İmre Gökyar, MD

İmre Gökyar, MD is a pediatrician at Acibadem Fulya Hospital in İstanbul, where she works in the Pediatrics unit and provides care for infants, children, and adolescents. With more than 36 years in medicine, her practice covers child and adolescent health in a broad sense, including common infectious illnesses of childhood, nutritional concerns such as iron deficiency, and urinary and digestive complaints that are frequently seen in everyday pediatric practice.

Dr. Gökyar graduated from İstanbul University İstanbul Faculty of Medicine in 1990 and completed her specialization in Pediatrics at İstanbul Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital in 1995. She worked as a pediatrics specialist at Private Avrupa Hospital from 1993 to 1994 and at Private Levent Hospital from 1994 to 2017, and between 2011 and 2015 she also held a pediatrics specialist position at Or – Ahayim Private Balat Hospital. In 2017 she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services.

Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Gökyar’s work concerns childhood iron deficiency and anemia, which she evaluates in the context of the child’s diet, growth, and general health. She also assesses hematuria in children and urinary incontinence in children, both of which may require a careful history and laboratory work-up before any conclusions are drawn about the underlying cause. In infants, she sees families presenting with infant colic and gas pain, conditions that are common in the first months of life and that she evaluates through examination and discussion of feeding and daily routines.

Her practice further includes upper respiratory tract illnesses in children and the classic childhood exanthems: measles, rubella, and scarlet fever. In these cases, Dr. Gökyar focuses on recognizing the illness, distinguishing it from other causes of fever and rash, monitoring for complications, and advising parents on care at home and on when further review is needed. Across all of these areas, her approach is grounded in general child and adolescent health, taking the child’s developmental stage into account when interpreting symptoms and planning follow-up.

How Dr. Gökyar works with international patients

Dr. Gökyar 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, ultrasound reports, and discharge summaries from earlier care, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing reports and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options that may be appropriate. Video consultation is available for international patients, which can be used for an initial review of a child’s case or for follow-up discussion where a physical examination is not immediately required.
