I was born in Istanbul in 1970, I went to primary and secondary school in Istanbul, and graduated from Pertevniyal High School.

In 1987, I entered Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine and started my medical education in Izmir.

After a year of hard work, I transferred to Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, where I continued my education and graduated as a general practitioner in 1993.

After completing my compulsory service at Kemaliye State Hospital between 1993 and 1995, I started my assistant training in the same year at Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ear, Nose and Throat, which is my specialty.
