Clinical focus

Dr. Öncü’s areas of expertise include newborn follow-up and child and adolescent health, with assessment of growth and developmental disorders in children. He evaluates and manages pediatric infectious diseases, including upper respiratory tract infections in children, and addresses pediatric nutrition disorders, iron deficiency and anemia in children, lactose intolerance in infants, and infant colic.

He also sees children with gastrointestinal and urinary complaints, including constipation in children, hematuria in children, and urinary incontinence in children. Care is planned according to the child’s age, symptoms, and clinical findings, and follow-up is arranged as needed. Diagnosis and treatment planning are discussed with the family so that they understand the assessment and the options being considered.

How Dr. Öncü works with international patients

Dr. Öncü speaks 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—for example ultrasound or X-ray reports, laboratory results, 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 imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss a child’s case before or instead of traveling to Adana.
