Spec. MD. Levent Erhan Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired ship captain with chronic lumbar stenosis, I'd resigned myself to a life of pain. Dr. Erhan didn't just treat my back, he analyzed my gait, discovered my right leg was subtly shorter after a decades-old fracture, and prescribed custom orthotics alongside aquatic therapy. For the first time in 15 years, I can walk the marina without stopping every hundred meters. His holistic approach saw what seven other doctors missed.

Our 8-year-old daughter developed severe idiopathic toe-walking after a viral infection. Pediatricians suggested it was behavioral, but Dr. Erhan recognized it as a neurological coordination issue. Through a playful regimen of balance games, proprioceptive training, and gentle stretching, she regained normal gait within four months. He treated her like a little athlete, not a patient, and she looked forward to every session.

After surviving a multi-vehicle collision, I had complex regional pain syndrome in my left arm, the burning pain was unbearable. Dr. Erhan combined mirror therapy with graded motor imagery and interventional pain management. The breakthrough came when he noticed my pain spiked during specific weather changes and incorporated barometric pressure adaptation exercises. I've regained 80% function and returned to my work as a pastry chef.

My 45-year-old husband, a competitive cyclist, developed unexplained pelvic floor dysfunction that ended his racing career. Most specialists focused on urological aspects, but Dr. Erhan identified it as a biomechanical chain reaction from an old sacral fracture. His targeted myofascial release and breathing retraining protocol resolved symptoms we'd battled for three years. He gave us our active life back.

As a 19-year-old ballet dancer with a career-threatening hip labral tear, I was terrified of surgery. Dr. Erhan designed a pre-habilitation program strengthening my deep stabilizers, then created a post-arthroscopy recovery plan synchronized with my company's rehearsal schedule. His understanding of dance biomechanics helped me return to principal roles six months ahead of predictions.

My 81-year-old mother with Parkinson's was declining rapidly, her freezing episodes causing frequent falls. Dr. Erhan introduced rhythmic auditory stimulation therapy using Turkish folk music she loved. The familiar rhythms helped her overcome freezing better than any medication. He also trained our family in cueing techniques. Her confidence and mobility have improved dramatically.

After years of computer work, I developed debilitating cervicogenic headaches that medications couldn't touch. Dr. Erhan traced the issue to my breathing pattern, I was a chronic apical breather stressing my scalenes. Through diaphragmatic breathing retraining and ergonomic adjustments to my workstation, my headaches vanished. He solved a problem nobody else thought to investigate.

Our 14-year-old son with cerebral palsy (spastic diplegia) had plateaued with conventional therapy. Dr. Erhan introduced robotic-assisted gait training combined with virtual reality games that motivated him like nothing before. Seeing his walking endurance double and his confidence soar has been miraculous. Dr. Erhan treats the whole child, not just the diagnosis.

As a 33-year-old pregnant woman with severe symphysis pubis dysfunction, I could barely walk. Dr. Erhan created a safe prenatal program using kinesio taping, aquatic therapy, and specific stabilization exercises. His collaboration with my obstetrician ensured perfect coordination of care. I delivered vaginally with minimal pelvic trauma and recovered astonishingly fast.

After a botched knee replacement left me with chronic instability at 68, I'd given up hope. Dr. Erhan used diagnostic ultrasound to identify the precise ligamentous insufficiency, then designed a neuromuscular re-education program using biofeedback. His meticulous approach helped me walk without a brace for the first time in four years. He restored my independence.

My 27-year-old daughter, a software engineer, developed focal dystonia in her dominant hand, her career was ending. Dr. Erhan employed constraint-induced movement therapy with sensory retraining using textured materials. He incorporated her coding work into therapy by modifying her keyboard setup. She's now back to programming full-time with minimal discomfort.

As a 55-year-old fisherman with frozen shoulder, I couldn't work. Dr. Erhan combined hydrodilatation with a progressive home program using simple equipment I had on my boat, rope pulleys and water jugs for resistance. His practical, no-nonsense approach respected my lifestyle. I returned to hauling nets eight weeks earlier than expected.

Our 6-year-old with brachial plexus birth injury had limited arm function despite years of therapy. Dr. Erhan introduced pediatric constraint therapy disguised as pirate games, her 'treasure arm' had to complete tasks while her strong arm was in a fun sling. The play-based approach yielded more progress in three months than we'd seen in three years.

After surviving sepsis at 42, I had critical illness polyneuropathy and couldn't lift my head. Dr. Erhan started with electrical stimulation of my diaphragm to improve breathing, then progressed to functional electrical stimulation cycling. His aggressive early intervention prevented contractures and gave me a fighting chance. I'm now walking with a walker, a milestone nobody predicted.

As a professional voice actor with muscle tension dysphonia, my livelihood depended on my voice. ENTs found nothing wrong, but Dr. Erhan identified excessive suprahyoid muscle tension from poor postural habits. Through manual therapy and vocal pacing exercises, my voice returned to full strength. He saved my career with his unique cross-disciplinary insight.
