Clinical focus

The clinical focus of Dr. Gulagız is emergency medical care. Her work involves the assessment of patients who present to the emergency service with an immediate clinical need, the initial evaluation of their condition and the planning and delivery of emergency treatment. In this setting, care is organized around the patient’s immediate clinical situation rather than around a single organ system or a predefined list of conditions, and the emergency service physician works together with other departments of the hospital when further specialist input or admission is required.

For international patients, this means emergency-focused medical evaluation and care at Acibadem Dr. Sinasi Can (Kadikoy) Hospital, with communication and treatment planning tailored to the patient’s immediate clinical needs. Where a patient’s situation requires ongoing or specialist follow-up after the emergency assessment, Dr. Gulagız can guide the patient toward the appropriate department within the hospital. The scope of any assessment or treatment depends on the individual clinical presentation and is determined during the examination.

How Dr. Gulagız works with international patients

Dr. Gulagız speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who prefer to communicate in another language. 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 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; this may be suitable for a preliminary review of an existing situation or of previous reports, while the assessment and treatment of an acute emergency itself takes place in person at the hospital. Any recommendations given during a consultation are based on the individual case, and the appropriate next steps are decided together with the patient after the clinical evaluation has been completed.
