Moamen Shammoot, MD

Moamen Shammoot, MD is an emergency service specialist at Acibadem Atakent Hospital in İstanbul. He works in the emergency department, where patients present with sudden or acute complaints that require prompt assessment, stabilization and a decision about further care. His clinical work covers a broad range of acute medical and surgical presentations in adults.

Dr. Shammoot received his education at Istanbul University. His current position at Acibadem Atakent Hospital places him within a hospital setting where emergency patients can be assessed and, where needed, referred on to other specialties for continued treatment.

Clinical focus

Dr. Shammoot’s areas of clinical interest reflect the everyday work of an emergency department. He evaluates patients with acute chest pain, where the aim is to identify potentially serious causes early and arrange appropriate tests and follow-up. He assesses and stabilizes patients after trauma, and he is involved in the recognition and triage of stroke, where time to assessment can influence subsequent decisions. Acute respiratory distress and acute abdominal pain are further presentations he evaluates, using the patient’s history, a clinical examination and any relevant investigations to guide the next steps.

His procedural work includes wound care and suturing, the management of fractures and dislocations, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He also manages allergic reactions and anaphylaxis, which may require immediate treatment and observation, and assesses patients presenting with fever or suspected infection. In each case, the emphasis is on careful assessment, stabilization of the patient and a clear plan for further care, whether that is discharge with advice, observation or admission for specialist treatment.

How Dr. Shammoot works with international patients

International patients seen by Dr. Shammoot are supported by the Acibadem international patient team, which 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. The team also arranges appointments and organises 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. Interpreters can be arranged so that patients can describe their symptoms and understand the findings and recommendations in their own language. Because emergency presentations vary widely, the exact course of an assessment depends on the individual patient’s condition and the findings at the time of the visit.
