M.D. Atilla Aslan Reviews

As an 82-year-old with chronic kidney issues, I needed a very specific renal artery CT angiography. Dr. Aslan didn't just perform the scan—he personally adjusted the contrast protocol to protect my kidneys, explaining each step in simple terms. When the images showed an unexpected vascular anomaly, he called my nephrologist immediately to coordinate care. His gentle manner during the procedure and thorough follow-up letter to my entire care team gave me complete confidence.

Our 7-year-old daughter fractured her wrist in a playground fall, screaming in pain. The emergency room sent us to Dr. Aslan for urgent imaging. He transformed what could have been terrifying—entering the MRI room—into an adventure, calling it a 'spaceship' and letting her choose background music. His preliminary reading detected not just the obvious fracture but a subtle growth plate concern other might have missed. He drew diagrams for us parents and provided a child-friendly report for her school.

After my complex pancreatic surgery, follow-up scans filled me with anxiety. Dr. Aslan's approach was different—he didn't just read the images; he created a visual timeline comparing my scans month-by-month on his monitor, pointing out exactly how the surgical site was healing. When he noticed minute changes in adjacent tissue, he recommended a specific type of follow-up ultrasound rather than another CT, saying 'Let's be precise with your radiation exposure.' His proactive thinking turned a routine post-op check into personalized care.

What began as a routine mammogram turned urgent when Dr. Aslan identified microcalcifications requiring stereotactic biopsy. His technique was remarkable—using real-time ultrasound fusion with earlier MRI data to guide the needle with submillimeter accuracy. During the 45-minute procedure, he narrated what he was seeing, showing me the screen and explaining why each sample mattered. The pathology revealed DCIS, but his precise targeting meant minimal tissue removal. He even coordinated with the breast surgeon to plan conservation surgery using his 3D tumor mapping.
