Dr. Sebzeci graduated from Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine in 2002. She completed her specialty training at the İzmir Atatürk Training and Research Hospital Department of Internal Medicine in 2009, having worked at İzmir Atatürk Training and Research Hospital from 2004 to 2009.

Her published work includes a 2009 final thesis on the effect of treatment on endothelial functions in patients with spondyloarthritis, and a 2005 article in The Medical Journal of İzmir Atatürk Education Hospital on the effect of erythropoietin on left ventricular wall layer thickness in haemodialysis patients.

Clinical focus

A large part of Dr. Sebzeci’s practice concerns metabolic and nutritional health. She evaluates and manages prediabetes, obesity and other metabolic disorders, and provides clinical nutrition guidance as part of overall care. She also sees patients with fatty liver disease and with gastritis, conditions that are often assessed alongside metabolic risk factors. Anaemia is another area of her work, where the aim is to identify the underlying cause before treatment is planned.

Dr. Sebzeci also follows patients with chronic diseases over time and has an interest in geriatric health, which involves reviewing the combined effect of several conditions and medications in older adults. Wellness assessments form part of her general Internal Medicine work, with a focus on identifying health concerns early and supporting long-term management. Care is planned according to each patient’s history, examination findings and test results.

How Dr. Sebzeci works with international patients

Dr. Sebzeci speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who prefer another language. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as laboratory and pathology results, ultrasound, CT or MRI reports, 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 travelling or to follow up after a visit.
