Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Eren’s work concerns stroke and the preventive treatments that aim to reduce the risk of a first or recurrent stroke. This involves assessing a patient’s history and risk factors, reviewing existing imaging and previous treatments, and discussing which protective measures may be appropriate for the individual. Stroke prevention is listed among his areas of expertise alongside the assessment and follow-up of patients who have already experienced a stroke.

Dr. Eren also evaluates and treats a range of other neurological conditions. These include migraine and other forms of headache, dizziness, trigeminal neuralgia and epilepsy. In the field of cognitive disorders, he assesses patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. In each case the aim is to reach a diagnosis based on the clinical picture and available investigations, and to discuss the treatment options with the patient and, where relevant, family members.

How Dr. Eren works with international patients

Dr. Eren speaks 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 MRI and CT reports, laboratory results, previous neurological assessments and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation with Dr. Eren typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical neurological examination and a discussion of the options that may be considered. Video consultations are available for international patients who wish to discuss their case before deciding whether to travel, or who need follow-up after a visit. Any recommendations made during a consultation depend on the individual findings and may change once further examinations or tests have been completed.
