Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Arıcı’s practice is the diagnosis and medical treatment of metabolic disease. This includes the assessment and treatment of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, as well as the evaluation of patients with obesity and fatty liver disease. These conditions often occur together, and her approach is based on medical treatment and structured follow-up rather than a single intervention.

Dr. Arıcı also focuses on thyroid disease treatment, which is her stated subspecialty, and on the investigation and treatment of anemia. More broadly, she provides chronic disease management for patients who need long-term medical supervision of one or more conditions, and she addresses general wellness within the scope of Internal Medicine. The suitability of any treatment is determined individually after clinical assessment.

How Dr. Arıcı works with international patients

Dr. Arıcı 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 medical reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging, laboratory results and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Arıcı before deciding whether to travel or as part of follow-up.
