Patient Experiences
Patient Reviews
"My 17-year-old son had severe acne on his face that had been worsening for 5 years. Nothing helped until we saw Dr. Özlem Akın. She explained the diagnosis and treatment plan thoroughly, put us at ease, and gradually increased the Roaccutane dosage. After 4 months the spots started clearing, and now they are completely gone. I warmly recommend Dr. Akın."
"When I first visited Dr. Özlem in 2008 I was very pleased with her treatment. I later sought a second opinion from a senior colleague, who told me that despite her young age she had made entirely the right decision. I am endlessly grateful."
