How Çağlar Dal works with international patients

Çağlar Dal speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the rehabilitation options that may be considered. Video consultation is available for international patients and may be used as a first step before travel. The overall care is coordinated through the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Spine Health units, and the physiotherapy plan is developed in line with the assessment of the treating medical team.
