About

Prof. Dr. Arda Lembet

Women’s health is not a beginning or an end; it is a continuously evolving journey that spans every stage of life. On this journey, we do more than diagnose diseases we offer guidance that is attuned to each woman’s unique timing, needs, and potential. Specialist in Women’s Health, Obstetrics, and Perinatology Founder of AL Clinic and LaraHealth

Throughout his distinguished career spanning over 35 years, Prof. Dr. Arda Lembet has become a leading figure in women’s health, high-risk pregnancy, and healthy aging. Guided by a holistic vision of medicine, he has consistently shaped the field with an approach that views women’s health not merely as a medical specialty but as a lifelong philosophy grounded in science and responsibility. By integrating the continuum of fertility, pregnancy, hormonal balance, menopause, and healthy aging within a single multidisciplinary framework, Prof. Dr. Lembet has pioneered one of Turkey’s first and most comprehensive clinical models in this field.

International Clinical Experience and Academic Vision

After completing his medical education at Ankara University Faculty of Medicine, Prof. Dr. Lembet specialized in Obstetrics and Gynecology and later advanced his expertise in the United States, where he completed a Clinical Fellowship in Maternal-Fetal Medicine (Perinatology) at Mount Sinai Medical Center.

During this period, he not only gained extensive clinical proficiency but also actively participated in multidisciplinary research projects conducted under Columbia University and the University of Colorado. These experiences equipped him with exceptional analytical insight into complex pregnancy management, genetic risk assessment, the relationship between metabolic disorders and pregnancy, and the impact of systemic diseases on women’s health.

They also strengthened his foundation in systems biology, enabling him to approach health and disease not as isolated organ-based issues, but as interconnected physiological dynamics — a perspective that continues to define his medical philosophy today.

Scientific Leadership and Clinical Founding Vision

Following his professional experience in the United States, Prof. Dr. Arda Lembet returned to Turkey, where he served as the founder and director of several leading Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Perinatology Centers in major universities and hospitals.

Institutions he has contributed to include:

İstinye University – Chair, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Liv Hospital Ulus – Head, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Memorial Ataşehir Hospital – Founder and Director, Department of Obstetrics and High-Risk Pregnancies
Acıbadem University and Hospitals (Kadıköy, Maslak, Kocaeli) – Director and Founder, Maternal-Fetal Medicine Department
Başkent University Istanbul Hospital – Head of Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Bağdat Street Maternal-Fetal Medicine Center – Founding Physician

At each of these institutions, Prof. Dr. Lembet established clinical infrastructures, team structures, and patient care protocols grounded in evidence-based medicine, multidisciplinary collaboration, and a patient-centered philosophy — setting new standards for maternal-fetal healthcare in Turkey.

A Forward-Looking Clinical Model in Women’s Health and Functional Medicine

Today, the two institutions founded by Prof. Dr. Arda Lembet in Istanbul — AL Clinic and LaraHealth — stand as the culmination of his decades of clinical experience, scientific insight, and holistic vision.

AL Clinic serves as a specialized reference center for high-risk pregnancies, structured around multidisciplinary teams that work in close collaboration to ensure precision care for both mother and baby.

LaraHealth, on the other hand, is a holistic wellness and longevity clinic built on preventive, predictive, personalized, and participatory principles — enabling individuals to lead healthier, longer, and more vibrant lives.

This model views women not merely through their symptoms, but as complete beings shaped by genetic, biochemical, lifestyle, and emotional factors. It offers more than treatment — it empowers women through a transformative health journey that helps them understand their bodies, connect with their potential, and embrace life with awareness. For Dr. Lembet, health is not only the absence of disease; it is the art of self-knowledge, bodily harmony, and conscious living — values that lie at the core of both his medical philosophy and professional journey.
