"My mission is to make my patients smile! I have been told I have a gift for putting patients at ease, as I am very compassionate. I want my patients to want to come see me and have fun at the dentist's office. I treat all my patients as if I am treating a family member — and we usually become a family."

Dr. Turhan and her husband have two daughters who are two years apart in age. At the moment, their daughters are both their lives and hobbies! When she can, Dr. Turhan enjoys running and practicing yoga. She tries to volunteer as much as she can for veterans and Rural Area Medical. She served the National Health Corps and provided dentistry to the underserved for over four years. Dr. Turhan has lived half of her life in Istanbul and the other half in New York City — she and her husband moved to Florida about eight years ago. So far, they are loving the Sunshine State!
Experience
Dr. Turhan completed a dental residency at the New York University Langone Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. She is currently an active member of the American Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association, and the West Coast Dental Association.
