Clinical focus

A large part of Dr. Alagöz’s practice is general pediatric care: well-child follow-up, newborn follow-up, newborn screening tests and pediatric nutrition monitoring. These visits are used to assess growth and development at each age, review feeding and nutrition, and identify concerns that may need further evaluation. She also diagnoses and treats pediatric infectious diseases and upper respiratory tract illnesses in children, which are among the most frequent reasons families seek pediatric care.

Her areas of expertise further include childhood iron deficiency and anemia, where assessment typically involves reviewing the child’s history, diet and laboratory results before deciding on treatment and follow-up, and pediatric urinary incontinence, which is evaluated in the context of the child’s age, development and any related symptoms. Her earlier role as a neonatal intensive care unit supervisor informs her work with newborns.

How Dr. Alagöz works with international patients

Dr. Alagöz speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who need them. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as laboratory results, ultrasound reports, previous prescriptions and discharge summaries, arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and symptoms, a review of existing test results and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their child’s situation before traveling or to follow up after a visit.
