Voice Clinic Dr. Wohlt | International Center for Voice Surgery

The Voice Clinic Dr. Wohlt has played a leading role in the field of voice medicine and voice surgery in Europe for almost 20 years.

State-of-the-art diagnostics, especially gentle surgical methods and the experience of thousands of successful operations are combined with Dr. Wohlt's unique competence as a voice doctor, surgeon, singer and voice pedagogue.

World stars from opera, pop and show business entrust him with their voices as well as thousands of satisfied patients from all professional fields.

For almost 20 years now, Dr. Gerrit Wohlt has been medical director of one of the most renowned voice clinics (for voice medicine and voice surgery) in Europe, with two locations in the music metropolises of Berlin and Vienna. The medical treatment of all disorders of the singing and speaking voice as well as his personalized care of performing artists are rendered according to the highest international standards.

Dr. Wohlt, specialist in Otolaryngology and Phoniatrics, is himself a trained singer and singing teacher. Alongside his medical management of the professional singing voice, his area of special clinical focus is on the field of voice-improving surgery, also referred to as phonosurgery.

Dr. Wohlt’s work is primarily focused on the field of voice medicine as a comprehensive discipline covering all aspects relating to healthy and diseased voices. Diagnostics is carried out according to the highest international standards, using ultra-modern digital imaging techniques and equipment for vocal fold recordings and computer-controlled voice analysis. High-tech notwithstanding, the personal medical consultation and acoustic evaluation of the patient's voice are at the fore of Dr. Wohlt's examinations. ...more

Disorders and diseases of singers’ and actors’ voices are the personal focus of Dr. Wohlt's work. As a trained singer and singing teacher himself, he has a large affinity to understanding the subtle disturbances that can afflict a singing voice. Performing artists and entertainers from all over the globe, including operatic luminaries and rock and pop stars among others, seek out his help if they need vocal cord surgery, rehabilitation of their singing voice or technical coaching for their singing...more

For over 20 years, Dr. Wohlt has played a leading role in the surgical treatment of patients with vocal cord paralysis. Now, he has bundled the experience gathered in many hundreds of surgeries into one international center, with locations in Berlin and Vienna, that feature a core competence in vocal cord paralysis.

The operative method preferred by Dr. Wohlt for unilateral vocal cord paralysis is augmentation with autologous fat tissue. This intervention is performed by making a small skin incision near the belly button, harvesting fat from there and injecting the fat directly into the paralyzed vocal cord. This 45-minute outpatient procedure usually delivers outstanding voice-related results. Many years of follow-up in a large patient population underpin the sustainability of the method. ...more

As a trained singer and singing teacher himself, Dr.Wohlt has vast experience with voice therapy for singers. Within this scope, the boundaries between vocal physiology and performing artistry overlap and merge.

And it is exactly this blending together of expertise in voice medicine on the one side and his résumé as a singer and voice instructor on the other that open up insights into the world of vocal therapeutic work that is only made possible by this marriage of medicine and art ...more
