Spec. MD. Mine Sencan Ardic Reviews

I was terrified when they found a suspicious thyroid nodule during my routine checkup. Dr. Mine Sencan Ardic explained the radioactive iodine uptake test with such patience, drawing diagrams on her notepad to show how it would work. She personally monitored the scan, pointing out exactly what we were looking at on the screen. Her calm demeanor turned a frightening 'nuclear' procedure into something understandable. The results ruled out cancer, and her follow-up call to explain the benign findings meant more than any prescription. Medical Park Bursa is lucky to have a specialist who treats the anxiety along with the condition.

Our 8-year-old son needed a renal scan for recurrent UTIs. We were apprehensive about radiation exposure for a child. Dr. Ardic spent 20 minutes just with us parents beforehand, explaining the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) and how the pediatric dose would be meticulously calculated. During the scan, she had a tablet playing his favorite cartoons and talked him through each step like an adventure. 'Now we're taking a picture of your superhero kidneys,' she said. The scan was quick, he felt zero discomfort, and the results pinpointed the issue perfectly. This is how all pediatric nuclear medicine should be handled.

Following a complex Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer, my oncologist ordered a Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT to check for neuroendocrine remnants. This was highly specialized territory. Dr. Ardic didn't just run the machine; she consulted directly with my surgeon and oncologist, tailoring the protocol. When the scan showed a tiny, ambiguous spot, she didn't just report it, she correlated it with my surgical notes and previous imaging, presenting three possible interpretations to my team. Her proactive approach in that multidisciplinary meeting was decisive. She's not a technician; she's a diagnostic strategist.

As an 82-year-old with worsening bone pain, my local doctor suspected metastases but standard imaging was inconclusive. My daughter brought me to Dr. Ardic for a whole-body bone scan. I was stiff and in pain, struggling to lie still. Dr. Ardic and her technician used special cushions to support me, adjusted the pallet height so I wouldn't have to climb, and completed the scan in two shorter sessions with a break. She showed the clear 'hot spots' to my daughter and me in simple terms, avoiding medical jargon. Her kindness to an old man and her direct communication with my family doctor arranged the next steps before we even left the department. Dignity and expertise in equal measure.
