Clinical focus

Dr. Paşaoğlu’s clinical work centers on the conditions seen in general otorhinolaryngology. Ear conditions form one part of his practice, and evaluation begins with a detailed history and a clinical examination of the ear before any further steps are considered. Nose conditions are another area of focus; here the aim of the first assessment is to clarify the likely cause of the complaint and to review any earlier findings before treatment is discussed. Throat conditions are assessed within the same framework, with attention to the patient’s symptoms, prior investigations and previous treatments.

In each case, Dr. Paşaoğlu reviews the available reports, explains what the examination shows and discusses the options that may be appropriate for the individual patient. The emphasis is on establishing a clear diagnosis first, so that any recommendation for further investigation or treatment is based on the findings rather than on assumptions. Patients are encouraged to describe how their symptoms developed and what has already been tried, as this information often shapes the direction of the assessment.

How Dr. Paşaoğlu works with international patients

Dr. Paşaoğlu 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, for example 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 options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before travelling or to review findings after an in-person visit. Any plan that follows is discussed with the patient, and the pace of further steps is set according to the clinical picture and the patient’s own circumstances.
