Clinical focus

The clinical focus of İrfancan Velioğlu is pediatric rehabilitation. Children who need rehabilitation often require an approach that differs from adult care: sessions are planned around the child’s age, developmental stage and ability to participate, and families are usually closely involved in the process. In this setting, rehabilitation is guided by the child’s individual needs and by the treatment plan agreed with the wider clinical team. For further general information on this area, please see the page on Pediatric Physical Therapy.

Care discussions with families are based on the child’s current condition, previous assessments and the goals set for rehabilitation. The scope and duration of a rehabilitation program depend on the individual case, and expectations are discussed in a realistic and cautious way. Where other specialists are involved in the child’s care, rehabilitation is coordinated with their recommendations.

How İrfancan Velioğlu works with international patients

İrfancan Velioğlu speaks 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, for example MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options, with the family taking part in the conversation. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their child’s situation or existing reports before deciding whether to travel, with the understanding that a full assessment requires an in-person examination.
