About our Doctors and Physician Assistant
All four of them share expertise with a very large caseload of both common and rare disorders. For example, as a group, we manage:
- An estimated 1500 persons with sensory neuropathic cough (SNC), many from great distances and often from outside of Illinois.
- Approximately 100 persons with spasmodic dysphonia per month
- Uncommon swallowing disorders like cricopharyngeus dysfunction with or without Zenker’s diverticulum
- Persons with chronic hoarseness due to vocal overuse injury
- Singers with otherwise-irreversible injuries who elect to undergo microsurgery (at least 2000 cases and many thousands more in non-singers)
- One of the Midwest’s largest populations of adults with laryngeal papillomas (RRP)
- Vocal cord paralysis (medialization via injected or surgical implants)
- Larynx cancer (Laser excision or partial or total laryngectomy)
- Narrowing of the airway in voicebox or trachea (windpipe)
- Inability to belch (retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction)
