Clinical focus

As an Internal Medicine specialist, Dr. Zabandan sees adult patients with a broad range of medical concerns. Her role includes taking a detailed history, examining the patient, reviewing existing test results, and considering whether further investigations or referral to another specialty are appropriate. Internal medicine also involves the longer-term follow-up of chronic and multisystem conditions, where symptoms may affect several organ systems and require coordinated management.

Conditions that fall within this field and are described on this site include systemic autoimmune and inflammatory disorders such as lupus, Sjogren syndrome, scleroderma and sarcoidosis, as well as infectious diseases such as COVID-19, Lyme disease and typhoid fever. The assessment and any management plan depend on the individual findings, and Dr. Zabandan discusses the available options with each patient after reviewing the clinical picture.

How Dr. Zabandan works with international patients

Dr. Zabandan speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who need support in other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as laboratory and pathology results, MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, 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. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to review their situation with Dr. Zabandan before deciding on travel.
