Voice & Swallowing Disorders

The larynx (voice box) is the organ for voice production and is critical for normal swallowing and breathing. Disorders of the larynx will typically lead to hoarseness and/or breathing difficulties, and can be caused by a variety of reasons including:

  • Benign or malignant lesions
  • Neurological disorders
  • Medical illnesses
  • Trauma

Our physicians evaluate and treat the spectrum of common disorders and diseases that affect the larynx.
