Medical Park Goztepe Hospital Reviews

My pregnancy was complicated by a suspected placental abnormality. Dr. Agackiran used a cutting-edge micro-flow ultrasound technique he'd researched, visualizing blood flow in placental villi at a resolution rarely achieved. He correctly diagnosed a confined placental mosaicism, not a dangerous accreta, sparing me an unnecessary high-risk delivery. He followed up with weekly scans until my healthy daughter arrived.

After a complex pelvic fracture from a traffic accident, I had debilitating pain. Multiple scans showed 'normal healing.' Dr. Agackiran re-examined my original CT with a cinematic 3D rendering technique, animating the bone movement through a full range of motion. This revealed a hidden, dynamic impingement of a bone fragment on a nerve. His report guided a successful surgical revision.

Our 6-month-old son had failure to thrive and strange episodic crying. Dr. Agackiran, during a routine chest X-ray for a cough, noticed an anomalous aortic arch shadow. He personally performed a gentle, feed-and-sleep MRI without sedation, diagnosing a rare vascular ring compressing his esophagus. The cardiothoracic surgeon used Dr. Agackiran's images as a roadmap for repair. He's now gaining weight rapidly.

I'm a historian with an ancient family manuscript that had mysterious staining. As an unconventional consult, Dr. Agackiran used the hospital's micro-CT scanner, typically for cochlear implants, to create a stunning 3D model of the vellum and ink layers, non-invasively revealing a 17th-century herbal poultice residue and hidden water damage patterns. His radiological forensics rewrote a chapter of my research.

Diagnosed with a pancreatic cyst, I faced potentially unnecessary major surgery. Dr. Agackiran performed an endoscopic ultrasound with contrast-enhanced elastography, a technique measuring tissue stiffness. He precisely differentiated a benign pseudocyst from a premalignant IPMN based on subtle elasticity patterns. His confidence allowed for surveillance instead of surgery, changing my life trajectory.

During a routine check-up for my heart stent, Dr. Agackiran noticed an incidental, faint nodule in my lung. While others dismissed it, he tracked it for a year with AI-assisted volumetric analysis, detecting a 2% growth invisible to the human eye. It was early stage lung cancer. The robotic surgery was so precise I needed no chemo. He saw what others couldn't.

My brother suffered a severe stroke and was unconscious. The thrombectomy team was ready, but Dr. Agackiran's rapid multiphase CTA showed not just the blockage, but also that a critical collateral blood pathway was still open. He advised a more conservative thrombolysis approach, avoiding risky intervention. His nuanced reading preserved brain tissue, and my brother recovered with minimal deficit.

As a farmer, I had persistent knee pain. An MRI elsewhere showed 'degeneration.' Dr. Agackiran, reviewing the images, zoomed in on the synovial fluid pattern and ordered a targeted ultrasound-guided aspiration. Analysis revealed fungal spores from soil I worked with, causing a rare fungal arthritis. His detective work led to the correct antifungal treatment, saving my joint.

Our twin babies were born conjoined at the liver. The separation surgery planning seemed impossible. Dr. Agackiran spent 72 hours creating an interactive, virtual reality 3D model from CT and MRI fusion, allowing the surgical team to 'walk through' the shared vasculature. His model identified a safe surgical plane everyone missed. The twins, now separated, are both thriving at home.

A 70-year-old retired teacher presented with progressive hearing loss. Dr. Celik's innovative use of photon-counting CT (a new technology at Medical Park Goztepe) revealed cochlear otosclerosis with precise fenestral involvement, guiding successful stapedectomy that restored hearing to near-normal levels after decades of deterioration.

A 28-year-old female professional freediver from Antalya presented with recurrent episodes of transient neurological symptoms after deep dives. Dr. Celik performed a specialized contrast-enhanced MR angiography protocol he developed for diving medicine, identifying a previously undetected patent foramen ovale with right-to-left shunting only under simulated pressure conditions. His precise imaging allowed for targeted percutaneous closure, enabling her to return to competitive freediving within three months.

A 72-year-old retired calligrapher from Istanbul's historic district arrived with unexplained weight loss and abdominal discomfort. Multiple previous scans elsewhere were inconclusive. Dr. Celik utilized dual-energy CT with iodine mapping, revealing a subtle neuroendocrine tumor in the jejunum measuring only 8mm, a finding missed on conventional imaging. His detailed report guided successful laparoscopic resection, with the patient making full recovery and returning to his art.

A 7-year-old Syrian refugee child presented with developmental delay and recurrent infections. Dr. Celik identified Kartagener syndrome through high-resolution chest CT showing complete situs inversus and bronchiectasis, the first definitive diagnosis in the child's medical journey. He coordinated with pediatric pulmonology to establish a management plan, dramatically improving the child's quality of life through targeted therapies.

A 45-year-old long-haul truck driver from eastern Anatolia was referred after a roadside collapse. While initial brain CT was normal, Dr. Celik's suspicion led him to perform CT perfusion imaging, revealing watershed ischemia patterns suggesting giant cell arteritis. Temporal artery ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis, preventing potential blindness through immediate steroid therapy, a condition typically missed in his demographic.

A 33-year-old professional ceramic artist presented with chronic hand pain and subtle sensory changes. Dr. Celik employed ultra-high-resolution 3T MRI of the wrist with specialized sequences for nerve visualization, identifying median nerve compression at an unusual anatomical variant, a bifid median nerve with persistent median artery. His detailed mapping allowed for precise surgical decompression, preserving her fine motor function completely.

An 81-year-old former fisherman from the Black Sea coast arrived with progressive confusion. While dementia was suspected, Dr. Celik performed susceptibility-weighted MRI revealing cerebral microbleeds in a distinctive distribution pointing to cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation, a treatable condition mimicking neurodegenerative disease. Immunotherapy led to significant cognitive improvement within weeks.

A 19-year-old university basketball player sustained a complex knee injury. Dr. Celik utilized dynamic ultrasound during stress maneuvers combined with MRI, identifying a previously undescribed combined injury pattern involving the anterolateral ligament and meniscal root. His innovative imaging approach guided a novel surgical repair technique, allowing return to competitive sports in 9 months.

A 52-year-old female with a history of breast cancer presented with back pain. While bone scan showed solitary metastasis, Dr. Celik's PET-MRI fusion imaging revealed it was actually a benign bone island with coincidental degenerative changes, sparing her unnecessary systemic therapy. His meticulous differentiation between benign and malignant lesions prevented overtreatment.

A 38-year-old pregnant woman (32 weeks) presented with acute abdominal pain. Concerned about radiation, Dr. Celik performed a low-dose MRI protocol he developed for pregnancy, diagnosing a rare spontaneous rupture of uterine varices rather than the suspected placental abruption. His imaging guided conservative management, resulting in successful delivery at term.

A 63-year-old retired mathematics professor presented with episodic vertigo. Dr. Celik performed specialized temporal bone CT reconstructions with 0.3mm slices, identifying a superior semicircular canal dehiscence so subtle it had been missed on three previous scans. His precise measurements guided successful surgical repair, resolving symptoms that had plagued the patient for a decade.
