Clinical focus

Dr. Abbasov’s practice covers the general health of children from the newborn period through adolescence. A significant part of his work is preventive: well-child follow-up visits allow growth, development and general health to be reviewed at regular intervals, while newborn follow-up focuses on the early weeks and months of life, when feeding, weight gain and adaptation after birth are monitored closely. He also sees children and adolescents for broader health concerns that arise as they grow.

Among the conditions he evaluates are constipation in children, which is a frequent reason for pediatric consultation and is assessed through the child’s history, diet and examination before a management plan is discussed with the family. He also works with pediatric nutritional disorders, where feeding patterns, growth measurements and any underlying causes are considered together. In pediatric infection diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Abbasov assesses common childhood infections, decides which investigations are appropriate and advises families on treatment and follow-up. In each of these areas the approach is age-appropriate and tailored to the individual child, and the plan is reviewed as the child develops.

How Dr. Abbasov works with international patients

Dr. Abbasov consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports, including any imaging such as ultrasound or X-ray reports, laboratory results, growth records and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation with Dr. Abbasov typically covers the child’s medical and developmental history, current symptoms or concerns, a review of previous test results and treatments, a clinical examination of the child, and a discussion of the possible next steps with the parents or caregivers. Where appropriate, follow-up visits are planned according to the child’s age and needs. Video consultation is available for international patients, which can be useful for an initial discussion of a child’s history and existing reports, or for follow-up after a visit, although a physical examination of the child remains an important part of pediatric assessment.
