Professional Biography
Patient-centered ent care at Medipol
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gökhan Altın is a senior ENT specialist at Medipol Mega University Hospital with 18 years of clinical experience. He is recognized for endoscopic salivary gland surgery (sialendoscopy), advanced sinus surgery, sleep apnea correction (uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, septoplasty, turbinate reduction), and pediatric ENT.
He also performs surgery for benign and malignant head and neck tumors, including thyroid surgery and parotid gland tumor resection. His patients value his calm communication style, willingness to explore minimally invasive options first, and structured post-operative care plan.
ENT problems often hide simple, elegant solutions. My promise is to find them with you — and to do less surgery, not more, whenever the body allows.
