Patient Experience
My 82-year-old mother, Fatma, had a sudden, severe headache and confusion. At Kayseri Hospital Acibadem, Dr. Öztürk performed an emergency cerebral angiography. He explained the complex vascular anomaly to us with such patience, using simple analogies about garden hoses. His calm demeanor during the procedure was reassuring. The 3D reconstruction images he created were astonishingly clear. Thanks to his precise diagnosis, the neurosurgeon knew exactly what to fix. He even called the next day to check on her. We are forever grateful.
As a 34-year-old teacher, I went for a routine breast screening, anxious due to family history. Dr. Öztürk didn't just scan and send me away. He noticed my nervousness and, during the ultrasound, explained everything he was seeing on the monitor in real-time—showing me normal tissue, describing what he was looking for. He found a tiny, benign cyst but spent extra time doing a thorough elastography to be absolutely certain. He gave me a printout of the images and a 'clean bill of health' with a smile. It turned a scary checkup into an educational, empowering experience.
Our 7-year-old son, Emre, took a bad fall from his bike. The ER doctor suspected a subtle wrist fracture the initial X-ray missed. Dr. Öztürk was called in. He was amazing with Emre, showing him how the MRI machine looked like a 'spaceship tunnel' and letting him hear the knocking sounds beforehand. He used a pediatric-specific protocol to minimize scan time and radiation. He didn't just diagnose a hidden greenstick fracture; he drew a simple picture of it for Emre on his report cover. His combination of technical expertise and child-friendly care was exceptional.
I was referred for a follow-up CT after a complicated abdominal surgery for Crohn's disease, with persistent pain. My case was a tangled web of old scar tissue, inflammation, and possible new issues. Dr. Öztürk reviewed my entire imaging history first. His multiphase CT scan was meticulously timed. He didn't just read the scan; he correlated each finding with my surgical notes and current symptoms, identifying a tiny, hidden fistula missed by others. His detailed report, with arrows and annotations on the key images, became the roadmap for my gastroenterologist. He turned confusing follow-up data into a clear action plan.
