Clinical focus

Ebubekir Korkmaz works in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation, with spine health as his subspecialty area. His day-to-day work centers on rehabilitation care and spine-related care. In practice this means supporting patients whose complaints or functional limitations are linked to the spine, and contributing to rehabilitation programs that are planned according to each patient’s clinical picture. Rehabilitation of this kind is typically delivered as part of a team approach, in coordination with the physicians and other clinicians responsible for the patient’s diagnosis and overall treatment plan.

Because spine-related complaints and rehabilitation needs vary widely, the appropriate approach depends on the individual assessment of each patient, including any existing diagnoses, imaging findings and previous treatments. Patients whose condition involves persistent pain may also wish to read the general information on chronic pain treatment available on this site, which describes the broader range of services offered rather than the work of any single clinician.

How Ebubekir Korkmaz works with international patients

Ebubekir Korkmaz speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who need support in other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and organizes 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, so that a rehabilitation plan can be considered on the basis of the patient’s actual situation. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be useful for an initial review of reports and for discussing whether an in-person assessment in Kayseri is appropriate. Any recommendations made remotely are provisional and are confirmed only after a clinical examination in person.
