Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Çetin’s practice involves the care of newborns and young infants. This includes the assessment and follow-up of newborn jaundice, routine newborn follow-up visits, and the evaluation of infant colic. She also sees children with iron deficiency and anemia, where the aim is to identify the underlying cause, address it where possible, and monitor the child’s response over time. In children with nutritional concerns, Dr. Çetin provides ongoing monitoring of pediatric nutritional disorders, and she evaluates children whose growth pattern raises questions about growth disorders.

Dr. Çetin also manages common childhood illnesses, including upper respiratory tract illnesses, and the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric infectious diseases. Her approach places emphasis on age-appropriate assessment and on follow-up tailored to each child’s clinical needs, so that families receive clear information about what has been found and what the next steps may involve.

How Dr. Çetin works with international patients

Dr. Çetin 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 medical reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organises 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 that may be appropriate. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their child’s situation before travelling or to arrange follow-up after a visit.
