Neslihan Dönmez, MD is a dermatologist at Acibadem Adana Hospital in Adana, where she practices in the Dermatology unit. Her work covers inflammatory and infectious skin conditions, sun-related skin problems, sexually transmitted diseases, and procedural treatments such as botulinum toxin applications. She has more than 20 years of experience in medicine and consults in Turkish and English.

Dr. Dönmez graduated from Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine in 2006. She then completed her specialty training in Dermatology and Venereal Diseases at Sütçü İmam University Faculty of Medicine, finishing in 2012. This training encompasses both general dermatology and venereology, which is reflected in the scope of her current practice. She has been working with Acıbadem Healthcare Services since 2026.

Clinical focus

A significant part of Dr. Dönmez’s practice involves inflammatory skin diseases. She evaluates and treats acne, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. These conditions can vary considerably from one patient to another, and management is typically adjusted to the pattern, severity, and duration of symptoms, as well as to any triggers identified during the consultation. She also sees patients with sun-related skin problems, including sunburn and sun allergy, where assessment focuses on the reaction itself and on measures that may help reduce recurrence.

In the area of venereology, Dr. Dönmez manages sexually transmitted diseases, including genital herpes and genital warts, and she also treats warts on other parts of the body. Consultations for these concerns are conducted with attention to patient privacy and include a discussion of the diagnosis, the available treatment approaches, and follow-up. Her procedural work includes botulinum toxin applications and treatment for excessive sweating. Whether a given treatment is appropriate is decided individually after examination, and the expected course, possible side effects, and the possible need for repeat sessions are discussed with the patient before any procedure is planned.

How Dr. Dönmez works with international patients

Dr. Dönmez consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports, such as previous dermatology notes, laboratory and pathology results, and any relevant imaging, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing results and previous treatments, a clinical examination of the skin, and a discussion of the options, including what each approach involves and what follow-up may be needed. For patients who are abroad, a video consultation can be arranged, for example to discuss existing findings and to help clarify whether an in-person examination is needed before any decision about travel is made.
