Dr. Candaş graduated from Ankara University Faculty of Medicine in 2012.

Clinical focus

The core of Dr. Candaş’s practice is anesthesia care. This involves reviewing a patient’s medical history and current condition before a procedure, planning the anesthetic approach with the treating team, and providing anesthesia and monitoring during the procedure itself. The aim is to keep the patient safe and comfortable while the procedure takes place and in the period immediately afterwards. The specific approach depends on the type of procedure, the patient’s overall health and any existing medical conditions, and is decided on an individual basis.

Her second area of focus is intensive care, which forms part of the broader field of anesthesiology and reanimation. In the intensive care unit, she is involved in the care of patients whose condition requires close monitoring and organ support, for example after major surgery or during a serious illness. This work is carried out together with the other physicians and nursing staff responsible for the patient, and the course of treatment is adjusted as the patient’s condition develops.

How Dr. Candaş works with international patients

Dr. Candaş consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. 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 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. For international patients who are planning a procedure that will involve anesthesia or a stay in intensive care, this information helps the anesthesia team to assess the patient’s general health and any relevant risk factors in advance, so that the anesthetic and intensive care plan can be prepared with the treating specialists. Video consultation is available for international patients, which can be used for an initial discussion or to review reports before travel; the extent to which questions can be answered remotely depends on the information available and the nature of the planned treatment.
