Voice

Our team of providers works together to evaluate and treat various voice, swallowing, and airway disorders in patients of all ages. At the first visit, patients are often evaluated by a laryngologist (physician) and speech pathologist. 

A detailed history, physical examination including videostroboscopy, and often additional perceptual and voice analyses aid in the appropriate diagnosis. A treatment plan is then formulated that will be best for each unique patient, based on the current condition. The team continues to work together with each patient throughout treatment, altering therapies based on progress to help each patient reach their goals.

Depending on pathology for each patient, treatments may include various oral medications, voice rest, biopsy, excision of abnormal lesions, voice or swallowing therapy, suspension microdirect laryngoscopy with microflap excision of lesions, CO2 or KTP laser excision of vocal fold lesions, awake laser procedures, vocal fold injection augmentation, medialization laryngoplasty, excision of Zenker’s diverticulum, esophageal dilation, Cricopharyngeal Botox injection, Botox injection of the vocal folds with EMG guidance, Botox injection of the vocal folds endoscopically, tracheal dilation, laryngeal stent placement, cordotomy, arytenoidectomy, laryngeal or tracheal steroid injection.
