Menekşe Feyzanur Koral, Dietitian

Menekşe Feyzanur Koral is a dietitian in the Nutrition and Diet Unit at Acibadem Altunizade Hospital in İstanbul. Her practice is centered on nutritional assessment, diet planning and individualized nutrition guidance. The nutrition and diet support she provides is tailored to the individual’s health needs and dietary goals rather than following a single standard approach, and it is delivered within the hospital’s Nutrition and Diet Unit.

She completed her education at Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University in 2025. In the same year, she began working with Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where she took up her current role as a dietitian. She consults in Turkish and English.

Clinical focus

The first element of her work is nutritional assessment. This involves building a picture of the person’s current eating pattern, relevant medical history and any dietary concerns, together with a review of existing reports and laboratory results the patient has brought, so that any subsequent recommendations rest on a clear understanding of the individual situation. Where a patient is receiving treatment for another condition, the assessment also takes that treatment into account.

Diet planning follows from this assessment. A diet plan is prepared to reflect the person’s health needs, dietary goals and day-to-day circumstances, and it may be adjusted over time as those circumstances change. Through individualized nutrition guidance, Menekşe Feyzanur Koral explains the reasoning behind the plan, helps the patient understand how to apply it in everyday life and reviews progress at follow-up. The emphasis throughout is on practical, realistic recommendations that are discussed openly with the patient, with the understanding that nutrition is one part of overall care and that expectations should remain measured.

How Menekşe Feyzanur Koral works with international patients

Menekşe Feyzanur Koral consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the hospital’s international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit so that relevant information is available at the first meeting. 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, which in a nutrition setting means a conversation about the person’s dietary habits, goals and any medical factors that should shape a plan. Video consultation is available for international patients, which can be useful for an initial discussion or for follow-up after a plan has been put in place, although some elements of assessment may still require an in-person visit. Recommendations are made on an individual basis, and any diet plan is revisited as new information becomes available.
