Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sinan Kırım

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sinan Kırım is an endocrinology specialist working in the Endocrinology & Metabolism unit at Acibadem Adana Hospital in Adana. His clinical work covers endocrinology, metabolic diseases and internal medicine, and he has spent more than 32 years in medicine. He holds the academic title of associate professor.

Dr. Kırım graduated from Ankara University Faculty of Medicine in 1994. He then completed specialty training in Internal Medicine at Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine in 2000 and went on to complete training in Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases at the same institution in 2005. This sequence of training, first in general internal medicine and then in a hormonal and metabolic subspecialty, forms the basis of his current clinical practice. He has been working with Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2020.

Clinical focus

Dr. Kırım’s practice is centered on endocrinology, the branch of medicine concerned with hormone-producing glands and the disorders that arise when hormone levels are higher or lower than expected. Endocrine conditions are often long-term and may involve more than one organ system, so assessment typically includes a review of symptoms, laboratory results and, where relevant, imaging before a treatment plan is discussed. His background in internal medicine supports this broader view of the patient, particularly when an endocrine problem coexists with other medical conditions.

Metabolic diseases form the second main area of his work. These are conditions that affect how the body processes energy, sugars and fats, and their management commonly combines lifestyle measures, medication and monitoring over time. Patients who wish to read more about how related conditions are approached at the hospital can consult the pages on thyroid disease treatment and metabolic syndrome treatment, which describe the general diagnostic and treatment pathways.

How Dr. Kırım works with international patients

Dr. Kırım 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 and pathology results, ultrasound, MRI or CT reports, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. 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. Video consultation is available for international patients who would like to discuss their situation with Dr. Kırım before traveling or as part of follow-up after a visit.
