Questions
Frequently asked questions
The questions asked most often about appointments, the first consultation, the operation and what follows.
How do I make an appointment?
A day is arranged by telephone or WhatsApp. The practice is in Suadiye, Kadıköy, and is easily reached from Erenköy, Caddebostan and the surrounding area.
What should I do if I need to change or cancel my appointment?
Simply let us know on the same telephone number or by WhatsApp. Telling us as early as you can allows the vacated slot to be offered to a waiting patient.
How do I get to the practice, and what about parking?
The practice is on Selvili Sokak in Suadiye, Kadıköy, within walking distance of Bağdat Avenue. It can be reached by public transport from the Marmaray and metrobus connections. There are paid car parks and metered street parking nearby; at busy times we suggest allowing extra time.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Please bring any previous test results, imaging reports and a list of the medicines you take. It is important to mention everything you use, including herbal supplements.
How long does a consultation last?
The first assessment varies with the subject but usually takes 20–30 minutes. Where a decision has to be made, the consultation may last longer.
May I come for a second opinion?
You may. Bringing your reports, imaging and any pathology results with you makes the assessment easier.
Is the decision to operate made at the first consultation?
Most often, no. At the first consultation the complaint, the examination findings and any tests you bring are reviewed, and further imaging or laboratory tests are requested if needed. Whether surgery is required is discussed once the results have been gone through together. There are also cases in which non-operative follow-up or medical treatment is enough.
Where are operations carried out?
Operations requiring anaesthesia take place in the theatre of an affiliated hospital. Consultation, anoscopy and certain procedures that do not require anaesthesia can be carried out at the practice.
How are reviews arranged after an operation?
The first review after discharge is usually arranged to check wound healing; how often the later reviews fall depends on the procedure and the pathology result. The schedule is given to you in writing on discharge. If anything unexpected happens in between, you can reach us by telephone.
Do you accept patients from abroad?
The practice holds the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health International Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate (ST‑5237). We suggest getting in touch in advance so that arrangements can be planned.
Questions specific to particular conditions and procedures are answered in the relevant sections of each service page.
