Clinical focus

Dr. Hekimoğlu’s clinical practice is centered on the care of women across the fields of gynecology and obstetrics. In gynecology, he evaluates and manages conditions affecting the female reproductive system. Depending on the individual case, such conditions may include endometriosis, ovarian cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome, vaginal infections and pelvic organ prolapse. Assessment usually begins with a review of the patient’s history and symptoms, followed by a clinical examination and, where appropriate, further tests, so that the available options can be discussed in a way that reflects the patient’s situation.

In obstetrics, Dr. Hekimoğlu provides pregnancy-related care, which involves monitoring the health of the mother and the developing pregnancy and addressing questions or concerns as they arise during the course of the pregnancy. Treatment and follow-up plans are tailored to each patient’s circumstances. The potential benefits and limitations of each option are explained so that decisions can be made together with the patient, and follow-up is arranged as needed.

How Dr. Hekimoğlu works with international patients

Dr. Hekimoğlu 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, MRI or CT 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 consultations are available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Hekimoğlu before traveling or as part of their follow-up after a visit.
