Jonathan M. Bock, MD, FACS is a highly respected fellowship-trained, board-certified Otolaryngologist–Head and Neck Surgeon based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, known especially for his expertise in laryngology and voice disorders.

Dr. Bock earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in 2001 after completing his undergraduate studies in molecular biochemistry and biophysics at Yale University, where he was active in music and performed with the famed Yale Whiffenpoofs.

He completed his Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery residency at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, including a two-year NIH-funded research fellowship focused on the molecular biology of head and neck cancers. After residency, Dr. Bock pursued an advanced fellowship in Laryngology & Care of the Professional Voice at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville,TN.

Dr. Bock’s clinical practice centers on disorders of the larynx and voice, treating conditions such as hoarseness, chronic cough, vocal cord paralysis, spasmodic dysphonia, swallowing disorders, airway stenosis, and head and neck cancers. He combines surgical care with his deep understanding of professional voice needs, drawing on his own lifelong involvement in music.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Bock serves as a Professor of Otolaryngology & Communication Sciences and academic physician-scientist at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where he teaches medical students and residents and conducts ongoing research in laryngeal pathologies and head and neck oncology.

Outside the clinic, he continues to perform music locally—earning the affectionate nickname “Doc of Rock”—and brings that passion for voice and performance into his practice, especially when treating singers and professional voice users. You can find his band website at bockenplautz.com.

Dr. Bock practices at Froedtert Hospital and the Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee and is widely recognized for his compassionate approach and clear communication with patients.

Taner Yilmaz, MD, Professor of Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine in Ankara, Turkey. I graduated and completed residency in the same university and department. I am a laryngologist and phonosurgeon. I perform exclusively laryngeal and phonosurgical procedures in my practice; I don't do any other ENT operations. I am a member of European Laryngological Society, International Association of Phonosurgery and American Laryngological Association. I try to participate in every ELS, IAP and ALA meeting and present a paper there. My main interest topics are thyroplasty type I and arytenoid adduction or adduction arytenopexy for unilateral vocal fold paralysis, arytenoidectomy for bilateral vocal fold paralysis, transoral laryngeal microsurgery for early glottic cancer, surgery for voice feminization and transoral surgery for glottic and supraglottic stenosis. I published various new surgical procedures for the above-mentioned topics. I have 2 patents, one on laryngoscope used for arytenoidectomies and the other on epiglottis holding forceps to prevent floppy epiglottis from folding inside the larynx during direct laryngoscopy. I published 108 international manuscripts, received around 2000 citations; my Web of Science h-index is currently 26.
