Team
Istanbul Voice Center is built around a small clinical team, organised so that a patient sees the right person for each part of their care: a laryngologist for diagnosis and intervention, speech and language therapists for voice and swallowing rehabilitation, and coordinators who keep the pathway moving.
Following the practice of academic voice institutes, each clinician has an individual profile page. The summaries below link to those pages.
