Derma-Act Dragalevtsi, Sofia, Bulgaria
Derma-Act Dragalevtsi
Dragalevtsi, Sofia, Bulgaria
A dermatology-led clinic in the Dragalevtsi district of Sofia, where board-certified dermatologists, three plastic surgeons and a vascular surgeon hold clinics under one roof, with more than thirty treatment and diagnostic platforms on site.
A dermatology clinic with surgeons attached, not a treatment room with a laser
Derma-Act Dragalevtsi sits on Paprat Street in Dragalevtsi, on the green southern edge of Sofia below Vitosha mountain. It is the second of the group's two clinics, the first being on Cherni Vrah Boulevard closer to the city centre. What distinguishes the Dragalevtsi site is the range of specialists who hold clinics there: three dermatologists board-certified in skin and venereal diseases, three plastic surgeons, a vascular surgeon who heads a hospital department, and two doctors in aesthetic practice, supported by a nurse, a medical cosmetologist and a cosmetician.
That structure matters for anyone travelling for treatment. A pigmented lesion can be screened with FotoFinder digital dermoscopy by a dermatologist, removed by CO2 laser if it needs to be, and reviewed afterwards by the same clinic. Leg veins are assessed by a vascular surgeon with duplex ultrasound before any treatment. Facial surgery is carried out by surgeons who hold the Bulgarian plastic surgery specialty and train internationally.
Several of the clinicians are academically active. The visiting dermatologist, Professor Miroslava Kadurina, holds a Doctor of Medical Sciences degree and a professorship in Rome, with more than 200 published papers. The vascular surgeon holds a PhD and has authored more than 50 publications. Several of the dermatologists hold EADV scholarships and memberships of the International Society of Dermoscopy and the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology. Between them the team consults in Bulgarian, English, Turkish, German, Russian and French, which covers most of the patients who travel to Sofia.
Dr.Visor verified this profile against the clinic's own published clinician pages, which name each specialist's qualifications, certification year and professional memberships individually. Patient numbers and comparative claims are not published here because the clinic does not publish them on a platform it does not control.

Inside Derma-Act Dragalevtsi
What patients rate the clinic
A 4.9 average held across 712 reviews is a stronger signal than a perfect score across a handful, because it is hard to sustain once the volume is that high. Google is also a platform the clinic cannot edit, which is why Dr.Visor publishes ratings from it and not from a clinic's own website testimonials.
Dr.Visor publishes the aggregate rating only and does not reproduce individual reviews. Read them in full on Google, where you can also see how recent they are and how the clinic replies.
What stands out
When the clinic is open
The group's other clinic on Cherni Vrah Boulevard, closer to central Sofia, is open seven days a week. Individual specialists hold clinics on set days, so confirm your consultant's availability when you book.
Before you travel
Where exactly is the Dragalevtsi clinic?
Paprat Street 6V, Sofia 1415, in the Dragalevtsi district on the southern edge of the city below Vitosha mountain. It is a separate site from the group's clinic on Cherni Vrah Boulevard, so check which address your appointment is at.
Can I be seen in English?
Yes. Clinicians at this site state consultations in English, and between the team also Turkish, German, Russian and French. Ask for the specialist who covers your language when you book.
Is this a surgical clinic or a skin clinic?
Both, which is the point. The core is dermatology, with board-certified dermatologists handling diagnosis, lesion screening, laser and injectable work. Three plastic surgeons and a vascular surgeon hold clinics at the same site for procedures that need an operating approach.
How many visits will I need?
It depends entirely on the treatment. Surgery usually means one trip with a review before you fly home, while laser and injectable courses often run over several sessions spaced weeks apart. Ask for the full course in writing before you commit to travel dates.
What should I bring to a mole check?
Any previous dermatology reports, photographs of the lesion over time if you have them, and a note of family history of skin cancer. The clinic uses FotoFinder imaging, which maps lesions so they can be compared at future visits.
How does Dr.Visor verify a clinic?
We check the clinic against independent sources rather than taking its marketing at face value. For this profile that meant the clinic's own published clinician pages with named qualifications, certification years and professional memberships. We do not publish patient counts or comparative claims that cannot be checked independently.
