Yunus Öztürk, MD

Yunus Öztürk, MD is an emergency medicine physician who works in the Emergency Service at Acibadem Adana Hospital in Adana, Türkiye. He has 3+ years of experience in medicine and cares for patients who arrive with acute, time-critical problems, including injuries, burns, poisoning and emergencies caused by the environment or by contact with animals and insects. His role in the emergency department covers the initial assessment of the patient, stabilization and the emergency interventions that acute presentations may require.

Dr. Öztürk graduated from Mustafa Kemal University Faculty of Medicine in 2023. He joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2024 and has practiced in Adana since then. He speaks Turkish and English, which allows him to communicate directly with many patients who come from abroad.

Clinical focus

The core of Dr. Öztürk’s work is the emergency assessment and treatment of trauma. This includes the structured evaluation of injured patients, the identification of injuries that need urgent attention and the interventions that follow. Burn treatment is a further area of his practice, from the first assessment of the extent and depth of a burn to the initial wound care and the decisions about what further treatment may be needed. He also handles toxicology cases, in which a patient presents after exposure to a medication, chemical or other toxic substance, and where the priority is to recognize the exposure, support the patient and limit its effects.

Environmental emergencies form another part of his caseload. These include drowning, acute hypoxia and airway obstruction, situations in which securing the airway and restoring oxygen delivery are the first steps. He also treats bee stings and tick bites, which range from mild local reactions to conditions that require urgent treatment. Across these presentations his approach follows the principles of emergency medicine: rapid triage, stabilization of the patient, targeted treatment and, where appropriate, referral to the relevant specialty for ongoing care. The full list of conditions and procedures he treats appears in the expertise grid on this profile.

How Dr. Öztürk works with international patients

Dr. Öztürk consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. For patients who travel to Adana, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example 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 current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which gives a patient a way to speak with Dr. Öztürk about a completed or ongoing course of treatment before deciding whether to travel. Because emergency conditions by their nature require immediate in-person care, a video consultation is suited to reviewing reports and discussing follow-up rather than to treating an acute event.
