Clinical focus

Dr. Yılmaz’s areas of expertise reflect the range of urgent situations seen in an emergency department, particularly in a coastal setting. He assesses and manages patients presenting after trauma, where the initial priority is a structured evaluation of injuries and the patient’s overall condition. His work also covers bee stings and tick bites, in which the clinical picture can range from a local reaction to a more significant systemic response that requires prompt recognition and monitoring.

A further part of his practice involves drowning emergencies, acute hypoxia and airway obstruction emergencies. In these situations, breathing and oxygenation are evaluated urgently and the patient is monitored closely while the cause is identified and addressed. Because the course of such conditions can change quickly, care in the emergency setting is guided by the patient’s presentation at the time and adjusted as the clinical situation evolves. Dr. Yılmaz’s experience across several hospital-based emergency departments, as well as his period as a team physician in professional football, informs his approach to acute and injury-related presentations.

How Dr. Yılmaz works with international patients

Dr. Yılmaz consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem 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 who wish to discuss their situation before traveling or as part of follow-up, with the understanding that emergency conditions themselves require in-person assessment.
