Clinical focus

Dr. Bari’s practice covers child and adolescent health from the newborn period onward. She carries out newborn follow-up and healthy child follow-up, which typically includes monitoring growth and development over time. She also evaluates child developmental disorders and childhood nutritional disorders, and she assesses and manages infant colic and constipation in children. Children with iron deficiency and anemia are evaluated in the context of their diet, growth, and overall health, with follow-up as needed.

A further part of her work involves pediatric infectious diseases. This includes upper respiratory tract infections in children, croup, and chickenpox. Her approach is based on age-appropriate assessment, follow-up, and guidance for families on preventive care and on common childhood health concerns. The specific assessment and management plan depends on each child’s age, symptoms, and medical history.

How Dr. Bari works with international patients

Dr. Bari 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, such as laboratory results, ultrasound or X-ray reports, previous clinical notes, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and symptoms, a review of any existing tests and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options with the family. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be used for an initial discussion or for follow-up where a physical examination is not required.
