Areas of specialisation and practice
Dr. Öztürk works across a broad range of eye diseases in diagnosis and treatment. His areas of practice and the related information pages:
Approach to patients
Dr. Öztürk’s working principle is to give patients the information they need to make a decision, in a way they can understand: what the condition is, the treatment options, the expected outcome and the possible risks are explained in plain language at the examination. The treatment decision is made together, based on the examination findings and the patient’s living circumstances.
Because the travel situation of patients coming from Elbistan, Afşin, Göksun, Ekinözü and Nurhak is well known, the examination, tests and treatment planning are grouped into the same day as far as possible, and check-up dates are planned with the travel time in mind. For details, see the patients from Elbistan and the surrounding area page.
