Clinical focus

The main area of Dyt. Erdoğan Aksan’s practice is obesity management, including child and adolescent weight management. Dietary planning for weight-related conditions is adapted to the patient’s age, medical history and current treatment, and where carbohydrate counting is part of a patient’s care she includes this method in the nutrition plan.

She also prepares nutrition plans for patients with gout, celiac disease and iron deficiency, and develops nutrition programs for eating disorders. Her work extends across different life stages, including pregnancy nutrition, menstrual cycle nutrition and menopause nutrition, as well as nutrition for bed-bound patients, whose dietary requirements depend on their underlying condition and level of mobility. Nutritional recommendations are provided alongside, not in place of, the medical care a patient receives from the treating physician.

How Dyt. Beyza Erdoğan Aksan works with international patients

Dyt. Erdoğan Aksan speaks 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 imaging, arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing reports and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the dietary options that may be suitable. Video consultation is available for international patients, which allows a patient to discuss their situation with her before deciding whether to travel.
