Clinical focus

A substantial part of Dr. Caneroğlu’s practice involves patients with movement disorders. This includes the assessment and treatment of essential tremor and the long-term care of people living with Parkinson’s disease. He also evaluates and treats patients with neuromuscular diseases, which affect the nerves and muscles and may present with weakness, fatigue or changes in movement and sensation.

Memory and cognitive complaints form another area of his work. Dr. Caneroğlu sees patients with memory loss, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as other age-related neurological conditions. In addition, his clinical interests include epilepsy, dizziness, headache and migraine. In each case, the evaluation is built around the patient’s symptoms, medical history and individual care needs, and treatment options are discussed with the patient once the clinical picture is clear.

How Dr. Caneroğlu works with international patients

Dr. Caneroğlu 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, such as MRI, CT or ultrasound reports, laboratory results, and previous discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical neurological examination and a discussion of the options that may be appropriate. For patients who are unable to travel initially, or who wish to discuss their situation before a visit, a video consultation with Dr. Caneroğlu is available for international patients. Any recommendation following a video consultation may need to be confirmed by an in-person examination.
