Get to Know Me

Dr. Yalim Yalcin graduated from Istanbul University School of Medicine in 1990. He trained in pediatrics and pediatric cardiology in N.Y. He is a board certified pediatric interventional cardiologist with more than 20 years of experience in a wide range of interventional procedures and devices that are currently on the market.聽

Why I Treat Children

My father was a doctor. I grew up in an environment that appreciated both the difficulties and the spiritual satisfaction of helping people heal. I always wanted to be a doctor, and thought it was a great way to help people. During medical school and my internship year I realized that kids were very vulnerable. When their children were sick, families were hopeless and looking for help desperately. Helping a child to heal and smile, and being there for the families during difficult times was a great feeling. This is why I became a pediatrician.

What I'm Passionate About

Being a pediatric cardiologist, most of the time we are dealing with serious, life-threatening conditions. So we need to be passionate about the safety and quality of the services that we provide. We should be able to deliver the best practices to our patients and their families. That requires us to be up to date with new treatments and continuous medical education. This is definitely a collaborative team effort, with colleagues trained and experienced in treating babies, small children, adolescents and even grown-up adults with congenital heart disease. We all need to be precise and should practice the safest and best quality medicine.聽

How I Try to Make A Difference

It is very important that we are able to help others that can鈥檛 reach us and therefore can鈥檛 get the quality treatment they need. This is why I have been traveling to underserved areas in countries like North Macedonia and Azerbaijan for medical missions to treat and help children with heart conditions there who are not able to get the treatment options they should have.聽
