Dr. Gökçe Gökkaya

Dr. Gökçe Gökkaya is a specialist in Gynecology & Obstetrics at Acibadem Kartal Hospital in İstanbul, where she works within the Gynecology & Obstetrics unit. Her subspecialty interests are menopause and urogynecology, and her clinical work spans both gynecological conditions and the follow-up of pregnancy and delivery. She has more than seven years in medicine and sees adult women of all ages, including international patients.

Dr. Gökkaya graduated from Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine in 2019.

She joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2026 and currently practices at the Kartal hospital.

Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Gökkaya’s practice is urogynecology, the area of gynecology that deals with bladder health and pelvic floor problems. She assesses and treats urinary incontinence and related bladder complaints, which are usually evaluated through a detailed history and clinical examination before conservative, medical or surgical options are discussed. She also provides menopause care, addressing symptoms that may arise during and after the menopausal transition, and evaluates menstrual irregularities. Her work further includes the diagnosis and management of HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

In obstetrics, Dr. Gökkaya provides pregnancy follow-up and delivery care, accompanying patients through the course of pregnancy and planning for birth. Her surgical and procedural interests include vNOTES scarless surgery, an approach performed through vaginal laparoscopy that avoids abdominal incisions, as well as genital aesthetic procedures such as vaginal tightening and vaginal whitening. As with any intervention, suitability for these procedures depends on an individual assessment, and the expected benefits, limitations and possible risks are discussed with each patient before any decision is made.

How Dr. Gökkaya works with international patients

Dr. Gökkaya consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. For patients traveling from abroad, 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 who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Gökkaya before deciding whether to travel; this is generally most useful for reviewing existing reports and outlining possible next steps, and it does not replace an in-person clinical examination where one is needed.
