Patient Experience
I brought my 4-year-old son, Ali, to Kayseri Hospital Acibadem after he swallowed a small toy part. We were terrified. Dr. Mustafa Emi in Radiology was incredibly calm and gentle. He explained the CT scan process to Ali using a stuffed bear, calling it a 'space camera adventure.' My son went from crying to being curious. Dr. Emi found the object lodged precisely and provided a 3D reconstruction image that helped the pediatric surgeon plan the removal perfectly. His patience with children is a true gift.
As a 72-year-old with a complex history of abdominal surgeries, my recent severe pain had three other doctors confused. Dr. Mustafa Emi didn't just look at the standard scans. He spent an hour correlating my old film archives with a new multiphase CT angiography. He discovered a rare, intermittent mesenteric artery entrapment from old scar tissue—something everyone else missed. He drew me a simple diagram to explain it. His meticulous, detective-like approach in Radiology solved a six-month mystery. I am forever grateful for his deep, analytical skill.
This was supposed to be a routine follow-up MRI for my knee surgery. Dr. Emi, however, noticed an incidental, tiny shadow in the adjacent bone that wasn't even related to the original scan area. He called me back, not with alarm, but with thorough concern, and recommended a specific follow-up scan. It turned out to be a very early, treatable bone lesion. His vigilance during what was meant to be a simple checkup likely prevented a major problem. His eye for detail is extraordinary; he looks at the whole picture, not just the requested slice.
I arrived in the ER with sudden, crippling chest pain. The emergency team was swift, but it was Dr. Mustafa Emi's interpretation of my coronary CT angiogram that was decisive. In the middle of the night, he didn't just issue a report; he came down to the ER, showed the rotating 3D images on his tablet, and pointed out the exact vulnerable plaque causing the issue. His direct, clear communication under pressure gave the cardiologist the confidence to proceed with immediate stenting. In an emergency, his expertise isn't just technical—it's actively lifesaving.
