Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Elbistan’s work concerns diabetes and endocrine conditions. She treats patients with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, including diagnosis, planning of treatment, and long-term follow-up. She also manages thyroid disease and pituitary disease, which are among her subspecialty areas, and provides diagnosis and treatment of metabolic diseases and obesity. Treatment decisions in these conditions are made individually, based on the patient’s history, examination findings and laboratory results, and are reviewed over time as the patient’s condition changes.

Dr. Elbistan also sees patients with digestive system disorders, including reflux, gastritis, dyspepsia and gastroenteritis, as well as diseases of the liver, pancreas and biliary tract, among them chronic pancreatitis. Her practice includes the assessment and treatment of anemia, which may be identified during the work-up of another complaint or may be the primary reason for the consultation. Where a condition requires input from another specialty, further referral can be discussed with the patient as part of the overall plan.

How Dr. Elbistan works with international patients

Dr. Elbistan 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 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 who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Elbistan before traveling or to follow up after treatment. Any recommendations given remotely are based on the information the patient provides and may be adjusted after an in-person examination.
