Nurşat Erdemli, MD

Nurşat Erdemli, MD is a pediatrician at Acibadem Ankara Hospital in Ankara, where she practices in the Pediatrics unit. With more than 25 years in medicine, she cares for infants, children and adolescents, with an emphasis on nutrition-related conditions and the common digestive and urinary symptoms that bring families to a pediatrician. Her approach centers on assessing each child’s individual needs and discussing appropriate follow-up with the family.

Dr. Erdemli graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine in 2001 and completed her specialization at the Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine Department of Child Health and Diseases in 2006. She has been working with Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2017.

Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Erdemli’s work concerns feeding and digestion in early childhood. She evaluates infant lactose intolerance, infant colic and childhood constipation, conditions in which a careful history of feeding patterns, growth and symptoms is usually the starting point. She also follows children with nutritional disorders, including marasmus and rickets, and monitors their growth and nutritional status over time so that any changes can be recognized and discussed with the family. Where a child has already been investigated elsewhere, existing test results are reviewed alongside the current examination.

Her practice also covers iron deficiency and anemia in children, which may be identified during routine checks or when a child is brought in with a specific concern. In the area of urinary symptoms, she assesses hematuria and urinary incontinence in children, considering which findings warrant further investigation and which can be observed over time. More broadly, Dr. Erdemli provides general child and adolescent health care, including developmental follow-up and guidance for parents on everyday health questions.

How Dr. Erdemli works with international patients

Dr. Erdemli 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 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, with time for parents to raise their own questions. Video consultation is available for international patients, which can be helpful for an initial discussion of a child’s situation or for follow-up after a hospital visit. Any recommendations are based on the individual child’s findings, and further steps are planned according to the child’s needs and the family’s circumstances.
