Cihan Göktaş, MD

Cihan Göktaş, MD is an Inpatient Clinic Physician at Acibadem Atasehir Hospital in İstanbul. He provides medical care for hospitalized patients, supporting assessment, treatment planning, monitoring, and coordination throughout the inpatient stay. His work is centered on the hospital ward rather than the outpatient clinic, with a focus on patients who have been admitted for treatment and require continuous medical oversight during their admission.

Dr. Göktaş graduated from Dicle University Faculty of Medicine in 1995 and has more than 31 years in medicine. He joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2024, where he works within the inpatient care setting to help ensure that hospitalized patients receive coordinated medical support during treatment.

Clinical focus

The clinical work of Dr. Göktaş concentrates on three connected areas: inpatient medical assessment, hospital treatment follow-up, and inpatient care coordination. Inpatient medical assessment involves evaluating the condition of patients after admission, reviewing their history, current symptoms, and available test results, and identifying medical needs that may arise during the hospital stay. Hospital treatment follow-up covers the ongoing monitoring of patients while treatment is under way, including attention to how a patient responds to therapy and whether adjustments to the care plan should be discussed with the treating team.

Inpatient care coordination refers to the role of an inpatient clinic physician as a point of medical continuity on the ward. Hospitalized patients are frequently seen by several specialists and departments, and Dr. Göktaş helps bring these elements together so that the patient’s care remains organized and consistent throughout the admission. For international patients, this includes clear communication about the course of treatment and ongoing medical follow-up during the hospital stay. The scope and details of inpatient care depend on the individual patient’s diagnosis, the treating specialists involved, and the reason for admission, and are determined case by case.

How Dr. Göktaş works with international patients

Dr. Göktaş speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who need support in other languages. Before a hospital visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and 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 that apply to the patient’s situation. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their case before traveling, although a video meeting cannot replace an in-person examination or the direct medical follow-up that takes place during an inpatient stay. Any decisions about treatment are made after the relevant information has been reviewed and discussed with the patient and the treating team.
