Main Target Diseases and Clinic Days

  • Outpatient rhinosinus and allergy (outpatient olfaction): Tuesday afternoon
    We mainly treat olfactory disorders. Diagnosis of the cause of olfactory disorders is very important, and the treatment plan depends on it. We diagnose the cause of olfactory disorders through a detailed medical interview, nasal endoscopy, blood sampling, and imaging tests. In addition, we consider the continuation of treatment while determining the state of olfactory dysfunction through olfactory function tests.
  • Sleep apnea outpatient clinic: Wednesday afternoon
    We investigate and treat the causes of sleep apnea in adults and children. We use CPAP, sleep splints, and medication as conservative treatment methods, as well as strict criteria for surgery when indicated.
