Patient Experience
I brought my 4-year-old son in for an ultrasound after he complained of persistent tummy aches. Dr. Ozel was absolutely magical with him. He didn't just scan; he turned the machine into a spaceship, showing my son 'the planets inside his belly.' He found a minor intestinal issue our pediatrician had missed, explained it to me with incredible clarity using 3D reconstructions on his screen, and coordinated directly with the pediatric surgeon. My son wasn't scared for a second. This wasn't just a scan; it was an experience that solved our months-long worry.
As a 78-year-old with a complex history of abdominal surgeries, my recent CT was a nightmare of adhesions and unclear anatomy. Dr. Ozel spent over an hour personally reviewing my films, not just relying on the initial report. He called me himself to discuss the 'archaeological dig' that was my abdomen, using analogies I could grasp. He identified a subtle hernia other radiologists had overlooked and created a color-coded map for my surgeon, detailing exactly where to avoid old scar tissue. His proactive, detailed approach turned a potentially dangerous surgery into a smooth procedure. He's an artist who reads the body's hidden text.
Rushed to Medical Park Mersin after a severe motorcycle accident, everything was a blur of pain and panic. Dr. Ozel was the on-call radiologist for my emergency CT angiogram. What stood out was his intense, rapid-fire communication. He didn't wait for a formal report; he was on the phone with the trauma surgeon while I was still on the table, verbally guiding them through a tiny splenic artery bleed he'd spotted. His voice was calm but urgent, a commanding presence in the chaos. He didn't just diagnose; he orchestrated the immediate next steps. That level of acute, real-time intervention saved me from internal bleeding. A true crisis radiologist.
I'm a healthy 42-year-old here for a routine screening breast MRI due to family history. Dr. Ozel's approach was unexpectedly profound. Instead of a quick in-and-out, he used a dual-screen setup, showing me my own images in real-time while explaining the architecture of normal breast tissue versus what we're screening for. He discussed the statistical meaning of 'density' and the limitations of the technology with refreshing honesty. He made a preventative, anxiety-inducing test feel like an educational partnership. I left not just with a 'clear' result, but with a deeper understanding of my own body and true confidence in the process. This is preventive radiology at its most empowering.
