A Team Approach to Your Voice and Swallowing Health

Achieving optimal outcomes for voice and swallowing disorders may benefit from a coordinated, team approach. Our practice partners closely with experienced, specialized speech-language pathologists to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Comprehensive Services Offered:

  • Vocal fold lesions such as nodules, polyps and cysts
  • Muscle tension dysphonia and vocal strain
  • Age-related voice changes (presbyphonia)
  • Voice concerns related to vocal fold paralysis or weakness
  • Pre- and post-surgical voice rehabilitation to optimize outcomes
  • Spasmodic dysphonia management in conjunction with botulinum toxin treatment
  • Parkinson's disease-related voice changes using specialized techniques like Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) and LOUD

Swallow Therapy
Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) can significantly impact your quality of life, nutrition and safety. Swallow therapy involves collaboaration with speech-language pathologists to provide expert treatment for:

  • Swallowing difficulties related to neurological conditions
  • Age-related swallowing changes
  • Swallowing concerns following head and neck surgery or radiation
  • Aspiration risk management
  • Texture modification guidance and compensatory strategies

Chronic Cough and Airway Disorders
For patients with persistent cough or breathing difficulties related to laryngeal dysfunction, our team offers:

  • Chronic refractory cough therapy addressing laryngeal hypersensitivity
  • Paradoxical vocal fold motion (vocal cord dysfunction) treatment

Flexible Care Delivery: In-Person and Virtual Options

We understand that accessing specialized care needs to fit into your life. Our collaborative services are available both in-person and through secure telehealth platforms, allowing you to receive expert speech-language pathology services from the comfort of your home or workplace.

Virtual sessions are particularly beneficial for:

  • Patients with scheduling constraints or transportation challenges
  • Follow-up therapy sessions after initial in-person evaluation
  • Professional voice users who travel frequently
  • Patients in remote or underserved areas
  • Ongoing therapy maintenance and monitoring

Your physician and speech-language pathologist will work with you to determine the most appropriate format for your care, whether that's entirely in-person, entirely virtual, or a hybrid approach combining both modalities.
