Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Okundu’s practice concerns cognitive and movement disorders associated with aging. She evaluates and follows patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, as well as patients with Parkinson’s disease and other ageing-related neurological conditions. Assessment in this area typically involves a careful history, often with input from family members, a neurological examination and a review of available imaging and laboratory results, so that symptoms can be characterized and an appropriate plan for ongoing follow-up can be discussed.

Dr. Okundu also sees patients who have had a stroke and those who may be at risk of one, with attention to preventive stroke care and the management of contributing factors. Her areas of expertise further include headache and migraine, dizziness, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis. For these conditions, her approach focuses on understanding the pattern of symptoms, reviewing previous investigations and treatments, and planning appropriate neurological management over time. Many of these conditions are long-term, and regular follow-up is often part of care.

How Dr. Okundu works with international patients

Dr. Okundu speaks Turkish and English. For patients coming from abroad, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI or CT reports, laboratory results, discharge summaries and records of previous treatments, 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. Interpreters can be arranged when needed. A video consultation is also available for international patients, which may be used for an initial review of a case or for follow-up.
