Dr. Ebru Banu Türk Reviews

My 82-year-old mother needed a very specific cardiac MRI, and we were terrified about the contrast dye due to her fragile kidneys. Dr. Türk didn't just read the scan; she personally explained the entire modified protocol to us in the gentlest Turkish, showing us the safety parameters on her screen. She spent 45 minutes with us post-procedure, not just delivering results but drawing diagrams of the heart's blood flow to explain why a risky surgery could now be avoided. Her compassion was as precise as her radiology.

Our 7-year-old son fractured his elbow in a playground fall, screaming in pain. The emergency X-ray was inconclusive. Dr. Türk was called in and suggested an immediate ultrasound instead of a CT to avoid radiation. She turned the exam into a game, calling the ultrasound probe a 'magic camera' and letting him see his own bones on the monitor. She found a hidden cartilaginous injury the X-ray missed. Her ability to pivot techniques for a child's well-being and calm a frantic family was nothing short of miraculous.

I'm a 40-year-old with a complex medical history involving a prior liver resection. My routine follow-up CT showed a tiny, ambiguous nodule near the surgical site. Every other radiologist's report said 'probably benign, follow-up in 6 months.' Dr. Türk requested my old surgical films, spent two hours correlating them pixel-by-pixel, and called my surgeon directly. She argued it was a specific, rare form of recurrence based on subtle enhancement patterns. A targeted biopsy proved her right. Her relentless, detective-like scrutiny in a routine checkup saved my life.

After a car accident, I was rushed to Acibadem with suspected internal bleeding. The ER was chaotic. Dr. Türk performed my contrast-enhanced CT at 2 AM. What stunned me was that she didn't just send a report; she came down to the ER trauma bay with her tablet, pointed to the exact bleeding vessel on my scan for the vascular surgeon, and suggested an embolization approach based on the 3D angiographic reconstruction she had already prepared. Her active, collaborative role in that emergency, bridging imaging and immediate treatment, was the definition of cutting-edge, patient-centered care.
