Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Demir’s practice is the evaluation and treatment of thyroid diseases, which can present with a wide range of symptoms and often require laboratory monitoring and long-term follow-up. She also manages metabolic conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, where treatment planning typically combines medical therapy with attention to lifestyle factors and regular review. Patients with anemia are assessed to identify the underlying cause before treatment is proposed.

Her areas of expertise further include fatty liver disease, gastritis, upper respiratory tract diseases, and Behçet’s disease, a condition that may involve several organ systems and often calls for coordinated follow-up. In addition, Dr. Demir offers wellness consultations and longevity applications, in which a patient’s general health status and risk factors are reviewed and a plan for ongoing monitoring is discussed. The specific approach in each case depends on the individual patient’s findings, history, and preferences.

How Dr. Demir works with international patients

Dr. Demir 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 laboratory results, ultrasound or other imaging reports, pathology results, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing test results and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the available options and any further investigations that may be needed. Video consultations are available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Demir before traveling or as part of follow-up.
