highly recommend Dr. Ozyurekoglu to anyone!

Very good experience. Dr Tuna was kind and very knowledgeable. There was a small wait, but when I was in the room with him, he took as much time as needed to answer all of My many questions. My problem is completely resolved at this time. Office staff were all friendly and helpful as well. I habe recommended him to friend and family.

Dr. Ozyurekoglu was insightful and provided a solution in an aggressive way, that is, he made a decision to do surgery on a next-day schedule, which was the right decision and helped me to make better progress in the overall process of healing. If he had not discerned this need and been willing and able to move quickly, it is hard to say what my outcome would have been. I was and am grateful.

Nowhere will you find a kinder, more compassionate, knowledgeable, and talented Doctor. He and his entire staff surpassed any expectation I had for professional and sincerely caring service during a difficult time. My very challenging elbow surgeries were a complete success. I would never consider anyone else other than this fine doctor and his staff.

Dr. Ozyurekoglu was absolutely the best doctor that has ever treated me in my lifetime. Everything he told me was explained clearly, and he gave me many choices about how to proceed with my treatment. I was never nervous or scared about my upcoming surgeries with him, since he explained every single step of the process to me. Thanks to him, I have now returned to my job as a professional tennis player, 3 years after a horrible car crash that severely injured my hands. Thanks, Dr. Tuna!
