Clinical focus

Dr. Alkan’s clinical focus spans routine and preventive pediatric care as well as common acute and chronic conditions of childhood. Healthy child follow-up forms a central part of her practice, including monitoring of growth and development and the evaluation of childhood developmental disorders. In the newborn period she provides newborn follow-up, newborn screening tests, and neonatal jaundice treatment.

Her areas of expertise further include pediatric infectious diseases and pediatric upper respiratory tract infections. She evaluates children who have experienced febrile seizures and manages childhood constipation. In each case, the assessment is guided by the child’s age, medical history, and clinical findings, and the possible approaches are discussed with the family so that decisions can be made together.

How Dr. Alkan works with international patients

Dr. Alkan consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who speak other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as laboratory results, ultrasound or X-ray reports, previous screening results, and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the child’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing test results and any 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 with Dr. Alkan before deciding whether to travel, or for follow-up after a visit.
