Serving since 1991 as one of the Acıbadem group's first hospitals, in the Acıbadem district of the Anatolian side.
Acibadem Dr. Sinasi Can (Kadikoy) Hospital
Acibadem's original campus, in Kadıköy since 1991: high-risk cardiac surgery, adult and paediatric orthopaedics and gynaecologic oncology.
- 109 doctors on staff
Acibadem Dr. Şinasi Can (Kadıköy) Hospital is where the story starts: in service since 1991 in the Acıbadem district of Kadıköy — the neighbourhood that gave the group its name. What began at five thousand square metres grew threefold by 1998 into today’s 17,600 m² campus with 138 beds and 23 intensive-care beds, run by a smart-building system controlled from six and a half thousand points. Its clinical reputation was earned in the theatre: high-risk cardiac surgery, and adult and paediatric orthopaedic operations across the knee, shoulder, spine and hip — with gynaecologic oncology among the specialist floors around them. Every Acıbadem hospital descends from this address; this page covers what the original does today.
What this building is organised around
Thirty-five years of continuous service in one neighbourhood produce a particular kind of hospital: one whose departments grew to match its community’s whole life-cycle, and whose surgical floors kept the hardest habits — the high-risk cardiac cases, the complex joint and spine operations — because the surgeons who take such cases collected here. The campus is not the group’s largest and does not claim to be; it is the group’s origin running at its current standard, a full-service neighbourhood flagship for the Anatolian side’s oldest Acıbadem community, with surgical depth out of proportion to its size.
Quality and safety — the honest frame
The hospital runs on the Acıbadem group’s single quality system — surgical checklists, medication-safety routines, infection control and credentialing audited across the group — with diagnostics through the group’s ISO-accredited laboratory network. Five Acıbadem hospitals in Türkiye hold JCI accreditation (Maslak, Altunizade, Atakent, Kent and Adana); Kadıköy runs on the same protocols those audits examine, and this page says that plainly rather than borrowing a badge. The smart-building system — six and a half thousand monitored points — is the physical layer of the same discipline: a building watched as carefully as its patients.
High-risk cardiac surgery — the earned reputation
The corporate record names it directly: high-risk cardiac surgeries are performed at this campus. The cardiovascular surgery unit guide explains what that category honestly contains — redo operations, poor-ventricle cases, the patients other lists defer — and cardiology carries the diagnostic and interventional work upstream. For a patient weighing where to take a difficult heart, the fact that matters is cultural as much as technical: a theatre team that takes high-risk cases as routine work, inside a system whose intensive care and protocols are audited group-wide.
Orthopaedics — knee, shoulder, spine and hip, adult and paediatric
The campus’s second named depth is the orthopaedic theatre list: knee, shoulder, spine and hip operations for adults and children alike — replacement, arthroscopy and instrumentation, with the unit guide’s scan-first honesty applying in full: alternatives weighed aloud, and the operation not needed is the one not performed. Paediatric orthopaedic surgery is its own discipline — growth plates change every decision — and its presence here alongside the adult range marks the campus’s surgical maturity.
Women’s health, gynaecologic oncology and family medicine
The specialist floors carry gynaecology and obstetrics with gynaecologic oncology among the corporate record’s named services — the cancer surgery of women’s health, planned through the group’s tumour-board method — alongside the everyday whole of a neighbourhood flagship: internal medicine, general surgery, paediatrics, urology, ENT, dermatology and ophthalmology, with same-visit diagnostics through the group’s laboratories and imaging floors.
Technology, honestly framed
The installation matches the role: theatres carrying high-risk cardiac and complex orthopaedic lists, 23 intensive-care beds, modern imaging and the group’s laboratory network, inside a building monitored from six and a half thousand points. The standing rule applies: when a plan genuinely needs a machine this campus does not house — MR-Linac at Maslak, Gamma Knife or Tomotherapy at Altunizade, flagship-scale installations — the coordinators route you there and say why. The original campus taught the group that sentence; it still says it first.
International patients at the original campus
The group’s records-first process applies exactly as at the flagships: reports and imaging reviewed before travel, a written plan and cost estimate, interpreter support (English, Arabic, Russian, German and French routinely), and discharge notes written for the doctor continuing care at home. Kadıköy’s specific draw for a visiting patient is its two named depths — a difficult heart or a complex joint assessed by teams that do such work daily — plus a quieter fact: patients who want the group’s standard on the Anatolian side’s most established campus, in the neighbourhood where the standard was invented.
Getting here
The hospital stands in the Acıbadem district of Kadıköy on Istanbul’s Anatolian side, with the full address, map link and phone in the identity card at the top of this page. Metro and Marmaray lines serve the district from both directions, Sabiha Gökçen is the nearer airport with Istanbul Airport connected by the crossings, and the coordinators arrange transfers for planned visits as standard.
How to decide whether Kadıköy is your hospital
Choose Kadıköy when its named depths match your case — a high-risk cardiac operation, a knee, shoulder, spine or hip surgery for an adult or a child, gynaecologic cancer surgery — or when you live on the central Anatolian side and want the everyday whole of specialist medicine at the group’s original address. Choose a flagship when your case is a programme built on installations only they house — heavy cancer machines, radiosurgery, transplant floors — and expect that routing early, file included. Thirty-five years of neighbourhood trust were built exactly that way.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the hospital called Dr. Şinasi Can (Kadıköy)?
It carries the name of Dr. Şinasi Can together with its district — the Acıbadem neighbourhood of Kadıköy, in service since 1991 and the address where the group’s story began.
Is this really the first Acıbadem campus?
The hospital has served the Acıbadem district since 1991 — the group’s founding era and the neighbourhood that gave it its name; every later campus descends from this address.
How big is the hospital?
17,600 m² — grown threefold from its original five thousand in 1998 — with 138 beds and 23 intensive-care beds.
What is the hospital best known for surgically?
High-risk cardiac surgery, and adult and paediatric orthopaedic operations across the knee, shoulder, spine and hip.
What counts as high-risk cardiac surgery?
Redo operations, poor-ventricle cases and the comorbidity-heavy patients other lists defer — the category the cardiovascular surgery guide explains honestly, taken here as routine work.
Are children’s orthopaedic operations performed here?
Yes — paediatric orthopaedic surgery alongside the adult range, a discipline of its own because growth plates change every decision.
Is the hospital JCI-accredited?
Honestly: the JCI-accredited Acıbadem hospitals in Türkiye are Maslak, Altunizade, Atakent, Kent and Adana; Kadıköy runs on the same group-wide audited protocols with ISO-accredited laboratories behind its diagnostics.
Is there a 24-hour emergency service?
Yes — around the clock at group standard, with theatres and intensive care in the same building.
