Dr. Baris Karakullukcu

My main focus is on being able to help patients in the most satisfactory way. A satisfied smile in the face of my patient is the greatest award in life. For years I have performed complex oncologic surgeries of the head and neck area, including complex reconstructions of the face and upper airway. I am specialized in image guided and endoscopic surgeries. I still continue my work as oncological surgeon in addition to my (not less challenging) practice at Acibadem IMC. I was born and raised in Istanbul. I attended Robert College, followed by medical studies in Istanbul University. I received my title as otorhinolaryngologist from the University of Istanbul in 2003. In 2005 I spent three years at University of Miami as fellow of head and neck surgery and reconstructive surgery including facial reconstructions. I have been working at the Netherlands Cancer Institute Antoni van Leeuwenhoek since 2008. I have received my PhD in 2013 from University of Amsterdam. In 2017 I received the title of Associate professor in Turkiye.
