Assoc. Prof. Dr. Cevat Rıfat Cündübey

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Cevat Rıfat Cündübey is a gynecology and obstetrics specialist at Acibadem Kayseri Hospital in Kayseri, Turkey. He has more than 17 years of experience in medicine and works within the Gynecology & Obstetrics unit. He also provides care through the hospital’s In Vitro Fertilization and Reproductive Medicine Center and Urogynecology units, covering reproductive health, pregnancy care, delivery planning and urogynecological symptoms.

Dr. Cündübey graduated from Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine in 2009 and worked as a general practitioner at Kayseri Bünyan State Hospital from 2009 to 2012. He then trained as a research assistant doctor in the Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine Obstetrics and Gynecology Department and completed his specialization in obstetrics and gynecology in 2017. He subsequently held specialist doctor positions at Kastamonu Taşköprü State Hospital (2017–2019), Kayseri Private Erciyes Hospital (2019–2020) and Kayseri City Training and Research Hospital (2020–2024) before joining Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2024. He has co-authored peer-reviewed publications on topics including antenatal betamethasone administration in late preterm births, weight gain after a gestational diabetes diagnosis and perinatal outcomes, hematological parameters in pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome, and the effect of a nuchal cord on outcomes in vaginal delivery.

Clinical focus

Dr. Cündübey’s obstetric practice covers pregnancy monitoring and delivery care, including epidural delivery, cesarean delivery and water birth. He follows pregnancies affected by preeclampsia and gestational diabetes, conditions that require closer monitoring of both mother and baby during pregnancy and around the time of delivery.

In gynecology and reproductive medicine, he evaluates and treats menstrual irregularities, polycystic ovary syndrome and infertility, working within the In Vitro Fertilization and Reproductive Medicine Center. His practice also includes urogynecology, including bladder health conditions such as urinary incontinence, as well as genital aesthetics. The appropriate approach in each case depends on the individual patient’s history, examination findings and test results, which are reviewed before any treatment is discussed.

How Dr. Cündübey works with international patients

Dr. Cündübey 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 ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and 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 before traveling or as part of follow-up.
