Esra Sadık Ozmen, MD

Esra Sadık Ozmen, MD is a pediatrician at Acibadem Taksim Hospital in İstanbul, where she practices within the hospital’s Pediatrics unit. Her work is centered on common health concerns of infancy and childhood, including constipation, upper respiratory tract infections, and the group of childhood illnesses that present with a rash, such as chickenpox, measles, rubella, and scarlet fever. She has more than six years of experience in medicine.

Dr. Ozmen graduated from Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine in 2020. She then completed her specialty training in Child Health and Diseases at Health Sciences University İstanbul Training and Research Hospital Department of Child Health and Diseases, finishing in 2026. In the same year she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services.

Clinical focus

A substantial part of Dr. Ozmen’s clinical work involves everyday pediatric complaints. Pediatric constipation is one of them: she reviews the child’s bowel habits, diet, and general development in order to distinguish functional constipation from less common causes and to plan a suitable approach together with the family. Upper respiratory tract infections in children are another frequent reason for consultation. Her evaluation is directed at identifying the likely cause, judging the severity of symptoms, and advising parents on supportive care and on the signs that would warrant a further review.

Dr. Ozmen also sees children with rash illnesses. These include chickenpox, measles, rubella, and scarlet fever, conditions in which the appearance and distribution of the rash, together with fever and other accompanying symptoms, guide the diagnosis. Because several of these infections can look similar in their early stages, a careful history and clinical examination are central to her assessment. Where appropriate, she discusses with parents how the illness is expected to progress, how discomfort can be eased, and which complications should prompt a return visit.

How Dr. Ozmen works with international patients

Dr. Ozmen 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 and imaging, such as laboratory results, X-ray or ultrasound reports, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. 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 for further evaluation and care. For families who are not able to travel immediately, a video consultation for international patients is also available, which can be used to discuss the child’s situation and to consider whether an in-person assessment is needed.
