Farıda Kangarlı, MD

Farıda Kangarlı, MD is a pediatrician at Acibadem Kartal Hospital in İstanbul, where she works within the hospital’s Pediatrics unit. Her practice covers child and adolescent health from the newborn period onward, with an emphasis on routine follow-up, preventive care, and the diagnosis and treatment of common childhood conditions. She has more than 12 years in medicine and sees infants, children, and adolescents, working closely with parents at each stage of a child’s development.

Dr. Kangarlı graduated from Azerbaijan Medical University Faculty of Medicine in 2014. She then completed her specialization at Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine Department of Child Health and Diseases in 2024. In 2025 she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, and she now practices at the Kartal hospital in İstanbul.

Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Kangarlı’s work is well-child follow-up, in which growth, development, and general health are reviewed at regular intervals and families receive guidance on preventive child health. In the newborn period she provides newborn follow-up, coordinates newborn screening tests, and treats newborn jaundice. For infants she evaluates and manages infant colic and gas pain, two common concerns in the first months of life, and advises parents on what to watch for at home and when further assessment may be needed.

Dr. Kangarlı also diagnoses and treats pediatric infectious diseases and upper respiratory tract illnesses in children, including croup. Her approach is to take a careful history, examine the child in an age-appropriate way, and use investigations where clinically indicated, so that treatment can be matched to the individual patient. She places importance on explaining findings and next steps to families in clear terms, so that parents understand the reasoning behind any recommended follow-up or treatment throughout newborn, infant, child, and adolescent care.

How Dr. Kangarlı works with international patients

Dr. Kangarlı 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 and pathology results, ultrasound or X-ray reports, previous newborn screening results, operative notes, and discharge summaries, and it arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and symptoms, a review of existing results and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is also available for international patients who wish to discuss their child’s situation with Dr. Kangarlı before or after a hospital visit.
