Assoc. Prof. M.D. Deniz Can Aliş

I brought my 4-year-old son in for an MRI after he swallowed a small toy part. We were terrified—he was crying, and we were panicked. Dr. Deniz Can Aliş was a miracle worker. He didn't just operate the machine; he calmed my son down first, showing him pictures of the 'tunnel' and letting him hear the sounds beforehand. He turned what could have been a traumatic experience into a game. The scan was quick, precise, and he explained the images to us in simple terms, circling exactly where the object was lodged. His compassion with children is as remarkable as his technical skill. We left the hospital feeling reassured, not scared.

As a 72-year-old with a complex history of abdominal surgeries, my recent CT scan was a maze of adhesions and scar tissue. My surgeon sent me to Dr. Aliş specifically for his interpretive expertise. He didn't just produce images; he produced a roadmap. During the consultation after the scan, he used a 3D reconstruction on his screen to walk me through exactly what he was seeing, pointing out areas of concern and clear anatomy with a steady, confident voice. He coordinated directly with my surgical team, providing insights that were critical for planning my procedure. This wasn't a routine check-up; it was a masterclass in diagnostic radiology that gave me immense confidence going into a major operation.

I came to Acibadem Maslak for what I thought was a severe migraine. The ER physician ordered an emergency cerebral angiography, suspecting something more. Dr. Aliş was the on-call radiologist. In the middle of the night, he was focused, incredibly efficient, and yet thoroughly gentle. He explained each step as he performed the minimally invasive procedure, even as he worked with swift urgency. His scan revealed a small, previously undetected vascular malformation. His immediate, clear communication with the neurology team meant treatment began within the hour. His calm professionalism during a crisis was literally life-altering. I am forever grateful for his sharp eye and decisive action.

My follow-up visit with Dr. Aliş was for a comparative analysis of breast MRI scans, six months apart. As someone who dreads these appointments, his approach was refreshingly different. He didn't just compare the images side-by-side; he used specialized software to overlay them, highlighting the subtlest changes in tissue density with color mapping. He spent nearly 30 minutes with me, not just reporting 'stable,' but actively showing me *why* it was stable, pointing to identical vascular patterns. He treated me like a partner in my own care, demystifying the technology. It transformed my anxiety into understanding. For a routine follow-up, it was an profoundly educational and empowering experience.
