Clinical focus

A large part of Dr. Çam’s practice concerns metabolic and endocrine conditions. He evaluates and manages type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, as well as thyroid disorders, which form his subspecialty area. He also sees patients with obesity and provides guidance on clinical nutrition, where dietary measures are considered as part of an overall management plan. Anaemia and oedema are further conditions he assesses, with attention to identifying an underlying cause before treatment is discussed.

His work also covers digestive and age-related concerns. Dr. Çam treats gastroenteritis, gastritis, fatty liver disease and chronic pancreatitis, and he supports patients with long-term conditions through chronic disease management, including regular follow-up and coordination of monitoring where appropriate. Geriatric health is another area of his practice, addressing the combined medical needs that can arise in older adults. Treatment recommendations depend on the individual assessment, and Dr. Çam discusses the available options with each patient in the context of their history and current findings.

How Dr. Çam works with international patients

Dr. Çam 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, laboratory results and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options. For patients who are unable to travel initially, video consultation is available so that existing records can be reviewed and next steps discussed remotely.
