Ayşe Günsay, Child Development Specialist

Ayşe Günsay is a podologist working in podiatry and foot health at Acibadem Etiler Outpatient Clinic in İstanbul. Her work is focused on foot health, podology and foot care, and she sees patients who come to the clinic with concerns relating to the condition and care of their feet. She has 2 years of experience in the field and works within the outpatient setting, where foot-related complaints are assessed and cared for on a visit basis.

Ayşe Günsay graduated from Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University in 2024. In the same year she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where she has practiced since. Her training and her professional experience are therefore closely connected with the clinical environment in which she works today, and her practice has developed within that structure from the beginning of her career.

Clinical focus

The areas of expertise listed for Ayşe Günsay are foot health, podology and foot care. Podology is concerned with the assessment and care of the feet, and in her practice this covers the evaluation of foot-related complaints and the provision of foot care within the scope of a podology service. Each patient is assessed individually. The approach taken depends on the findings of the examination, on the patient’s history and on any previous care the patient has received, and the steps suggested are discussed with the patient before they are carried out.

Foot care of this kind is often ongoing rather than limited to a single visit. Part of Ayşe Günsay’s work therefore involves talking with patients about how their feet can be looked after between appointments, in a way that is appropriate for their individual situation. Where a complaint appears to extend beyond the scope of podology, the possibility of involving another medical specialty may be discussed with the patient, so that the concern is directed to the appropriate place.

How Ayşe Günsay works with international patients

Ayşe Günsay speaks Turkish and English. For patients traveling from abroad, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory results and records of previous treatments, arranges appointments and organizes the visit to the clinic. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of any existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination of the feet and a discussion of the options that may be relevant. Interpreters can be arranged when needed. Video consultation is available for international patients, which allows patients living abroad to speak with Ayşe Günsay about their concern before deciding whether to travel, and to receive an initial view on whether an in-person assessment would be appropriate in their case.
