He has more than 40 years in medicine and is a member of the Turkish Medical Association, the Turkish Gastroenterology Association and the Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Association.

Clinical focus
A central part of Dr. Baysal’s practice is the care of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These are long-term conditions, and management generally involves confirming the diagnosis, assessing the extent and activity of the disease, and following the patient over time so that treatment can be adjusted as needed. Endoscopy is used both for diagnosis and for monitoring, and Dr. Baysal performs endoscopic assessment when it is clinically appropriate.
His subspecialty covers the pancreas, liver and biliary tract. He sees patients with pancreatic diseases, biliary tract diseases and a range of liver diseases, including fatty liver disease and liver failure. Evaluation of these conditions typically relies on a combination of the patient’s history, laboratory results and imaging, and treatment is planned according to the underlying cause and the stage of the disease. Where a condition involves more than one organ system, care may be coordinated with other departments in the hospital.
How Dr. Baysal works with international patients
Dr. Baysal consults in Turkish and 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 imaging, such as MRI, CT or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, endoscopy reports, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. 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 who wish to discuss their situation before travelling, or who need a follow-up conversation after returning home; whether an in-person examination or an endoscopic procedure is needed is decided on a case-by-case basis.
