Voice, Speech and Swallowing Therapy
Outpatient services include evaluation and treatment of voice disorders, communication disorders and swallowing impairments. In some cases, patients receive surgical intervention followed by voice therapy, and in other cases, the surgeon may prescribe a course of therapy in lieu of surgery. Other patients are seen for remediation of speech and language disorders.
