According to our hospital's rules, patients who will visit our department for the first time must be seen at the general pediatrics outpatient clinic. After that, all appointments are made by applying to the department secretariat. Patients without an appointment are not examined. For new patients referred by consultation, appointments are decided according to the urgency of the child's condition. Appointments can be made at the secretariat of the Pediatric Rheumatology Unit on the mezzanine floor of Hacettepe İhsan Doğramacı Children's Hospital.
