Murat Güven, MD

Murat Güven, MD is a pediatrician at Acibadem Atasehir Hospital in İstanbul, where he works in the Pediatrics unit and provides care for infants, children, and adolescents. With more than 35 years in medicine, he sees patients with a broad range of common pediatric concerns, from feeding-related discomfort in early infancy to digestive, urinary, and respiratory complaints in older children and adolescents.

Dr. Güven graduated from the Gülhane Military Medical Academy Faculty of Medicine in 1991 and completed his specialization at the Gülhane Military Medical Academy Department of Child Health and Diseases in 1998. His early career included service with the Hücumbot Filosu from 1991 to 1994. He then worked at Aksaz Deniz Hospital from 1998 to 2004 and at Kasımpaşa Deniz Hospital from 2004 to 2011, followed by ten years at Ataşehir Memorial Özel Hospital (2011–2021) and a period at Ataşehir Medicana Özel Hospital (2021–2022). In 2022 he joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services and Haliç University. He is a member of the Milli Pediatri Association, the Türk Pediatri Association, and the Istanbul Medical Chamber.

Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Güven’s practice involves the digestive complaints of infancy and early childhood. He evaluates infants with colic and gas pain, assesses babies with suspected infant lactose intolerance, and manages childhood constipation. In each case the aim is to identify the likely cause of the child’s discomfort and to guide families on feeding and day-to-day care in a way that is appropriate for the child’s age.

Dr. Güven also assesses children with iron deficiency and anemia, and with urinary findings such as hematuria and urinary incontinence. His experience extends to Kawasaki disease, a condition that requires timely recognition in young children, and to the upper respiratory tract illnesses that are frequent in this age group. More generally, he follows children and adolescents for routine health needs, offering a structured assessment adapted to the child’s stage of development and presenting symptoms.

How Dr. Güven works with international patients

Dr. Güven consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior medical reports, laboratory results, and imaging, 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 available options with the parents or caregivers. Video consultation is available for international patients who would like an initial discussion of their child’s situation or a follow-up conversation before or after travel.
