How Dr. Atilla works with international patients

Dr. Atilla 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, such as previous psychiatric or psychological evaluations, laboratory results, discharge summaries and records of earlier treatments, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of any existing reports and previous treatments, a clinical assessment, and a discussion of the possible options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to speak with Dr. Atilla before traveling or for follow-up after a visit, where this is clinically appropriate.
