Ceren Hande Seyyar, MD

Ceren Hande Seyyar, MD is a pediatrician in the Pediatrics unit at Acibadem Kent Hospital (Izmir) in İzmir. Her practice covers the care of newborns, infants, children, and adolescents, with an emphasis on routine health monitoring in the first years of life and the evaluation of common childhood illnesses. Families see her for newborn follow-up, well-child visits, and the assessment of feeding, growth, and infection-related concerns.

Dr. Seyyar completed her secondary education at Robert Koleji between 2006 and 2011. She graduated from Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University Faculty of Medicine in 2017 and went on to train in the Ege University Faculty of Medicine Department of Child Health and Diseases, completing her specialization in 2023. She has been part of Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2024. She speaks Turkish and English.

Clinical focus

A substantial part of Dr. Seyyar’s work concerns the newborn period. This includes newborn follow-up after discharge, newborn screening tests, and the evaluation of newborn jaundice. She also sees infants with lactose intolerance and infant colic, where the assessment typically centers on feeding history, growth, and the pattern of symptoms described by parents. Well-child care and child and adolescent health more broadly form the framework for her routine visits, in which growth, development, and nutrition are reviewed at age-appropriate intervals.

Her other areas of expertise include childhood infectious diseases, upper respiratory tract infections in children, and croup. She also evaluates pediatric nutrition disorders and iron deficiency and anemia in children, where laboratory results are interpreted alongside dietary history and clinical findings. Recommendations are made on an individual basis after examination, and follow-up is arranged according to the child’s age and the condition under review.

How Dr. Seyyar works with international patients

Dr. Seyyar consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who speak other languages. Before the visit, the hospital’s international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports, such as laboratory results, growth records, ultrasound or other imaging reports, and discharge summaries from previous care, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing test results and any previous treatment, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options that may be appropriate. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss a child’s case with Dr. Seyyar before traveling, or to follow up after a visit; whether an in-person examination is needed is decided on a case-by-case basis.
