Clinical focus

Dr. Temizyürek’s clinical practice is centered on anesthesiology and intensive care. In the intensive care setting, his work involves the treatment of patients whose condition requires continuous monitoring and organ support, as well as advanced life support for patients in critical situations. The scope of intensive care treatment is decided on an individual basis after assessment of the patient’s condition, and the approach may be adjusted as the patient’s status changes.

His areas of expertise also include palliative care, which is directed at relieving symptoms and supporting comfort in patients with serious illness, and pain management. Pain management plans depend on the cause and nature of the pain and on the patient’s overall health; the options considered are discussed with the patient after review of the history and any previous treatment. For patients seeking background information on pain management, an overview of interventional pain management is available on this site.

How Dr. Temizyürek works with international patients

Dr. Temizyürek speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem 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 symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which allows an initial review of the case and a discussion of possible next steps before any travel is planned. Any recommendation made during a video consultation is provisional and may be revised after an in-person examination.
