Clinical focus

Dr. Köse’s practice is centered on pediatrics, covering the health of children from infancy through adolescence. His work in child health includes the assessment of children who present with symptoms or concerns raised by their families, the interpretation of existing reports and test results, and the planning of further evaluation or follow-up where this is indicated. As with all pediatric care, the approach depends on the age of the child, the history provided by the family and the findings of the clinical examination.

A further part of his practice is adolescent health. Adolescents may have health needs that differ from those of younger children, and Dr. Köse’s subspecialty in Child and Adolescent Health reflects this range. His experience spans a university department, a Ministry of Health children’s hospital and a private clinic, which has involved caring for children and adolescents in both hospital and outpatient settings. The specific options discussed for any individual patient are determined after review of the case, and no particular course of care can be assumed in advance.

How Dr. Köse works with international patients

Dr. Köse speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who prefer another language. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organizes the hospital stay. A first consultation with Dr. Köse typically covers the child’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging, test results and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the possible options with the family. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be used for an initial review of a child’s records or for follow-up discussion, with the understanding that some assessments require an in-person examination.
