Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Kılınç’s practice is the diagnosis and treatment of metabolic disease. This includes the assessment and management of prediabetes and diabetes, as well as care for people living with obesity. In the area of endocrine conditions, she treats pituitary diseases, including diabetes insipidus, and thyroid diseases. Her approach to these conditions relies on a careful review of symptoms, history and existing test results before treatment options are discussed.

Dr. Kılınç also manages a range of general internal medicine conditions. These include hypertension, anemia, gastroenteritis and other digestive system disorders. Chronic disease management and geriatric health are further areas of her work, with attention to the way several long-term conditions may interact in the same patient, particularly in older adults.

How Dr. Kılınç works with international patients

Dr. Kılınç consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organises 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 that may be appropriate. For patients who are unable to travel initially, or who wish to discuss their situation before making arrangements, video consultation is available. Any recommendation about further testing or treatment depends on the individual clinical picture and is made after the relevant records have been reviewed.
