Since 1999, my medical and surgical practice has been limited to voice care. I maintain an

informational web site on voice disorders - voicedoctor.net, preceptor medical students in their

early years at Oregon Health Sciences University, offer an international fellowship in laryngology as

well as short observerships to physicians, speech therapists, voice teachers and interested students.

I produce “voxdoc, the voicedoctor” on YouTube, including Laryngology 101, a series of learning

videos. I published “Why is there a frog in my throat? A guide to hoarseness.” I frequently lecture

internationally on laryngology and phonosurgery. I remain surprised at how much there is still to learn

about the larynx.

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.
