M.D. İsmet Cengiş

My 82-year-old mother, Fatma, was experiencing unexplained dizziness and weakness. Her local clinic couldn't pinpoint the cause. We brought her to Acıbadem Fulya Hospital where Dr. İsmet Cengiş performed a detailed cerebral angiography. What impressed me wasn't just his technical skill—it was how he explained the complex images to us. He didn't just point at shadows; he drew simple diagrams on paper, showing us the slight narrowing in her vertebral artery. He spoke directly to my mother, not just to me, treating her with such respect. His calm demeanor eased her anxiety completely. The treatment plan based on his findings has made a world of difference. We trust him completely.

Our 7-year-old son, Deniz, took a bad fall from his bicycle and complained of persistent wrist pain. The emergency room pediatrician recommended an MRI, and we were terrified—both of the injury and of our child needing such a scan. Dr. Cengiş was a miracle worker. Before anything else, he knelt down to Deniz's level and showed him pictures of the MRI machine, calling it a 'space camera.' He let Deniz hold a small model of it. During the procedure, he talked Deniz through every single noise. 'Now listen, that's the camera taking a picture of your superhero bones!' The scan revealed a hairline fracture the initial X-ray missed. His combination of pediatric sensitivity and diagnostic precision was exceptional.

As a 45-year-old with a family history of abdominal aortic aneurysm, my routine screening turned into something urgent. Dr. Cengiş, during a standard ultrasound, noticed an atypical shadow near my kidney. Instead of just noting it, he personally performed a contrast-enhanced CT on the spot. He discovered a small, asymptomatic renal cell carcinoma—extremely early stage. His thoroughness was literally life-saving. He presented the images to me and my surgeon with clear, color-coded markers, making a terrifying diagnosis somehow manageable to understand. My subsequent surgery was successful because of his eagle-eyed detection. I owe him more than a review; I owe him my future.

Following a complex spinal fusion surgery at another hospital, I was left with lingering numbness and pain. My surgeon was puzzled. I came to Dr. Cengiş for a second opinion on my post-operative MRI. He spent an hour comparing my pre-op and post-op images side-by-side. He didn't just read the report; he explored the digital slices himself. He identified a tiny, overlooked bone fragment near a nerve root that everyone else had missed—not by looking at one image, but by tracking its position across dozens. His explanation was like a detective walking me through the evidence. His detailed report gave my surgeon a clear roadmap for a revision. This wasn't a scan; it was a masterclass in radiological investigation.
