Dr. Ersoy has more than 34 years in medicine, and her practice covers the period from the newborn stage through later childhood, including well-child visits and the assessment of both acute and ongoing health concerns.

Dr. Ersoy graduated from İstanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine in 1992. Between 1992 and 1997 she worked as a resident doctor at the same faculty, and in 1997 she completed her specialty training in the Department of Child Health and Diseases of İstanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine. In 1998 she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where she has continued her pediatric practice. Her clinical background therefore combines university-based training in child health with long-term hospital-based pediatric care.

Clinical focus

Dr. Ersoy’s clinical work includes healthy child follow-up and childhood vaccinations, with age-appropriate assessment of growth and development at each visit. She follows newborns, including the evaluation and monitoring of newborn jaundice, and supports families dealing with infant colic. Growth disorders in children are assessed through clinical examination and follow-up over time. Nutritional concerns form a further part of her practice: she monitors childhood nutritional disorders, evaluates lactose intolerance in infants, and diagnoses and manages iron deficiency and anemia in children.

In the area of infectious disease, Dr. Ersoy diagnoses and treats pediatric infectious diseases, including upper respiratory tract infections in children. Her approach involves taking a careful history from the family, examining the child, and arranging further tests where clinically indicated. Treatment plans are discussed with parents or caregivers, and follow-up is arranged according to the child’s condition and needs.

How Dr. Ersoy works with international patients

Dr. Ersoy 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, 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 with the family. Video consultation is available for international patients and may be used for an initial discussion or for follow-up in situations where a physical examination is not required.
