Clinical focus

A consultation with Dyt. Bensu Enyüksek usually begins with a dietary assessment. This involves reviewing what the patient currently eats, how meals are organised during the day and which medical or lifestyle factors may influence nutritional needs. Where relevant, existing laboratory results and reports from treating physicians are taken into account so that the dietary picture can be considered alongside the wider clinical context. The aim of this step is to establish a clear starting point rather than to make assumptions about what should change.

On the basis of this assessment, she prepares individual meal planning recommendations. Plans are adapted to the patient’s health needs, daily routine and food preferences, and they are intended to be practical to follow at home. Lifestyle counseling forms a further part of her work, addressing everyday habits that affect eating patterns and supporting patients in maintaining changes over time. Throughout, her recommendations follow the principles of evidence-based nutrition care, meaning that advice is based on established nutritional guidance rather than on trends or unverified claims. Nutrition and diet support may be relevant for patients whose medical care involves dietary considerations, and it is provided in coordination with the other units involved in the patient’s treatment where appropriate.

How Dyt. Bensu Enyüksek works with international patients

Dyt. Bensu Enyüksek consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the hospital’s international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and relevant records, such as laboratory results, discharge summaries and notes from previous treatments, and arranges the appointment and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing records and previous treatments, a dietary assessment and a discussion of the options that may be suitable. Patients then receive clear dietary guidance based on this assessment. For international patients who are not yet in İstanbul, or who wish to follow up after a visit, video consultation is available.
