Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Şen’s practice concerns the newborn period. He carries out newborn follow-up, evaluates and manages newborn jaundice, and provides guidance on newborn screening tests. He also assesses infants with colic and supports families through the early months of life.

For older children and adolescents, Dr. Şen provides well-child follow-up, including monitoring of growth and development and evaluation of growth and developmental disorders. He oversees childhood nutrition monitoring and diagnoses and treats common childhood infectious diseases, including upper respiratory tract illnesses. His approach to child and adolescent health places emphasis on regular follow-up so that changes in a child’s growth, development, or general health can be identified and addressed as they arise.

How Dr. Şen works with international patients

Dr. Şen speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who need them. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as ultrasound reports, laboratory results, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and symptoms, a review of existing test results and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss a child’s condition or review findings before or after traveling.
