Mehmet Dolanbay, MD

Mehmet Dolanbay, MD is a specialist in Gynecology & Obstetrics at Acibadem Kayseri Hospital in Kayseri, Turkey. He works within the hospital’s Gynecology & Obstetrics unit, where his practice covers general gynecology, obstetric care and a subspecialty interest in urinary incontinence and bladder health. With more than 24 years in medicine, his work brings together the medical and surgical sides of women’s health, from menstrual disorders and benign gynecologic conditions to gynecologic cancers and complex placental conditions in pregnancy.

Dr. Dolanbay graduated from İnönü University Faculty of Medicine in 2002. He then completed his specialty training at Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2008. Since 2009 he has worked within Acıbadem Healthcare Services, and he currently sees patients in Kayseri. He consults in Turkish and English.

Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Dolanbay’s practice is the evaluation and management of urinary incontinence and other bladder health concerns in women. Assessment typically begins with a detailed history of symptoms and their effect on daily life, followed by a clinical examination and, where appropriate, further testing, so that conservative, medical or surgical options can be discussed on an individual basis. He also sees women with menstrual irregularities, polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis, conditions in which the approach depends on the patient’s symptoms, age and reproductive plans. HPV infection and its follow-up are another part of his gynecologic work.

In gynecologic oncology, Dr. Dolanbay is involved in the care of women with cervical cancer, ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer. He performs hysterectomy when it is indicated for benign or malignant disease, and the decision for surgery is made after reviewing the patient’s findings and discussing the alternatives. On the obstetric side, his areas of expertise include placenta previa and the treatment of placenta accreta, pregnancy-related conditions that call for careful planning of delivery and close coordination of care.

How Dr. Dolanbay works with international patients

Dr. Dolanbay 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 ultrasound, MRI or CT 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 options that may be appropriate. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Dolanbay before deciding whether to travel, with the understanding that some findings can only be confirmed through in-person examination and testing.
