Maşallah Candemir, MD is a specialist in Pediatrics with more than three years of experience in medicine. He practices within the Pediatrics unit of Acibadem Health Group, which he joined in 2023. His listed area of expertise is preventive pediatric care, an approach that focuses on the ongoing follow-up of a child’s health and development rather than on a single disease or intervention.

Dr. Candemir graduated from Dokuz Eylul University Faculty of Medicine in 2001. He then completed his specialty training in Pediatrics at Pamukkale University Faculty of Medicine in 2008. Since 2023 he has worked as a pediatrician at Acibadem Health Group, where he sees children and their families for routine pediatric care.

Clinical focus

The area of expertise listed for Dr. Candemir is preventive pediatric care. In general terms, this branch of pediatrics is concerned with keeping children healthy over time. It typically involves regular check-ups at age-appropriate intervals, monitoring of growth and development, and guidance for parents on matters that arise during infancy, childhood and adolescence. The aim is to recognize potential concerns early and to discuss them with the family before they become established problems.

Because preventive care is built around the individual child, the content of each visit depends on the child’s age, history and current condition. Dr. Candemir reviews the information available about the child, examines the patient and discusses with the parents what follow-up may be appropriate. Where a finding requires further assessment or treatment outside the scope of preventive care, this is discussed with the family so that the next steps can be planned in a considered manner.

How Dr. Candemir works with international patients

Dr. Candemir speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who prefer to communicate in another language. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as laboratory and pathology results, ultrasound, X-ray, MRI or CT reports, discharge summaries and any previous treatment records, and arranges the appointment and hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and symptoms, a review of existing reports and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options with the parents. Video consultation is available for international patients, which allows families abroad to speak with Dr. Candemir before travelling and to clarify what documents may be useful to bring to an in-person visit.
