Clinical focus

Dr. Erdoğan’s areas of expertise are trauma care and emergency interventions. In the emergency setting, his role involves the initial evaluation of patients who present with acute injuries or sudden medical problems, followed by stabilization and the interventions appropriate to the clinical picture. Emergency care depends on structured assessment, prioritizing conditions that may be time-sensitive, and deciding which patients need further diagnostic work-up, observation, or referral to other specialties within the hospital.

His background in Family Medicine complements this emergency practice, as it provides a broad view of general medical conditions across age groups. This is relevant when patients arrive with undifferentiated symptoms, when several conditions may be present at the same time, or when a chronic disease influences the management of an acute problem. The scope of treatment in each case is determined by the findings at the time of presentation and, where relevant, by discussion with other physicians involved in the patient’s care.

How Dr. Erdoğan works with international patients

Dr. Erdoğan consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. 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, 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. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be used to review a case before travel or to follow up after treatment; whether a video consultation is suitable depends on the nature of the medical problem, and urgent conditions require in-person emergency evaluation.
