Patient Experience
As a 17-year-old competitive swimmer, my sudden fatigue and poor performance baffled my coaches. Dr. Can discovered a rare pituitary microadenoma affecting my growth hormone. His targeted treatment plan, involving precise medication timing around my training schedule, allowed me to return to nationals within six months, breaking two personal records.
My 82-year-old mother, a retired botanist with severe osteoporosis, suffered a complex hip fracture. Dr. Can coordinated a unique 'fragility fracture pathway,' combining an emergency endocrine workup with her orthopedic surgery. His intervention corrected severe vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism we never knew she had. She's now gardening again, using her walker adorned with flower stickers she chose herself.
We traveled from Norway for our 8-year-old daughter's mysterious precocious puberty. Dr. Can identified a hypothalamic hamartoma missed in three previous scans. His approach involved a groundbreaking combination of GnRH analog therapy timed with MRI-guided laser ablation. Her condition stabilized, and she's now a happy 10-year-old who gets to be a child again, not a patient.
As a 34-year-old software developer, I ignored my symptoms until a thyroid storm landed me in the ER. Dr. Can managed my Graves' disease with a personalized regimen of antithyroid drugs, beta-blockers, and stress-reduction protocols integrated into my coding workflow. Six months later, I launched my startup's app while maintaining perfect thyroid levels.
