Prof. M.D. Kübra Eren Bozdağ

As an 82-year-old with skin that's seen decades of sun, I was terrified when a persistent patch on my cheek began changing. Dr. Kübra didn't just glance at it—she examined my entire skin history with a magnifying glass, explaining each step in gentle Turkish. Her biopsy was virtually painless, and when it confirmed basal cell carcinoma, she performed Mohs surgery right at Kent Medical Center. What amazed me was how she considered my blood thinners and arthritis—adjusting everything so I felt zero stress. Six months later, my scar is barely visible. She treats the whole person, not just the spot.

Our 4-year-old developed severe atopic dermatitis that kept her scratching until she bled. Pediatricians offered steroid creams, but Dr. Kübra approached it differently. She spent 30 minutes asking about detergents, playground surfaces, even the family cat. Her diagnosis? A combination of contact allergy and sensory-seeking behavior. She prescribed a tailored emollient regimen and taught us 'skin distraction' techniques. At the follow-up, she remembered my daughter's favorite cartoon character and used stickers to explain skin healing. Now, our girl sleeps through the night. This wasn't just dermatology—it was compassionate detective work.

I arrived at Kent Medical Center as an emergency referral after a DIY mole removal gone horribly wrong. The site was infected, inflamed, and oozing. Dr. Kübra took one look and calmly said, 'We'll fix this, but first we need to control the damage.' She didn't shame me for my mistake. Instead, she performed immediate debridement under local anesthesia, then created a personalized wound care plan with daily check-ins via their patient portal. Her approach blended emergency intervention with psychological support—acknowledging my anxiety while expertly handling the medical crisis. The healing was remarkable, and she even helped me process the fear that led to the initial mistake.

What started as a routine acne follow-up turned into a life-changing diagnosis. Dr. Kübra noticed subtle textural changes on my upper back during a standard check—something five previous doctors had missed. She ordered specific dermoscopy and discovered early-stage mycosis fungoides, a rare cutaneous lymphoma. Her thoroughness was breathtaking: she coordinated with oncology, explained treatment options with visual aids, and even researched the latest European trials relevant to my case. Now in remission, I realize she didn't just treat a skin condition—she identified a systemic disease through dermatological expertise. Her meticulous attention to detail in a routine visit literally saved my life.
