Clinical focus

Dr. Ersemiz works within Family Medicine and Functional Medicine, with an emphasis on the overall health of the individual rather than a single organ system. His areas of expertise include chronic disease care and health management, in which existing conditions are followed over time and treatment plans are reviewed as circumstances change. He also provides check-up services, which allow current health status to be assessed and potential risk factors to be identified.

A further part of his practice concerns healthy aging, anti-aging care, wellness and healthy living. This includes longevity applications, which are approached from a preventive and functional medicine perspective and adapted to each patient’s history, examination findings and personal circumstances. The suitability of any particular approach is assessed individually during consultation.

How Dr. Ersemiz works with international patients

Dr. Ersemiz consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as laboratory and pathology results, MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, operative notes and discharge summaries, 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, with attention to preventive care and long-term health planning. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before travelling.
