Otolaryngology Clinics

At our Otolaryngology Clinics, we diagnose, treat, and provide follow-up care on conditions affecting the nose, ear, throat, head, and neck in both children and adults. Our clinics cater to outpatients (those not admitted to the hospital) and offer guidance to both emergency rooms and inpatient departments. Each room comes equipped with a microscope, allowing us to monitor and document all endoscopic examinations in a detailed manner.

Alongside the clinics, there is a hearing, speech, and language institute that encompasses a variety of activity areas in the fields of hearing disorders, voice, speech and language disorders, balance disorders, and swallowing. Joint teams of ENT doctors and speech therapists conduct shared clinics for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up in specialized areas that include cochlear implants, middle ear implants, voice disorders, vertigo diseases, and swallowing disorders.
