Clinical focus

Dr. Atınçer’s clinical work is centered on anesthesiology and reanimation. She provides anesthesia care for patients scheduled for surgical and medical procedures, selecting and managing the anesthetic approach in cooperation with the procedural team. A structured pre-anesthesia assessment is part of her practice: before a procedure, she reviews the patient’s medical history, current medications, previous anesthesia experiences, and existing test results in order to identify factors that may influence anesthetic planning and to discuss the approach with the patient.

During procedures, her role includes perioperative monitoring, which involves observing the patient’s vital functions and adjusting anesthetic management as needed throughout care. This attention to comfort and safety continues from preparation before the procedure through monitoring during the procedure itself. As a specialist in anesthesiology and reanimation, she also brings this training to the support of patients whose condition requires close monitoring in the perioperative period.

How Dr. Atınçer works with international patients

Dr. Atınçer speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who prefer to communicate in another language. For international patients, 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 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. In the context of anesthesia care, this stage usually corresponds to the pre-anesthesia assessment, where the patient’s overall health and any previous reactions to anesthesia are discussed so that care can be planned together with the surgical team. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may allow an initial discussion to take place before travel. International patients can expect a structured pre-anesthesia assessment and coordinated care with their surgical team, with Dr. Atınçer supporting them throughout the anesthesia process.
