These roles reflect experience in general clinical assessment and in the organizational side of hospital care, in addition to day-to-day emergency department work. His professional background can be summarized as follows:

• Emergency Department Physician at two hospitals over more than two decades
• Deputy Chief Physician at Prof.Dr.İ.Özdemir Giresun State Hospital
• Workplace Physician in industrial and occupational health settings
• General Practitioner at a health center at the start of his career

How Dr. Kabagöz works with international patients

Dr. Kabagöz 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 travelling; whether a remote consultation is appropriate depends on the nature of the complaint, since emergency conditions generally require in-person assessment.
