Clinical focus

Dr. Aslan’s listed areas of expertise are pregnancy and gynecologic disorders. In the area of pregnancy, his work concerns the medical follow-up of women during pregnancy within the scope of obstetric care. In the area of gynecologic disorders, his practice concerns the assessment and management of conditions affecting the female reproductive system. The specific approach in any individual case depends on the patient’s history, the findings of the clinical examination and the results of any relevant investigations.

Because the appropriate course of care differs from one patient to another, Dr. Aslan discusses the available options with each patient after a clinical assessment. Decisions about further diagnostic steps or treatment are made together with the patient, taking into account her medical history and current condition. Patients with existing reports or imaging are encouraged to have these available so that they can be reviewed as part of the assessment.

How Dr. Aslan works with international patients

Dr. Aslan speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. For patients coming from abroad, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options that may be suitable. A video consultation is available for international patients, which allows a patient to speak with Dr. Aslan before travelling, to describe her situation and to ask questions about the possible next steps. Any recommendations made during a video consultation remain subject to confirmation after an in-person clinical examination and review of the relevant findings.
