Clinical focus

Dr. Çelebi’s practice is dedicated to adult internal medicine. Internal medicine addresses the general medical care of adults, including the initial evaluation of new symptoms, the assessment of patients whose complaints may involve more than one organ system, and the ongoing management of established medical conditions. Her earlier work in an emergency service and in an internal medicine and nephrology department forms part of the background she brings to this work, although the details of any individual patient’s care are determined only after a clinical assessment.

A consultation with Dr. Çelebi typically begins with a careful review of the patient’s medical history and current symptoms, followed by a clinical examination and consideration of any existing laboratory results, imaging or previous treatment records. On this basis, she discusses with the patient which further investigations, if any, may be appropriate and what the possible next steps could be. Where a concern falls within another specialty, she can indicate the relevant area for further evaluation.

How Dr. Çelebi works with international patients

Dr. Çelebi 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, arranges appointments and organises 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. For international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling, or to review results afterward, video consultation is available. Any recommendations made remotely are provisional and depend on the findings of an in-person assessment where one is required.
