As a laryngologist and voice authority in Vienna, Dr. Wohlt has treated many world-famous performing artists. The doctor-patient relationship Dr. Wohlt has with the soloists of the Vienna State Opera has been an extremely personal and trusting one ever since he started his work in voice medicine in Vienna.

State-of-the-Art Voice Diagnostics and Voice Therapy
As an internationally renowned authority in voice medicine, Dr. Wohlt applies the most current international standards to implement his concern for ultra-accurate voice diagnostics.
These include digital techniques for video recording of the vocal folds (videostroboscopy) as well as computer-driven procedures for acoustic analysis of the voice.
Despite this emphasis on modern technology, diagnosis is always based on a comprehensive medical consultation and an acoustic assessment of the patient's voice.
When singing issues are involved, an examination of the singing voice is required as well.

International Center of Excellence in Vienna
The International Center of Excellence in Vienna is located in a stately baroque style house built at the end of the 17th Century in the Fichtegasse 2A, one of the few remaining baroque side streets.
The musical centerpiece of the center is a magnificent antique Steinway concert grand piano. It is on this instrument that Dr. Wohlt also works with singers during their postoperative rehabilitation, for example.
