I was undergoing medication treatment for my vocal cords at an ENT doctor but saw no improvement, so my doctor referred me to Mr. Kürşat because of his expertise in vocal cords. I had surgery with Kürşat Bey. Throughout the operation and afterward, he managed my treatment in detail, keeping me well informed. He also noticed and removed a cyst on my vocal cords during surgery. He is very kind, sincere, straightforward, and clear with his patients. I am very satisfied. Especially because I trust his expertise and success with vocal cords, I confidently recommend him to anyone with similar issues. I am extremely grateful to him.

We met Dr. Kürşat through a doctor's recommendation. He is truly a kind and gentlemanly doctor. My daughter had a hoarseness problem, and most doctors said she needed surgery, but Dr. Kürşat said it could be treated with voice therapy. Thanks to him, my daughter's voice started to improve. We are very satisfied and he gives a great sense of trust.
