Science-Based, Comprehensive, and Ethical Dermatology Services

Dr. Sümbüle Dönmez is a respected physician with over 20 years of clinical and academic experience in dermatology, who treats patients with an approach that prioritizes health as well as aesthetics. A graduate of Istanbul University’s Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Dr. Dönmez completed her specialty training in Dermatology at the same university. Throughout her professional career, she has treated thousands of patients in both the public and private healthcare sectors, focusing not only on treatment but also on understanding the root causes of skin conditions to develop effective solutions.

As dermatology increasingly shifts toward aesthetic and cosmetic focuses, the number of physicians who practice with genuine medical knowledge in this field has decreased. This is precisely where the need for experts like Dr. Dönmez, who prioritize scientific rigor, has grown. Over the years, Dr. Sümbüle Dönmez has combined her fundamental approach with a holistic medical perspective on classic dermatology practices, transforming her work into personalized treatment and follow-up based on an awareness of the importance of the root cause of the disease.

Holistic and Personalized Approach

One of Dr. Dönmez’s most distinctive features is that she evaluates the patient not just as a part of their skin, but as a whole. Especially in cases of chronic skin problems, where traditional treatments fall short, she structures the treatment process by taking into account factors such as lifestyle, stress levels, dietary habits, and immune status. This holistic approach aims for long-term improvement rather than short-term results.

A personalized roadmap is created for each patient. This is not merely a prescription; it includes sustainable solutions that can be integrated into the patient’s daily life and scientifically based lifestyle guidance. This approach yields high success rates, particularly in dermatological conditions with complex cause-and-effect relationships, such as hair loss, eczema, acne, and vitiligo.
