Dr. Gulben Efes is a specialist paediatrician with over 25 years of experience in child health, neonatology, and infectious diseases. She trained at Hacettepe University in Ankara, Turkey, completing her medical degree and a five-year paediatric residency at Turkey's largest children's hospital. After nine years working in top private hospitals in Ankara, she ran her own paediatric clinic from 2014 to 2018 before relocating to Dubai in 2018, where she has practised at Saudi German Hospital and Novomed Marina Clinic.
Dr. Efes specializes in treating allergic conditions—including food intolerance, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis—as well as gastrointestinal problems such as constipation, abdominal pain, and gastritis. She has particular expertise in managing children with complex allergies and digestive disorders. She also provides well-baby check-ups covering developmental milestones, immunizations, and support for picky eating and introducing new foods.
Her approach emphasizes finding the root cause of each child's condition rather than treating symptoms alone. She is equally committed to supporting parents through the challenges of raising healthy children from infancy through the teenage years.
Special interests: food allergies and intolerances, atopic dermatitis management, feeding challenges and complementary feeding, picky eaters, parent education and support.
