Clinical focus

The Emergency Service is the department to which patients turn when a medical problem is acute or cannot wait for a routine appointment. In this setting, Dr. Özçelik assesses patients presenting with urgent medical needs. His work involves taking the patient’s history, asking about current symptoms and their onset, performing a clinical examination and considering any information that is already available, such as previous reports or imaging that the patient or a relative may be able to provide. The aim is a timely evaluation of the patient’s condition so that appropriate next steps can be discussed.

Because emergency presentations vary widely, the care provided is directed at the individual patient’s immediate needs rather than at a fixed list of procedures. Dr. Özçelik places emphasis on clear communication, explaining what has been found during the assessment and what the proposed course of action is, so that patients and their families understand the situation as it develops. Where further evaluation or ongoing care is needed, this is discussed with the patient in a measured way.

How Dr. Özçelik works with international patients

Dr. Özçelik speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who prefer to communicate in another language. For international patients, the hospital’s international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation 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, presented in plain language so that the patient can follow the reasoning behind each recommendation. Dr. Özçelik also offers video consultations for international patients, which can be used to discuss a situation, review available documents and consider whether an in-person visit is advisable. Video consultation does not replace physical examination, and for urgent conditions the appropriate step is direct in-person assessment. Patients are encouraged to have their existing medical documents translated or summarized in English where possible, as this helps the review proceed efficiently and allows the discussion to focus on the questions that matter most to the patient and family.
