Prof. M.D. Andaç Salman Reviews

As a 68-year-old retired mariner with decades of sun exposure, I developed a rare, aggressive Merkel cell carcinoma on my scalp. Dr. Salman didn't just perform Mohs surgery; she created a specialized flap reconstruction that accounted for my history of radiation therapy for a prior cancer. Her collaboration with oncology was seamless, and she even designed a custom protective headgear for my sailing hobby post-recovery.

My 7-year-old daughter developed a mysterious, treatment-resistant rash that spread like lace across her torso after a viral infection. Five doctors called it eczema. Dr. Salman recognized it as Gianotti-Crosti syndrome immediately, sparing us invasive tests. Her gentle approach with children—using a butterfly-shaped mirror so my daughter could 'help examine'—turned a scary experience into an adventure.

I'm a 32-year-old professional violinist who developed debilitating hyperhidrosis in my hands before performances. Dr. Salman offered me a targeted miraDry procedure instead of standard treatments. She mapped my sweat glands like a conductor scores music, preserving fine motor sensitivity. I played a concerto two weeks later with completely dry, agile hands.

After giving birth, I developed a severe case of pemphigoid gestationis—blistering lesions that made it painful to hold my newborn. Dr. Salman created a crisis management plan that involved late-night teleconsultations during flare-ups, coordinating with my obstetrician on breastfeeding-safe medications. She treated not just my skin but the maternal guilt I felt.
