Orkun Cem Akyazı, MD

Orkun Cem Akyazı, MD is an Emergency Service physician at Acibadem Kent Hospital (Izmir) in İzmir. His work centers on the assessment and care of patients who require urgent medical attention. In the Emergency Service, he carries out immediate clinical evaluation, establishes what is needed in the short term, and helps determine appropriate next steps for each patient. He has more than seven years in medicine.

Dr. Akyazı graduated from Eskişehir Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine in 2019. He joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2026, where he practices in the Emergency Service. His professional background is in emergency and urgent care, and his day-to-day work involves seeing patients whose symptoms have developed suddenly or worsened and who need to be evaluated without delay.

Clinical focus

Dr. Akyazı’s clinical work covers three closely related areas: emergency assessment, urgent medical care, and immediate clinical evaluation. Emergency assessment refers to the initial review of a patient arriving with an acute complaint, including a focused history, an examination, and a decision about how quickly and in what setting care should proceed. Urgent medical care covers the treatment and monitoring given during the emergency visit itself, together with coordination with other departments of the hospital when a patient’s condition calls for further input. Immediate clinical evaluation describes the process of judging the seriousness of a presentation early, so that time-sensitive problems are recognized promptly.

Because emergency medicine is broad, the range of presentations Dr. Akyazı sees varies from day to day. His role is to evaluate, stabilize, and direct patients, rather than to provide long-term management of a single condition. Where ongoing or specialized treatment is required, the emergency assessment forms the basis for referral to the relevant specialty within the hospital. Patients and their families are given an explanation of the findings and of the reasons behind any recommendation for admission, further tests, or discharge with follow-up.

How Dr. Akyazı works with international patients

Dr. Akyazı speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. For patients coming from abroad, the Acibadem 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, and arranges appointments and organizes 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 discuss their situation before traveling or to follow up afterward. In an emergency setting, however, a video consultation cannot replace in-person evaluation, and patients with acute symptoms should be seen in person.
