Clinical focus

Dr. Kaplan’s clinical work covers both gynecology and obstetrics. In gynecology, she sees women with menstrual pain and menstrual irregularities, as well as concerns related to menopause. A particular area of interest is urinary incontinence and bladder health, where assessment focuses on the type and pattern of symptoms before treatment options are discussed. She also provides treatment for sexual dysfunction, an area that often calls for careful history-taking and a discussion of possible contributing factors. Management plans are tailored to each patient after a clinical evaluation, and not every option is suitable in every case.

In obstetrics, Dr. Kaplan offers pregnancy follow-up, monitoring the health of mother and baby over the course of the pregnancy and discussing plans for delivery. She attends childbirth, including cesarean delivery when this is indicated, and also supports water birth for women for whom this approach is considered appropriate. The choice of delivery method is discussed with the patient in light of her medical history and the course of the pregnancy.

How Dr. Kaplan works with international patients

Dr. Kaplan 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 and imaging, 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. Video consultation is available for international patients and may be used to review existing reports and discuss possible next steps before any travel is planned; a final assessment generally depends on an in-person clinical examination.
