Asiye Merve Erdoğan, MD

Asiye Merve Erdoğan, MD is an otorhinolaryngology specialist at Acibadem Adana Hospital in Adana, where she works within the Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) unit with a subspecialty focus on Head and Neck Surgery. Her clinical work covers ear, nose and throat conditions in adults and children, including hearing and balance disorders, swallowing difficulties, disorders of smell, and cancers of the head and neck region. She has more than 11 years of experience in medicine.

Dr. Erdoğan graduated from Gazi University Faculty of Medicine in 2015. She then completed her specialty training in Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases at Health Sciences University Adana City Hospital, finishing in 2021. In 2025 she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, and she currently practices in Adana, where she assesses and treats patients with ENT symptoms and conditions and provides surgical care when it is considered appropriate.

Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Erdoğan’s practice is head and neck surgery and the management of head and neck cancers, including oral cancer and cancer of the tongue and tongue base. Assessment in these cases generally involves a careful review of the patient’s history, a clinical examination and consideration of existing imaging and pathology findings before treatment options are discussed. She also sees patients with dysphagia (swallowing difficulty), pharyngitis and anosmia (loss of smell), which may require evaluation to identify an underlying cause.

In otology, Dr. Erdoğan’s areas of expertise include hearing loss in children and cochlear implants, as well as vertigo and balance disorders. Her surgical work further includes tonsillectomy and rhinoplasty. Whether a particular procedure is suitable depends on the individual patient’s findings and overall health, and this is determined only after a clinical evaluation.

How Dr. Erdoğan works with international patients

Dr. Erdoğan consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and it arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Erdoğan before deciding whether to travel, although a definitive plan usually depends on an in-person examination and, where needed, further tests.
