Clinical focus

Dr. Çelik’s clinical work centers on pediatric assessment and the broad field of child health and diseases. In practice this means evaluating a child’s symptoms in the context of their medical history and developmental stage, examining the child in a manner suited to their age, and discussing findings and possible next steps with parents or caregivers. Where further investigations or specialist input may be needed, these are considered as part of the overall assessment rather than in isolation.

His areas of expertise span infant care, child care and adolescent care. Each of these age groups presents different health needs and different ways of communicating, and Dr. Çelik places emphasis on age-appropriate assessment and ongoing family communication across all of them. Consultations for infants, school-age children and adolescents are therefore adapted to the individual child, with families involved in the discussion at every stage.

How Dr. Çelik works with international patients

Dr. Çelik consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for families who prefer another language. 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 any existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options, with parents or caregivers involved throughout. Video consultations are available for international patients, which may be useful for an initial review of a child’s situation or for follow-up discussions after a visit. Any decision about treatment is made only after the child has been assessed.
