Swallowing Disorders & Dysphagia
Our physicians offer expertise in the medical and surgical treatment of swallowing disorders. We provide in-office laryngoscopy to evaluate the pharynx (throat) and larynx (voice box) as part of a patient’s diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders.
In addition, in partnership with speech-language pathologists from The Washington Hospital, we are able to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services in the treatment of your swallowing disorder. From a surgical standpoint, our doctors have expertise in the treatment of pharyngoesophageal strictures, cricopharyngeal dysfunction, as well as minimally invasive endoscopic treatments of pharyngoesophageal or “Zenker’s Diverticula,” a common and easily treatable cause swallowing problems in the elderly population.
