Clinical focus

A large part of Dr. Batmacı’s work involves the medical treatment of common internal medicine conditions. This includes the assessment of anemia, where the aim is to identify the underlying cause and plan appropriate medical treatment, and the management of hypertension, which typically involves reviewing blood pressure readings, existing medication and associated health risks. She also follows patients with chronic diseases that require ongoing monitoring and adjustment of treatment over time, and she evaluates and treats upper respiratory tract diseases.

Another area of her practice is the digestive organs. Dr. Batmacı sees patients with liver diseases, including fatty liver disease and liver failure, as well as pancreatic diseases and biliary tract diseases. In these cases, a consultation generally focuses on interpreting laboratory results and imaging, clarifying the diagnosis and discussing medical treatment options. Where a condition falls outside the scope of internal medicine, findings are discussed so that the patient understands the next steps in their care.

How Dr. Batmacı works with international patients

Dr. Batmacı consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the 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 with Dr. Batmacı 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. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling or who need follow-up after returning home.
