How Dr. İnci works with international patients

Dr. İnci consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and any relevant imaging, arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of previous treatments and existing records, a clinical assessment and a discussion of possible options for mental health, addiction, sleep, sexual health or relationship-related concerns. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before travelling or who require follow-up from abroad.
