How Tuğçe Sütçüoğlu works with international patients

Tuğçe Sütçüoğlu 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, such as laboratory and pathology results, imaging reports, 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 test results and previous treatments, a clinical assessment and a discussion of the dietary options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which can be used for an initial discussion or for follow-up of a nutrition plan after a visit to Acibadem Bodrum Hospital.
