Dr. Kılıç has more than 26 years of experience in medicine and offers consultations in Turkish and English.

Dr. Kılıç graduated from Ankara University Faculty of Medicine in 2000. She then completed her specialty training in neurology at Ankara University Faculty of Medicine in 2005. Since 2026, she has been part of Acıbadem Healthcare Services, continuing her work as a neurologist in İstanbul.

Clinical focus

Dr. Kılıç’s work centers on the neurological evaluation of patients with symptoms or diagnosed conditions affecting the nervous system. In practice, this begins with a careful review of the patient’s history and current complaints, followed by a clinical neurological examination. Where existing imaging, laboratory results or reports from previous treatments are available, these are reviewed as part of the assessment so that the clinical picture can be understood as fully as possible before any recommendations are made.

Her approach emphasizes clear explanation of findings and a shared discussion of the options that may be appropriate for the individual patient. Depending on the nature of the condition, this may involve further diagnostic testing, follow-up over time, or coordination with other specialties when the clinical situation calls for it. The aim is to help each patient understand their situation and take part in decisions about next steps in a considered, well-informed way.

How Dr. Kılıç works with international patients

Dr. Kılıç 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 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 with Dr. Kılıç 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 consultations are available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling or who are seeking an initial neurological opinion; the suitability of a remote consultation depends on the individual case, and an in-person examination may still be recommended.
