About Us

Our laryngologists are subspecialty trained in disorders of voice, upper breathing passages, and swallowing. Complex referrals are triaged to a multidisciplinary clinic in which patients are seen simultaneously by the surgeon and speech therapist. The surgeons are trained in the most up to date techniques including office-based endoscopic procedures to improve voice and swallowing, and to treat lesions of the upper aerodigestive tract.

Referring clinicians: Please see contact  page and fax consultations to the associated numbers listed by physician.

Patients: Appointments are by referral only.
