Clinical focus

Dr. Kuşku’s areas of expertise are pediatric care, child health and adolescent health. His work covers the general medical care of infants and children as well as the health concerns that arise during adolescence, a period in which physical and developmental changes call for an age-appropriate approach. Within the Child and Adolescent Health subspecialty, he assesses young patients with attention to the concerns that are specific to their age group and discusses findings and options with parents and guardians in a clear and measured way.

Care for a child or adolescent typically begins with an understanding of the patient’s history, current symptoms and any previous evaluations or treatments. Where earlier reports or test results exist, these are reviewed as part of the assessment so that any further steps can be considered in context. Dr. Kuşku’s approach is to involve families in decisions about their child’s care and to explain the reasoning behind any recommendations, recognizing that each child’s situation is individual and that the appropriate course depends on the clinical findings.

How Dr. Kuşku works with international patients

Dr. Kuşku consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who speak other languages. For international families, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as ultrasound, X-ray, MRI or CT reports, laboratory results and discharge summaries, arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. 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 options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their child’s situation before deciding whether to travel, or to follow up after a visit. Any recommendation made during a video consultation is based on the information available at that time and may need to be confirmed by an in-person examination.
