Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Yavuz’s practice is the assessment and management of thyroid diseases. This work involves reviewing a patient’s symptoms and history, interpreting thyroid function tests and any existing imaging, and discussing the treatment options that may be appropriate for the individual patient. Thyroid disorders can affect many body systems, and follow-up over time is often part of care.

Dr. Yavuz also sees patients with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Care in these conditions generally centers on evaluating blood glucose control, reviewing current medication, and considering long-term management together with the patient. In addition, he assesses patients with obesity, where an internal medicine evaluation may help clarify related metabolic concerns and inform a management plan. As an internal medicine specialist, he approaches these conditions in the context of the patient’s overall health rather than in isolation.

How Dr. Yavuz works with international patients

Dr. Yavuz 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 laboratory results, ultrasound or other imaging reports, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing test results 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. Yavuz before deciding whether to travel.
