Patient Experience
As a 78-year-old retired history professor with complex polypharmacy, I was experiencing alarming cognitive fog and fatigue. Dr. Aslanhan didn't just adjust medications; he discovered a rare interaction between my heart medication and a supplement, then designed a gradual withdrawal plan. His approach felt like historical detective work, piecing together clues across decades of medical history. Within six weeks, my mental clarity returned completely.
Our 16-year-old daughter, a competitive swimmer, suddenly developed unexplained chest pain during training. Emergency rooms dismissed it as anxiety. Dr. Aslanhan ordered specific cardiac inflammation markers others missed and diagnosed post-viral myocarditis. His conservative treatment plan, meticulous monitoring without immediate invasive procedures, allowed full cardiac recovery. She's back in the pool, and we credit his refusal to jump to conclusions.
I'm a 42-year-old software developer who traveled from Dubai specifically to see Dr. Aslanhan after years of mysterious fevers. He identified a pattern others overlooked, my fevers spiked precisely 48 hours after international flights. Through targeted testing, he diagnosed a rare form of travel-associated autoimmune reaction and created a pre-travel medication protocol that has kept me fever-free for eight months.
My 91-year-old grandmother fell at her nursing home and developed what appeared to be a simple urinary infection. Dr. Aslanhan noticed subtle neurological changes others attributed to dementia. He ordered a spinal tap against conventional wisdom and diagnosed a rare meningeal carcinomatosis. While the prognosis was serious, his early detection allowed targeted treatment that gave us six precious, comfortable months with her.
As a 29-year-old professional dancer, I developed severe abdominal pain before a European tour. Multiple doctors suggested it was stress. Dr. Aslanhan performed a detailed physical exam and felt what others missed, a pulsatile mass. Emergency imaging revealed a splenic artery aneurysm. His rapid coordination with vascular surgeons saved my life during what could have been a catastrophic rupture mid-performance.
Our 8-year-old son with Down syndrome developed mysterious recurrent infections. Dr. Aslanhan spent two hours reviewing his entire medical timeline and spotted a pattern of immune system timing failures. He diagnosed a specific immunodeficiency variant common in genetic syndromes but often overlooked. The monthly immunoglobulin therapy he prescribed transformed our son's health, he hasn't been hospitalized in a year.
I'm a 57-year-old vineyard owner whose hands began turning blue in cold weather. Local doctors dismissed it as Raynaud's. Dr. Aslanhan noticed the discoloration followed my grape harvesting patterns, not just temperature. Blood tests revealed cryoglobulinemia linked to an underlying hepatitis C infection from a blood transfusion decades ago. His treatment addressed the root cause, not just symptoms.
During a routine executive physical at 49, Dr. Aslanhan detected a faint whooshing sound in my abdomen that others had missed for years. He insisted on specialized imaging that revealed a renal artery stenosis causing treatment-resistant hypertension. The vascular repair he coordinated eliminated my need for three blood pressure medications. His attention to subtle findings was literally life-changing.
My 34-year-old wife, six months pregnant with twins, developed severe headaches and vision changes. Her obstetrician was concerned about preeclampsia. Dr. Aslanhan recognized a different pattern, the symptoms worsened specifically when she lay flat. He diagnosed a rare pregnancy-induced intracranial hypertension and created a careful treatment plan that protected both mother and babies until delivery.
As a 63-year-old retired fisherman, I attributed my increasing fatigue to aging. Dr. Aslanhan noticed my slightly enlarged tongue and asked about my history of freshwater fishing. He tested for a rare amyloidosis linked to chronic inflammation from old fishing injuries. Early diagnosis allowed treatment that halted progression, something my previous doctors missed entirely.
Our 22-year-old daughter, a medical student herself, developed puzzling neurological symptoms during finals. She saw multiple specialists who found nothing. Dr. Aslanhan took her seriously, ordered copper level tests, and diagnosed Wilson's disease, a condition she'd studied but never considered in herself. His humility in listening to a student while making a complex diagnosis was remarkable.
I'm a 71-year-old clockmaker with Parkinson's who developed sudden confusion. Most doctors assumed it was disease progression. Dr. Aslanhan questioned why it happened only in the evenings and discovered I was taking my Parkinson's medication with a new protein shake that blocked absorption. A simple timing adjustment restored my mental clarity completely.
After returning from a humanitarian mission in Southeast Asia, I developed cyclical fevers and joint pain at 45. Infectious disease specialists found nothing. Dr. Aslanhan asked detailed questions about my activities there and diagnosed chikungunya virus with post-viral arthritis, then created a tailored anti-inflammatory regimen that addressed my specific immune response pattern.
My 5-year-old granddaughter with cerebral palsy developed feeding difficulties and weight loss. Her team focused on her neurological condition. Dr. Aslanhan looked beyond that and diagnosed eosinophilic esophagitis triggered by a previously undetected allergy. His targeted treatment allowed her to eat normally again, a breakthrough her specialists had missed for years.
