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.

After studying medicine at Ege University Faculty of Medicine and completing otolaryngology-head and neck surgery training at the Otolaryngology Department of Dokuz Eylul University Faculty of Medicine, Dr. Denizoglu decided to pursue a career in phoniatrics. His interest began with the fundamental physics of voice; he then studied vocal pedagogy at the conservatory of music. He completed a PhD in Biophysics and an MSc in Audiology & Speech Pathology. He has participated in several ongoing and published clinical studies and laboratory research. His passion for gaining a comprehensive understanding of the human voice across basic, clinical, and pedagogical vocology continues.

Dr. Denizoglu actively participates in several associations in the field of human voice, including the Union of European Phoniatricians (UEP), Collegium Medicorum Theatri (CoMeT), and the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics (IALP). In addition to his invited lectures worldwide, he conducts training workshops in various countries on voice therapy, singing voice therapy, and phonosurgery.

He is an amateur singer with an interest in vocal music from multiple perspectives, including singing pedagogy and musical acoustics. He has prepared the curriculum for Pedagogical Vocology lessons and has been delivering lectures at Dokuz Eylul University's Faculty of Stage Arts, Opera Division, since 2009. He has also developed the Clinical Vocology curriculum and teaches in the Speech-Language Therapy Division of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Tınaztepe University in Izmir, as well as in the Phoniatrics master's training program at Lokman Hekim University, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Ankara. He gives invited lectures at training programs and congresses worldwide. He has conducted his certifying training programs in pedagogical and clinical vocology (2-4 days) in more than 20 countries.

His medical practice focuses exclusively on phonosurgery, voice therapy, and singing voice therapy. He has developed new devices for voice therapy and vocal training. Based on Sihvo’s LaxVox Tube Exercise, he developed the DoctorVox Voice Therapy and Vocal Training Method (DVT) and holds patents for the tools used in DoctorVox therapy. He has also developed techniques such as mini-microsuture and posterior glottoplasty, as well as surgical instruments for phonosurgery. His book, 'Textbook of Clinical Vocology,' was published in 2020.

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.
