Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Çubukcuoğlu’s clinical work is the care of metabolic and endocrine conditions. He evaluates and manages type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and prediabetes, and he treats patients with obesity, where the approach is adapted to the individual’s history and goals of treatment. His endocrine practice also includes thyroid disorders and pituitary diseases, among them diabetes insipidus, which requires careful assessment of fluid balance and hormone function before a management plan is agreed.

In the digestive field, he treats Crohn’s disease and colitis as well as chronic pancreatitis. He also sees patients with anemia and Behçet’s disease. In addition, he provides chronic disease management and geriatric health care for older patients whose conditions call for ongoing monitoring, review of medications, and coordination of care over time. Where several conditions coexist, he considers them together so that treatment of one does not adversely affect another.

How Dr. Çubukcuoğlu works with international patients

Dr. Çubukcuoğlu 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, for example MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, 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. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to review their situation with Dr. Çubukcuoğlu before traveling or to follow up after an in-person visit.
