Sadettin Dolar, MD

Sadettin Dolar, MD is an internal medicine specialist who sees patients at Acibadem Kent Hospital (Izmir) in İzmir, Türkiye. He has more than ten years in medicine. His subspecialties are functional medicine and thyroid diseases and treatment, and much of his work concerns the diagnosis and long-term management of metabolic and chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, thyroid disorders and anaemia.

Dr. Dolar graduated from Ege University Faculty of Medicine in 2016 and completed his specialty training in internal medicine at the same faculty in 2021. He then worked at Alaşehir Devlet Hospital from 2022 and at Özel Can Hospital from 2024. In 2025 he joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where he practices within the Internal Medicine unit. He speaks Turkish and English.

Clinical focus

A large part of Dr. Dolar’s practice is the care of metabolic disease. He evaluates and treats patients with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, a stage at which blood glucose is raised but has not yet reached the threshold for diabetes. He also manages obesity, both as a medical condition in its own right and as a factor that influences other metabolic disorders. Thyroid disorders, one of his named subspecialties, form another part of his work, as does anaemia, which in an internal medicine setting is investigated to identify its underlying cause before treatment is planned. Chronic disease management is a recurring theme in his practice, with follow-up over time rather than a single visit, and treatment plans are adjusted according to how the patient responds.

Dr. Dolar’s practice also includes functional medicine, an approach that considers the wider factors contributing to a patient’s condition, together with wellness and longevity applications. In addition, he treats common problems that present to internal medicine, such as gastroenteritis, and provides medical treatments for the range of conditions listed in the expertise grid on this page. The suitability of any approach depends on the individual patient and is discussed only after clinical assessment.

How Dr. Dolar works with international patients

Dr. Dolar 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 and imaging, arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing test results, imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which allows a patient abroad to speak with Dr. Dolar in Turkish or English before deciding whether to travel, and to clarify which documents would be useful to bring to an in-person appointment.
