Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sercan Göde

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sercan Göde is an otorhinolaryngology specialist who practices in the Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) unit at Acibadem Kent Hospital in İzmir. He provides assessment and treatment for conditions of the ear, nose and throat, and he has more than 22 years of experience in medicine. His work covers the evaluation of ENT symptoms, the interpretation of findings from clinical examination and prior investigations, and the discussion of treatment options with each patient.

Dr. Göde graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine in 2004. He then completed his specialty training in Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases at Ege University Faculty of Medicine, finishing in 2010. He holds the academic title of Associate Professor. In 2026 he joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where he continues his clinical work in otorhinolaryngology at the İzmir hospital.

Clinical focus

Dr. Göde’s clinical practice is organized around three broad areas of ear, nose and throat medicine. The first is ear conditions, where his role includes taking a detailed history, examining the ear, reviewing any existing test results or imaging, and explaining what the findings mean for the patient. The second is nasal conditions, in which he evaluates nasal and sinus-related complaints, considers the contribution of structural and inflammatory factors, and discusses whether medical management, further investigation or a procedure is appropriate. The third is throat disorders, where assessment of the throat and related structures forms the basis for an individualized plan.

In each of these areas, the emphasis is on a structured, stepwise approach. Not every patient will require a procedure; in many cases the first step is to clarify the diagnosis and to review what has already been tried. Where treatment is proposed, Dr. Göde discusses the expected course, the alternatives and the relevant considerations so that the patient can take part in the decision. Recommendations are based on the individual clinical picture rather than on a fixed protocol.

How Dr. Göde works with international patients

Dr. Göde consults in Turkish and English. For patients traveling from abroad, the international patient team coordinates the exchange of medical reports and imaging before arrival and arranges appointments around the visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s symptoms and how they have developed, relevant medical history and previous treatments, a clinical examination of the ear, nose and throat, and a review of any reports or scans the patient has brought. On this basis, Dr. Göde explains the likely diagnosis, outlines possible next steps and answers questions about the proposed care plan. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation or review their records with him before deciding whether to travel, and follow-up questions after a visit can be raised through the same channel.
