Clinical focus

Burcu Akbeyaz Özger provides personalized nutrition counseling. Rather than applying a single standard plan, she reviews each patient’s individual circumstances, health status and existing reports before discussing dietary recommendations. Her approach is based on evidence-based nutrition therapy, meaning that dietary advice is grounded in current scientific understanding and adapted to the needs of the person in front of her. Where a patient is already receiving medical treatment for a condition, nutrition therapy is considered as one part of the wider care plan and is coordinated with the other clinical teams involved.

A further area of her work is practical meal planning. Recommendations are translated into concrete, realistic guidance on daily meals, portions and food choices that patients can apply at home and maintain over time. This is complemented by lifestyle guidance, which addresses everyday habits that influence nutritional health. The aim of counseling is to give patients a clear and manageable framework rather than a rigid set of rules, with the understanding that progress and results vary from person to person and depend on many individual factors.

How Burcu Akbeyaz Özger works with international patients

Consultations can be held in Turkish or 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 relevant documents, such as laboratory and pathology results, discharge summaries and, where relevant, imaging reports, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing reports and previous treatments, a clinical assessment and a discussion of the available nutritional options. On this basis, an individual dietary plan can be discussed and adjusted in follow-up. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be used for an initial discussion or for follow-up after a visit, as appropriate to the patient’s situation.
