Prof. M.D. Ismet Tamer Reviews

As a 78-year-old with multiple chronic conditions, I was shuffled between specialists until Dr. Tamer became my medical conductor. During a routine checkup, he noticed a subtle tremor in my handwriting I'd dismissed as age. He ordered a specific neurological workup others had missed, leading to an early Parkinson's diagnosis. His holistic approach coordinates my cardiologist, neurologist, and physiotherapist like a symphony—he even called my pharmacy to adjust medication timing around my afternoon naps. He doesn't just treat diseases; he curates my ability to live well.

Our 8-year-old daughter developed mysterious recurrent fevers and abdominal pain after returning from a family trip. Pediatricians were stumped. Dr. Tamer, an internist, spent an hour asking about everything from the type of mosquitoes at our destination to her school snacks. He suspected a parasitic infection atypical for our region and ordered very specific stool tests others hadn't considered. He was right—it was giardiasis. He explained the life cycle to our fascinated daughter using cartoon drawings. His detective work saved her months of discomfort.

I arrived at Acibadem Maslak with crushing chest pain at 2 AM. Dr. Tamer, on emergency internal medicine duty, ruled out a heart attack within minutes but refused to discharge me. He said, 'Your heart is fine, but your story doesn't fit.' He dug deeper, asking about recent stress and weird sensations. His suspicion led to a CT scan revealing a rare aortic dissection beginning in an unusual location. His insistence in that chaotic ER directly saved my life. The surgeon later said another hour would have been fatal.

As a competitive athlete in for a routine sports physical, Dr. Tamer found my blood pressure slightly elevated. Instead of brushing it off, he had me wear a 24-hour monitor during training. He discovered my pressure plummeted during intense exertion—a dangerous finding. He worked with my coach to redesign my hydration and cooling strategies, turning a potential career-ender into a performance advantage. He treats checkups not as paperwork, but as deep system diagnostics. Now my whole team sees him.
