Clinical focus

Dr. Babayeva’s practice covers the everyday concerns of child and adolescent health as well as conditions that call for careful evaluation. She assesses and manages infant colic, upper respiratory tract illnesses in children, and urinary incontinence in children, and she evaluates hematuria (blood in the urine), a finding that can have a range of causes and generally requires a structured work-up. She also sees children with constipation and with iron deficiency and anemia, where assessment typically includes a review of diet, growth, and laboratory results before a management plan is discussed with the family.

A further area of her work is childhood rash illnesses. Dr. Babayeva evaluates children with chickenpox, measles, and rubella, and she is involved in the recognition and management of Kawasaki disease, an inflammatory condition in children that presents with fever and rash and for which timely assessment is important. In each case, the approach is tailored to the child’s age, symptoms, developmental stage, and overall health needs.

How Dr. Babayeva works with international patients

Dr. Babayeva consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments, and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging, laboratory results, and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the available options with the parents or caregivers. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their child’s situation before traveling or as part of follow-up, where clinically appropriate.
