Clinical focus

Fzt. Kezban Ataş assesses and treats a range of conditions involving the muscles, nerves and spine. Her areas of expertise include myopathy, myalgia, neuromuscular disorders and restless legs syndrome, as well as fibromyalgia, a condition in which rehabilitation and pain management are often combined. She also works with patients who have neck disc herniation and loss of cervical lordosis, and she provides pain management as part of a broader rehabilitation plan. Manual therapy is one of the techniques she uses in appropriate cases.

A further part of her practice involves lymphedema treatment and lipedema treatment, both of which typically require a structured, longer-term rehabilitation approach. She also cares for children with spasticity, where treatment is planned around the child’s functional needs and development. In each case, the goals and content of rehabilitation are adapted to the individual patient after a clinical assessment.

How Fzt. Kezban Ataş works with international patients

Fzt. Kezban Ataş 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, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes 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 imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options. For international patients, the assessment focuses on symptoms, functional needs and rehabilitation goals. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling or as part of follow-up.
