Dr. Erdoğan Süleyman

My 82-year-old father, Ahmet, was admitted with severe abdominal pain and confusion. Other doctors were hesitant due to his age and pacemaker. Dr. Süleyman approached his CT angiography with incredible calmness and precision. He didn't just read the scan; he spent 20 minutes explaining the subtle mesenteric ischemia he'd found, drawing diagrams for our family. His gentle tone with my frightened father made all the difference. The interventional team used his exact roadmap for successful treatment. He saw the person, not just the images.

Our 6-year-old daughter, Elif, needed an MRI for persistent headaches. We were terrified—the machine, the noise, the stillness required. Dr. Süleyman transformed the entire experience. Before the scan, he showed her a cartoon about 'space adventure' inside the 'rocket tube,' letting her practice with a toy model. During the procedure, he narrated a story through the microphone about searching for hidden treasures in her brain. He found a small, benign vascular anomaly, but his true magic was delivering a diagnosis without a single tear from our child. A radiologist with a pediatric heart.

I'm a 45-year-old architect with no prior issues. During a routine executive check-up at Acibadem Maslak, Dr. Süleyman was reviewing my low-dose chest CT. He noticed a 4mm ground-glass opacity in my lung that everyone else might have called 'insignificant.' He insisted on a specific 3-month follow-up, against my wish to just forget it. That nodule grew. It was stage IA adenocarcinoma. His stubborn, meticulous attention to a 'routine' scan saved my life with minimally invasive surgery. He is the definition of vigilance.

I was the emergency case—a tourist who collapsed with a thunderclap headache. The ER was chaotic. Dr. Süleyman was called for a late-night CTA of my brain. He didn't just issue a report; he came to the ER, reviewed the images with the neurologist at the workstation, and pointed out the subtle early signs of vasospasm preceding a visible aneurysm rupture. His proactive, collaborative analysis in those frantic minutes allowed for pre-emptive neurointervention. He wasn't a distant consultant; he was in the trench with the team, and his eyes in that dark room changed my outcome completely.
