Welcome . . .

 

The subspecialty of laryngology focuses on voice, swallowing, and airway disorders. The laryngology program offers state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary diagnosis and management of voice disorders. 

The following are those specialists that collaborate with the otolaryngologist:

  • Speech Pathologists
  • Neurologists
  • Voice Teachers

They provide highly individualized care. Only a few voice patients are seen by all members of the team but virtually all are seen by the otolaryngologist and speech pathologist. 

 

Laryngeal & Voice Disorders

 

In managing patients with laryngeal and voice disorders, the laryngologist performs the medical diagnosis and treatment; clinical assessment of vocal function; videostroboscopy; and other endoscopic examinations to assess laryngeal structure and function, ensuring the appropriateness and adequacy of treatment. 

The speech pathologist is critical in obtaining baseline measurement and documentation of vocal function, correlating acoustic data with presumed diagnosis to make an independent diagnosis, providing voice therapy, and communicating with laryngologists and other voice professionals.
