Burcu Solmaz, MD

Burcu Solmaz, MD is a pediatrician at Acibadem Atasehir Hospital in İstanbul, where she works in the Pediatrics unit. She provides care for infants, children and adolescents and has more than 11 years in medicine. Her clinical work is centered on the common concerns that bring families to a pediatrician, ranging from feeding and digestive complaints in babies to respiratory illnesses, urinary symptoms and blood-related findings in older children.

Dr. Solmaz graduated from Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine in 2015. Between 2016 and 2020 she completed her specialization in Child Health and Diseases at İstanbul Training and Research Hospital, finishing her training in 2020 at the Health Sciences University İstanbul Training and Research Hospital Department of Child Health and Diseases. From 2021 to 2022 she worked at Bursa Mustafakemalpaşa Devlet Hospital as part of her compulsory service (Mecburi Hizmet). She joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2022. She is a member of the İstanbul Medical Chamber.

Clinical focus

A large part of Dr. Solmaz’s practice involves infants and young children. She assesses babies with lactose intolerance, infant colic and gas pain, and she evaluates childhood constipation, a frequent reason for pediatric visits. She also sees children with iron deficiency and anemia, where the assessment typically looks at diet, growth and laboratory findings before any treatment is discussed.

Dr. Solmaz evaluates children with hematuria (blood in the urine) and urinary incontinence, conditions that may have several possible causes and are approached step by step. She manages upper respiratory tract illnesses in children and assesses children with suspected or confirmed measles. More broadly, her work covers child and adolescent health, including general check-ups and the follow-up of a child’s growth and development from infancy through the teenage years.

How Dr. Solmaz works with international patients

Dr. Solmaz 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, such as laboratory results, imaging reports, previous prescriptions and discharge summaries, and arranges the appointment and hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing test results and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the possible next steps with the family. Video consultation is available for international families who wish to discuss their child’s situation with Dr. Solmaz before traveling or as part of follow-up.
