M.D. Erdoğan Aslan

As a 78-year-old retired history professor with complex polypharmacy, I was experiencing debilitating fatigue and confusion that other doctors dismissed as 'just aging.' Dr. Aslan spent three hours reviewing my 12 medications, identified a dangerous interaction between my heart medication and a new supplement, and created a simplified regimen. His meticulous approach didn't just restore my energy—it gave me back my clarity of mind to continue writing my memoirs.

Our 8-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, suddenly developed severe abdominal pain during training camp. The emergency room suggested appendicitis, but Dr. Aslan noticed a pattern in her pain that didn't fit. He ordered specific blood tests revealing Henoch-Schönlein purpura, sparing her unnecessary surgery. His ability to distinguish between surgical and medical emergencies in a pediatric case was extraordinary.

I'm a 42-year-old long-haul truck driver who developed alarming chest palpitations during cross-country routes. Instead of just prescribing medication, Dr. Aslan investigated my lifestyle. He discovered my symptoms coincided with excessive energy drink consumption and sleep deprivation. His solution wasn't just medical—he collaborated with my employer to adjust my schedule and provided nutritional alternatives. I haven't had an episode in six months.

When my 91-year-old grandmother with advanced dementia developed recurrent aspiration pneumonia, most doctors recommended permanent tube feeding. Dr. Aslan proposed a novel approach: modifying food textures, specific swallowing exercises supervised by her caregivers, and positional changes during meals. She hasn't been hospitalized for pneumonia in over a year and still enjoys tasting her favorite foods—a dignity-preserving victory.
