Op. Dr. Ümit Karagöz

I was born in 1978 in Izmir, Turkey. As the child of a civil servant family, I had the opportunity to live in various parts of Anatolia. I completed my primary and secondary education in different cities such as Erzincan Merkez, Erzincan Tercan, Konya Karapınar, and Hatay Antakya, which allowed me to form wonderful friendships with people from diverse regions.

In 1995, I started my medical education at Dicle University Faculty of Medicine. I completed my medical education at one of the oldest and distinguished medical faculties in the country in 2001. I worked as a general practitioner in Diyarbakır for two years.

In 2004, my ENT specialization training began at Izmir Atatürk Training and Research Hospital. I had an intensive and fruitful 5-year specialization training. I participated in numerous meetings and contributed to various publications. I completed my specialization training in 2009.

I fulfilled my mandatory service at Bitlis Tatvan State Hospital. Afterward, I started working in private hospitals in Gaziantep. After a 2-year period in Gaziantep, I returned to Izmir. I worked at Private Deniz Hospital, Private Gaziemir Surgical Medical Center, Private Egepol Hospital, Private Can Hospital, and finally, at Private Ekol Hospital for five years.

Since November 2023, I have been providing services at my own private clinic.

I am married and have two daughters.

Professionally, I am capable of performing all procedures required by ENT specialization, with specific interests in areas such as rhinoplasty, otoplasty, sinus surgery, allergic rhinitis, adenoid-tonsil diseases, and snoring surgery. Additionally, I conduct medical aesthetic procedures related to the face.

On a personal level, I am interested in astronomy, photography, history, and literature.

My top priority is to practice the medical profession in adherence to ethical and scientific principles.
