Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Kara’s work involves the care of newborns and young infants. This includes newborn follow-up visits, newborn screening tests and newborn jaundice treatment, together with guidance for families on common early concerns such as infant colic. He also assesses infants with suspected lactose intolerance and children with rickets, where the evaluation focuses on feeding history, growth and clinical findings before any dietary or medical measures are discussed.

Beyond the newborn period, Dr. Kara’s clinical interests include PFAPA syndrome, a recurrent fever condition of childhood, and Kawasaki disease, which requires careful clinical recognition and follow-up. He also evaluates hematuria in children, working through the possible causes of blood in the urine on the basis of the child’s history, examination and laboratory results. More broadly, his practice addresses child and adolescent health, with assessment tailored to the child’s age, development and individual needs.

How Dr. Kara works with international patients

Dr. Kara speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who prefer another language. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as ultrasound, X-ray, MRI or CT reports, laboratory and pathology results, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options. For families who are not yet able to travel, a video consultation with Dr. Kara can be arranged as an initial step, during which he can review the available documentation and discuss what further assessment may be appropriate.
