Dr. Emre Mirçik

My 82-year-old mother had a sudden, severe headache and confusion. We rushed her to Acibadem Altunizade's emergency department. Dr. Emre Mirçik was called in late at night for an urgent cerebral angiography. He didn't just read the scans; he came to the ER, spoke to us with incredible patience, and explained the tiny aneurysm he'd found in a way we could understand. His calm demeanor during a terrifying moment was everything. He coordinated directly with the neurosurgeon, and his precise imaging literally saved her life. We're forever grateful.

As a competitive marathon runner, I've had persistent knee pain that five other radiologists dismissed as 'overuse.' Dr. Mirçik spent 45 minutes with me during what should have been a routine MRI review. He didn't just look at the standard images; he asked about my specific training regimen and then re-examined the scans focusing on the tendon insertion points. He identified a rare, partial tear the others missed. His report was so detailed my surgeon said it was like a roadmap for the operation. I'm back to running, all thanks to his detective-like thoroughness.

Our 4-year-old daughter needed an abdominal MRI and we were dreading the anesthesia. Dr. Mirçik and his team had a different approach. They called it the 'Adventure Tunnel.' He met her first, showed her pictures of the machine, and let her hold a small model. During the scan, he played her favorite story through headphones. He even managed to get clear images while she was slightly moving, using a special fast-sequence protocol he explained to us. He turned a potentially traumatic experience into a game. The results ruled out a serious condition, and she now thinks doctors are cool. A true magician with children.

Following a complex Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer at another hospital, my follow-up scans were always ambiguous, showing 'possible recurrence.' The anxiety was crippling. I sought a second opinion with Dr. Mirçik. He didn't just compare the old scans; he created a novel, side-by-side perfusion analysis over time. He conclusively demonstrated that what others feared was a tumor was just post-surgical scar tissue changing. He presented his findings with such clarity and confidence, showing me the actual blood flow patterns. For the first time in two years, I felt I had a definitive answer. He gave me back my peace of mind.
