I have been working as an active dentist since 1993, 1 year in Ankara, 5 years in Kayseri and the remaining 24 years in Istanbul.

Although the last 6 years have been mostly in managerial processes, I am especially pleased to work with our anxious patients and get them accustomed to dental treatments. Considering this ability, I turned to hypnotherapy a few years ago. I continue on my way by improving myself in outpatient clinic management processes and hypnotherapy.
