A private practice
Dr Enis Gürsel's clinic in Nilüfer, Bursa, is a private practice. It has no agreement with SGK, the Turkish state social security system, so SGK does not pay for consultations or treatment.
We want to make this clear from the start. If you have private health insurance, please contact your insurer before your appointment to check what is covered. You are welcome to ask us about your insurance and any questions you have when you book.
How do I book?
All consultations are by appointment. To book, call +90 501 201 96 01 or send a WhatsApp message to the same number.
We plan appointments so that each patient has enough time. This means you can explain your problem without being rushed.
What happens during the consultation?
The consultation starts with listening. We talk about when your pain started, what makes it worse, whether it wakes you at night and which treatments you have already tried.
Then Dr Gürsel examines you. If needed, he looks at the painful area with ultrasound during the consultation. This shows tendons, ligaments, muscles and the area around the joint straight away.
- Listening to your problem and your medical history
- Physical examination: range of movement, strength and specific tests
- Ultrasound scan, if needed
- X-ray or MRI request, if needed
- Explaining the diagnosis and the treatment options to you
What should I bring?
Your previous tests can help avoid repeating scans that are not needed. Please bring:
- MRI, X-ray or CT images (on a disc, as a download link, or through e-Nabız, the Turkish online health record) and their reports
- Reports from previous operations and hospital discharge letters
- A list of the medicines you take, especially blood thinners
- Blood test results, if you have them
- Clothes that are easy to take off
Can I have an injection on the same day?
If an injection is suitable after your consultation, in many cases it can be planned for the same day. For this, the diagnosis must be clear and you must have enough information to make a decision.
The procedure may be postponed if you take blood thinners, if your diabetes is not well controlled or if there is an infection in the area. We make this decision together at the consultation.
If you have lived or been treated abroad
Please bring any previous scans and reports, even if they are in another language. Bring the images as well, not only the written report. You can also send them on WhatsApp before your visit, so that we can prepare if a procedure might be done on the same day.
Images sent by message are for information only. The treatment decision is made after your consultation.
Consultations are available in English. If you have private or international health insurance, please ask us about it when you book.
What happens after the consultation?
At the end of the consultation we explain the diagnosis, the treatment options and the possible benefits and risks of each. The right treatment for you is decided after the examination. It may be physiotherapy, an ultrasound-guided injection, radiofrequency treatment or surgery.
We make the decision together, without rushing you. If needed, we arrange a follow-up appointment.
