His clinical interests include menstrual irregularities, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menstrual pain, and menopause.

Dr. Özer graduated from Marmara University Faculty of Medicine in 1999.

He has been working at Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2019, and his subspecialty area is menopause.

Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Özer’s practice is devoted to disorders of the menstrual cycle. He assesses women with menstrual irregularities, including cycles that are unusually short, long, heavy, or unpredictable, and looks for possible underlying causes before discussing appropriate management. He also evaluates premenstrual syndrome (PMS), in which physical and emotional symptoms recur in the days before menstruation, and menstrual pain, taking into account the pattern, severity, and impact of symptoms on daily life. The aim of the assessment is to reach a clear understanding of the patient’s symptoms so that the available options can be reviewed on an individual basis.

Dr. Özer’s subspecialty interest is menopause. He provides assessment and care for women approaching or going through the menopausal transition, as well as for those with concerns in the years that follow. This may include a review of symptoms, relevant medical history, and previous treatments, followed by a discussion of the options that may be suitable for the individual patient. Decisions about management are made together with the patient, with attention to her overall health, personal preferences, and any coexisting conditions.

How Dr. Özer works with international patients

Dr. Özer consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as ultrasound, MRI or CT reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation with Dr. Özer typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination where appropriate, and a discussion of the options. International patients can expect a clear, respectful consultation focused on their symptoms, medical history, and individual needs. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Özer before traveling or as a follow-up after a visit, although some assessments may still require an in-person examination.
