M.D. Erhan Zöhre

My 82-year-old father, Mehmet, fell in his garden and fractured his hip. The ambulance brought him to Acıbadem Adana in immense pain. Dr. Erhan Zöhre was like a calm commander in the storm of the emergency room. He didn't just see a broken bone; he saw my frightened, disoriented father. He explained the complex surgery needed in simple terms to us, while simultaneously coordinating with orthopedics and anesthesiology. His hands were steady, his voice was reassuring. Post-surgery, he personally checked on Baba three times that night. He treated him with a dignity that brought tears to my eyes. We didn't just get a surgeon; we got a guardian.

It was supposed to be a routine follow-up for my son Ali's (7) asthma, but he suddenly had a severe allergic reaction to something in the waiting area—his face swelled, he couldn't breathe. Panic doesn't begin to describe it. Dr. Zöhre materialized from nowhere. He didn't run, but his movement was pure, focused efficiency. He swept Ali into a trauma bay, administered epinephrine himself while barking calm, clear orders to his team. Within minutes, the crisis was over. What struck me most was after Ali was stable, Dr. Zöhre knelt down to his eye level, showed him the stethoscope, and made him smile. He saved my child's life and then saved his sense of safety.

I'm a long-distance truck driver. I came in with what I thought was just brutal indigestion. Dr. Zöhre, during what I assumed would be a quick check, listened for 30 seconds to my chest and abdomen, then his demeanor shifted subtly. He ordered specific tests I'd never heard of. It turned out I had a dissecting aortic aneurysm—a 'silent killer.' He explained the imminent danger with terrifying clarity but without causing hysterics. He orchestrated my immediate transfer to vascular surgery like a conductor. No small talk, no wasted motion. His intense, laser-focused competence in that routine-seeming moment is why I'm writing this review and not in a morgue.

My wife, 34 weeks pregnant, was in a minor car accident. The obstetricians were concerned, but it was Dr. Zöhre in the Emergency department who managed the entire terrifying scenario. He wasn't just assessing for maternal trauma; he was simultaneously interpreting fetal monitoring strips, coordinating with the OB team on one phone and the radiology tech on another. He had the unique ability to make my wife feel like she was his only patient while clearly managing a dozen moving parts. He ruled out critical emergencies with swift, decisive tests and then became our anchor of calm. He navigated the grey area between trauma and obstetrics with a wisdom that felt beyond textbooks. We left with a healthy baby still baking, thanks to his holistic, decisive care.
