Clinical focus

Dr. Yarımay’s areas of expertise include advanced life support, intensive care treatment, and palliative care. Advanced life support refers to the structured management of patients whose breathing or circulation is failing and who need immediate, coordinated intervention. Intensive care treatment involves the close monitoring and support of patients with serious or unstable conditions, including patients recovering from major surgery or experiencing severe illness. The level and duration of intensive care support depend on the individual patient’s condition and are reviewed continuously by the treating team.

Palliative care focuses on relieving symptoms and supporting comfort for patients with serious or life-limiting illnesses. In this area, anesthesiologists contribute their knowledge of pain and symptom management and work together with other specialists to address the patient’s needs. Dr. Yarımay’s role in each of these settings is shaped by the patient’s medical situation and by the requirements of the broader clinical team, and any plan of care is developed after a careful assessment of the individual case.

How Dr. Yarımay works with international patients

Dr. Yarımay speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior medical documents before a visit, including imaging reports such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes, and discharge summaries. The team also arranges appointments and organizes 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 examination, and a discussion of the available options. For patients who are considering treatment in Kayseri, a video consultation can be arranged as an initial step so that the patient’s situation and records can be reviewed before travel. Any recommendations made during a video consultation are preliminary and are confirmed after an in-person assessment.
