Assoc. Prof. İlke Özer Aslan, MD

Assoc. Prof. İlke Özer Aslan, MD is a specialist in Gynecology & Obstetrics at Acibadem Maslak Hospital in İstanbul. She sees patients in the Gynecology & Obstetrics unit and in the Vitro Fertilization and Reproductive Medicine Center, where her clinical work is centered on reproductive medicine. Dr. Aslan has more than 13 years of experience in medicine, and her areas of expertise include low ovarian reserve, AMH testing and egg freezing.

Dr. Aslan graduated from Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine in 2013. She then completed her specialty training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Faculty of Medicine in 2018. She holds the academic title of Associate Professor. In 2024 she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, and she currently practices at the hospital’s Maslak campus in İstanbul, combining general gynecological and obstetric care with a focus on fertility-related concerns.

Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Aslan’s practice is the evaluation of women with low ovarian reserve. This typically begins with a detailed history and a review of any previous fertility assessments or treatments. AMH testing (anti-Müllerian hormone testing) is one of the laboratory investigations used in this evaluation, and Dr. Aslan discusses the results with each patient in the context of her age, medical history and reproductive goals. Interpretation of these results is individual, and a single test value is considered alongside other clinical findings rather than in isolation.

Dr. Aslan also advises women who are considering egg freezing as a fertility preservation option. Consultations in this area cover the medical background, the practical steps involved and the questions a patient may wish to weigh before making a decision. Whether egg freezing or another approach is appropriate depends on the individual situation, and Dr. Aslan reviews the available options with each patient so that decisions can be made on an informed basis. Her work within the Vitro Fertilization and Reproductive Medicine Center allows these assessments and discussions to take place within a dedicated reproductive medicine setting.

How Dr. Aslan works with international patients

Dr. Aslan consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as ultrasound reports, laboratory and hormone results, previous fertility treatment records, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing test results and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the possible options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Aslan before or instead of traveling to İstanbul; whether a follow-up in-person assessment is needed is decided on a case-by-case basis.
