Clinical focus

Dr. Coşkun provides general pediatric care for infants, children and adolescents. A central part of his practice is preventive and routine care: well-child follow-up, newborn follow-up, and the monitoring of growth and nutrition, including the follow-up of pediatric nutritional disorders. In the newborn period he assesses and manages newborn jaundice and offers guidance on infant colic. He also evaluates children with developmental disorders and coordinates their ongoing follow-up.

In acute pediatric care, Dr. Coşkun diagnoses and treats upper respiratory tract infections and other pediatric infectious diseases. He also investigates and manages iron deficiency and anemia in children, which may present with fatigue, pallor or poor appetite and is typically confirmed with laboratory testing before treatment is planned. Care is adjusted to the age, history and individual needs of each child, and families are involved in decisions about monitoring and treatment.

How Dr. Coşkun works with international patients

Dr. Coşkun consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who speak other languages. Before a visit, the hospital’s international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as laboratory results, growth records, ultrasound or X-ray reports, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. 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 possible options and the recommended follow-up. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss a child’s case or existing reports before deciding whether to travel.
