Clinical focus

The clinical work of Dr. Göz centers on anesthesiology, which involves the assessment of patients before a procedure, the planning and delivery of anesthesia, and monitoring during and after surgery. Because anesthetic decisions depend on the individual patient, factors such as medical history, current medications, previous anesthetic experiences, and existing test results are considered as part of this assessment. Her expertise also covers reanimation, the branch of the specialty concerned with supporting and restoring vital functions in patients whose condition is unstable.

A further area of her practice is surgical intensive care, which involves the close monitoring and management of patients who require intensive support after surgery. Her professional background additionally includes work in neurological sciences, reflecting her time at the Marmara University Institute of Neurological Sciences. The scope of care that is appropriate in an individual case is determined after a review of the patient’s condition and records; no general statements about outcomes can be made in advance.

How Dr. Göz works with international patients

Dr. Göz speaks 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 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, which may be used as an initial step before an in-person assessment where this is appropriate.
