What we do.
We provide comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for voice and upper airway disorders. Our multidisciplinary team combines laryngological examination, videostroboscopy and detailed voice analysis to guide diagnosis and individualised management. All patients are always seen jointly by both an Otolaryngologist and Speech Pathologist in our commitment to a multi-disciplinary approach to the medical and functional evaluation and management of your voice and/or related throat problem. We also regularly provide a tertiary service for other ENT Specialists who seek more specialised input or further diagnostic information with videostroboscopy related to your individual laryngeal problem.
