Clinical focus

A large part of Dr. Yenidünya’s practice concerns metabolic and endocrine conditions. He evaluates and manages thyroid disorders, type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, and he follows patients with obesity and hypertension, often as part of the long-term care of chronic diseases. His areas of expertise also include diabetes insipidus, a condition that requires careful assessment to distinguish it from other causes of excessive thirst and urination.

In gastroenterology-related internal medicine, Dr. Yenidünya cares for patients with Crohn’s disease and colitis, as well as gastroenteritis. He also sees patients with Behçet’s disease, upper respiratory tract diseases and other common acute conditions. Geriatric health is a further area of interest, and he provides ongoing care for older adults who may live with several chronic conditions at the same time. In each case, the approach is based on the patient’s history, examination findings and existing test results, with treatment options discussed according to the individual situation.

How Dr. Yenidünya works with international patients

Dr. Yenidünya 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 and imaging, such as laboratory and pathology results, ultrasound, MRI or CT reports, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. 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 available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Yenidünya before deciding whether to travel, or who need follow-up after a visit to Bursa.
