Yaren Kavlak, Child Development Specialist

Yaren Kavlak is a podiatry and foot health specialist practicing at Acibadem Dr. Sinasi Can (Kadikoy) Hospital in İstanbul, Türkiye. She has more than seven years of experience in her field and works with adult patients who need routine or medically indicated foot care, including nail and skin problems of the feet.

Yaren Kavlak graduated in 2019 from Kocaeli University Vocational School of Health Services. In 2023 she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where she continues her clinical work in podiatry. Her practice is focused on the assessment and care of the feet, nails and skin, with attention to the specific needs of different patient groups, such as pregnant women and patients whose foot health is affected by seasonal conditions.

Clinical focus

Her listed areas of expertise include medical foot care, corn care, thickened nail care, deformed nail care and cracked heel care. These services address common and often uncomfortable problems of the feet: corns that form in areas of pressure or friction, nails that have thickened or grown in an irregular shape, and dry, fissured skin on the heels. Care is planned according to the individual findings on examination, and patients are typically given guidance on how to look after their feet between visits.

Yaren Kavlak also provides pregnancy foot care and summer foot care. During pregnancy, changes in weight, posture and circulation can place additional strain on the feet, and appropriate care may help maintain comfort and skin and nail health during this period. Summer foot care concerns the effects of heat, open footwear and increased activity on the skin and nails. In all of these areas, the aim is to assess the current condition of the feet, provide the appropriate care and advise on preventive measures; where findings suggest a problem that requires assessment by another discipline, patients can be directed accordingly.

How Yaren Kavlak works with international patients

Yaren Kavlak speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who need support in other languages. For patients coming from abroad, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and any relevant imaging, arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination of the feet, nails and skin, and a discussion of the available care options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which allows a preliminary conversation about the patient’s foot health concerns before any travel is planned; any hands-on care and a definitive assessment still require an in-person examination.
