Suna Sarıkaya

With a certified pathway for botulinum toxin (Botox) and an integrative plan that can include ozone therapy, acupuncture, cupping therapy, and nutrition changes, Uzm. Dr. Suna Sarıkaya focuses on more than symptom control. At the clinic in Antalya, she brings together classical neurology and functional neurology principles to evaluate underlying contributors and build a patient-specific treatment process. Her practice is designed for conditions that often require sustained management, including migraine, Parkinson’s disease, hemifacial spasm, blepharospasm, epilepsy, MS, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke-related deficits, adult ADHD, and dystonia. After completing her medical education at Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine and transferring to Süleyman Demirel University Faculty of Medicine, she completed neurology specialization at Ankara Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital Neurology Clinic. She continued as a specialist physician in the same hospital, then completed mandatory service at Sivas Numune Hospital. Later, she worked as an Assistant Professor at Harran University Faculty of Medicine, serving as Head of the Department for 6 months. Since opening her private practice in Antalya in 2021, Dr. Sarıkaya has been continuing her independent clinical work with a structured, holistic evaluation.
