Our Story
Istanbul Voice Center grew out of a single clinician's decision to concentrate entirely on the larynx.
Associate Professor Necati Enver trained in otolaryngology and then narrowed his focus to voice and swallowing, the part of the specialty where a small, precise intervention can change how a person speaks, performs, and lives. A laryngology fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, across Weill Cornell and Columbia, and time within the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice, set the template: subspecialty depth, office-based technique, and clinical work tied to research and teaching.
He returned to Türkiye in 2020 and built a dedicated voice and swallowing practice within a university setting. He is among a small number of surgeons worldwide who perform laryngeal reinnervation, both unilateral and bilateral, and he teaches the technique as a faculty member of the Rouen Laryngeal Reinnervation Course. In January 2025 the practice became a full-time independent institute, Istanbul Voice Center.

What we are building next
The near-term work is to widen the range of office-based procedures, to begin publishing procedure volumes and patient-reported outcomes, and to formalise the observership programme so that visiting physicians can train here. These are stated plans, tracked against dates, not promises.
