M.D. Nuh Hakan Temiz Reviews

I brought my 8-year-old son, Ali, to Dr. Temiz after months of unexplained fatigue and weight loss. Our pediatrician was concerned about a possible thyroid issue. From the moment we entered his office at Bodrum Hospital Acibadem, Dr. Temiz had this incredible way of talking directly to Ali, explaining the 'camera' that would take pictures of his 'butterfly gland' in his neck. He turned a scary nuclear medicine scan into a space adventure. The results confirmed hyperthyroidism, but Dr. Temiz outlined a clear, gentle treatment plan with radioiodine therapy, assuring us every step of the way. Ali wasn't scared once. We're on the road to recovery, thanks to a doctor who treats the child, not just the chart.

As a 72-year-old with metastatic prostate cancer, my case is complex. My oncologist referred me to Dr. Nuh Hakan Temiz for a PSMA PET/CT scan to see exactly where the cancer had spread. Dr. Temiz didn't just administer the scan; he spent an hour with me and my wife, using 3D models on his screen to show us what the radioactive tracer would reveal. His knowledge was breathtaking. The scan he performed pinpointed several small bone metastases that other imaging had missed. Because of his precise work, my treatment team could switch to a targeted radiotherapy that has significantly reduced my pain. Dr. Temiz is a quiet genius in nuclear medicine—his expertise turned a dire situation into a manageable one.

This was not a routine checkup. I was on vacation in Bodrum when I developed a severe, persistent fever and pain in my chest. The ER doctors at Acibadem suspected an infection around my heart valve—a nightmare scenario. Dr. Temiz was called in for an emergency FDG PET scan to locate the infection's source. He came to the hospital late at night, calm and focused. He explained the urgent need for the scan in clear, direct terms. His team worked efficiently, and the images clearly identified an abscess. His rapid diagnosis allowed the surgeons to intervene immediately. I believe Dr. Temiz's swift action in nuclear medicine diagnostics saved my life during what was supposed to be a relaxing holiday.

Following my thyroid cancer surgery, I needed radioiodine ablation therapy. I was terrified of the isolation and the 'radiation' aspect. Dr. Temiz's approach was different. He scheduled a long consultation before any treatment. He drew diagrams, explained the science of how the radioactive iodine would only seek out remaining thyroid cells, and described the safety protocols in such detail that my anxiety melted away. During my isolation at the hospital, he visited me daily, not just for a check, but for a real conversation, monitoring my well-being beyond the Geiger counter. His follow-up scan showed complete success. He transformed a clinically cold, technical process into a profoundly human and caring journey to wellness.
