Clinical focus

Dr. Kaplan’s work centers on the assessment and management of mood, anxiety, trauma-related, eating, and personality-related difficulties. She sees patients with anxiety and with bipolar disorder, conditions in which a careful history of symptoms over time helps to guide the choice of care. She also assesses patients with post-traumatic stress disorder, where understanding the events that preceded the symptoms and their impact on daily life forms part of the evaluation.

A further area of her practice is eating disorders, which may require attention to both psychological and physical aspects of health. Dr. Kaplan also works with patients who have personality disorders, including dependent personality disorder. In each of these areas, her approach is to understand the patient’s concerns, symptoms, and care needs before discussing which options may be appropriate. The suitability of any treatment depends on the individual assessment.

How Dr. Kaplan works with international patients

Dr. Kaplan consults in 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, including previous psychiatric or medical reports, laboratory results, discharge summaries, and any relevant imaging, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of previous treatments and existing reports, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options. Patients who cannot travel at first, or who wish to discuss their situation before deciding on a visit, may have a video consultation with Dr. Kaplan. Any recommendations made in a video consultation are subject to confirmation at an in-person assessment where this is clinically appropriate.
