Clinical focus

His clinical work centers on child and adolescent health and on well-child follow-up, in which growth, development, and general health are monitored over time.

In the area of allergy, he manages pediatric asthma and pediatric food allergies, working with families on diagnosis, treatment planning, and ongoing follow-up.

Dr. Göğebakan also sees infants and children with digestive and feeding concerns. This includes the evaluation and management of infant colic and pediatric constipation, as well as the monitoring of pediatric nutritional disorders, where a child’s intake, growth, and nutritional status are reviewed at regular intervals. Care is adapted to the child’s age, symptoms, and stage of development, and families are involved in decisions about treatment and follow-up.

How Dr. Göğebakan works with international patients

Dr. Göğebakan 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, arranges appointments, and organises 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, which may be useful for an initial review of a child’s records or for follow-up after a hospital visit.
