Clinical focus

Dr. Ertürk’s clinical work centers on the diagnosis and treatment of metabolic disease, including prediabetes, diabetes, obesity, and fatty liver, together with clinical nutrition and the long-term management of chronic diseases. He evaluates and treats thyroid disorders and pituitary disease, including diabetes insipidus. His practice also covers anemia, Behçet’s disease, and edema, as well as digestive conditions such as gastroenteritis and chronic pancreatitis.

A further area of interest is geriatric health and the age-related health needs of older adults, where assessment often involves several coexisting conditions and medications. Within functional medicine, Dr. Ertürk takes a broader view of factors such as nutrition and metabolic status alongside conventional internal medicine evaluation. Treatment decisions are made after clinical examination and review of laboratory and imaging findings, and depend on the individual patient’s diagnosis and overall health.

How Dr. Ertürk works with international patients

Dr. Ertürk consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior medical reports, laboratory results, 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 available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Ertürk before traveling or as part of follow-up, with the understanding that some assessments require an in-person examination.
