Spec. MD. Erkan Can Reviews

My toddler swallowed a rare-earth magnet from a toy, requiring emergency retrieval. Dr. Can used an innovative endoscopic technique with a magnetic retrieval tool he modified himself, avoiding invasive surgery. He then launched a safety campaign that changed national toy import regulations.

During the pandemic, our immunocompromised 5-year-old needed continuous care but couldn't risk hospital visits. Dr. Can implemented Turkey's first pediatric 'hospital-at-home' program for complex cases, delivering IV therapies and monitoring via wearable sensors with daily virtual rounds.

Our 14-year-old daughter, a competitive figure skater, developed a mysterious fatigue syndrome that baffled local doctors. Dr. Can suspected a rare post-viral autonomic dysfunction instead of the typical 'overtraining' diagnosis. His targeted treatment plan involving graded exercise therapy and specific supplements had her back on the ice in three months, qualifying for nationals.

When our newborn preemie twins developed conflicting respiratory and feeding issues, Dr. Can coordinated a 'tag-team' care approach rarely seen. He personally adjusted their schedules so when one needed intensive respiratory support, the other received focused feeding therapy. This synchronized care reduced their NICU stay by two weeks.

My 8-year-old son, a refugee from conflict zones, had severe night terrors and unexplained abdominal pain. Dr. Can recognized it as somatic trauma response rather than gastrointestinal disease. He collaborated with a child psychologist who spoke our language, creating a healing narrative through play therapy that resolved both symptoms.

During a family vacation from abroad, our 6-year-old suffered acute appendicitis. Dr. Can arranged emergency surgery within the hour, then created a 'virtual recovery plan' with video consultations for our return home. His international coordination with our local pediatrician ensured seamless aftercare across continents.

Our teenage son with Down syndrome developed aggressive behavioral changes. While others dismissed it as 'typical,' Dr. Can investigated and discovered silent thyroid dysfunction masquerading as behavioral issues. Correcting this transformed his personality back to his sunny self within weeks.

When my 4-year-old daughter stopped growing, multiple doctors found nothing wrong. Dr. Can noticed subtle signs of celiac disease that blood tests missed. His insistence on endoscopic confirmation revealed severe intestinal damage. A gluten-free diet triggered a dramatic growth spurt, she grew 4 inches in a year.

After a car accident left our 10-year-old with complex facial fractures, Dr. Can pioneered a 'distraction osteogenesis' technique usually reserved for adults. He used a custom-made internal device that gradually expanded her jawbone while she slept, avoiding major reconstructive surgery and preserving her facial growth potential.

Our infant son's rare metabolic disorder required a special formula unavailable in Turkey. Dr. Can personally negotiated with international health services, arranged emergency imports through diplomatic channels, and taught us to compound backup formulas from basic ingredients, literally saving his life during a supply chain disruption.

My 7-year-old, a selective mute since age 3, developed psychogenic seizures. Dr. Can designed a novel communication system using tablet drawings that revealed severe school bullying. By addressing the trauma source rather than just symptoms, both mutism and seizures resolved completely in four months.

When triplets were born with a rare genetic heart condition affecting each differently, Dr. Can created individualized treatment protocols while maintaining family-centered care. His 'rotating priority' system ensured each child received intensive focus during critical phases without neglecting the others.

Our 12-year-old daughter, a ballet dancer, developed unexplained joint hypermobility pain. Dr. Can diagnosed Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and collaborated with a physiotherapist to create a 'ballet-safe' strengthening program. She now dances pain-free with custom joint supports he designed.

Our 9-year-old son's 'treatment-resistant asthma' turned out to be vocal cord dysfunction mimicking asthma. Dr. Can's speech therapy referral and breathing retraining eliminated eight emergency hospitalizations in one year. He now runs cross-country without inhalers.

When conjoined twins were successfully separated at birth, Dr. Can managed their divergent recovery paths, one developed normally while the other had neurological complications. His dual-track developmental support system allowed each to reach their unique potential without comparison pressure.
