Clinical focus

Dr. Coşkun’s work concentrates on the assessment and management of patients who present with urgent and time-sensitive conditions. A central part of his practice is trauma, where the initial evaluation aims to identify injuries that may not be immediately apparent and to establish priorities for further care. He also manages airway obstruction and acute hypoxia, conditions in which a reduced supply of oxygen requires prompt recognition and a structured response.

A further area of interest is environmental emergencies. These include drowning, insect stings, and tick bites, where the clinical picture can range from mild local reactions to more serious systemic effects. In these situations, emergency evaluation typically focuses on the patient’s current symptoms, the circumstances of the exposure or injury, and the identification of features that may indicate a more severe course. Because the appropriate approach depends on the individual presentation, each case is assessed on its own clinical findings.

How Dr. Coşkun works with international patients

Dr. Coşkun consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. For international patients, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments, and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and any previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Coşkun before or instead of travelling, keeping in mind that emergency conditions themselves generally require in-person evaluation.
