Recep Yaver, MD

Recep Yaver, MD is a pediatrician at Acibadem International Hospital in İstanbul, where he works in the Pediatrics unit. His practice covers the medical care of infants, children and adolescents, with a focus on evaluating and managing general pediatric health needs. Dr. Yaver has more than 21 years in medicine and follows an attentive, family-centered approach, adapting his assessment and care plan to the age and clinical needs of each child.

Dr. Yaver graduated from İstanbul University İstanbul Faculty of Medicine in 2005. He then completed his specialist training in pediatrics (Child Health and Diseases) at Dr.Lütfi Kırdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital, finishing in 2010. In 2023 he joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where he continues to practice as a specialist in general pediatrics.

Clinical focus

Dr. Yaver’s clinical work is centered on general pediatrics. He evaluates and manages common childhood illnesses and provides infant care, including the routine assessment of newborns and young children. His practice also extends to adolescent health, addressing the medical needs of older children as they move toward adulthood. Developmental health assessment forms part of his work, with attention to whether a child’s growth and development are progressing as expected and whether further evaluation may be needed.

The main areas of his practice include:

• General pediatrics
• Childhood illnesses
• Infant care
• Adolescent health
• Developmental health assessment
• Pediatric follow-up care

Pediatric follow-up care is an important part of Dr. Yaver’s approach. Children who have been assessed or treated may need to be seen again over time so that their condition, growth and response to any treatment can be reviewed. Where a child’s presentation suggests a problem outside general pediatrics, Dr. Yaver can discuss with the family whether referral to another specialty is appropriate. Families are given clear information about the findings of each assessment and the reasoning behind the proposed plan.

How Dr. Yaver works with international patients

Dr. Yaver 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, such as ultrasound, X-ray, MRI or CT reports, laboratory and pathology results, vaccination records, and discharge summaries or previous treatment notes. The team also 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 family. Video consultation is available for international patients, which can be useful for an initial review of a child’s situation or for follow-up discussions after a visit, although a physical examination may still be required before certain decisions are made.
