Many individuals being treated for other disorders may also find themselves with complications related to voice and/or swallowing
These patients benefit from expert diagnosis and treatments including medical and surgical therapies as well as voice therapy.
The center offers procedures to improve voice and swallowing function, providing patients with less invasive operating options, and speech. State-of-the-art diagnostics and office-based treatment options include laser surgery using a pulsed KTP laser, a first in Southern California, and unsedated laryngeal procedures–a significant convenience over the conventional procedure.

Specialized care is available for people with hoarseness resulting from various voice and swallowing disorders as well as for professional voice users such as singers, actors, clergy, lawyers, and teachers.

“Many individuals being treated for other disorders may also find themselves with complications related to voice and/or swallowing,” states Steven Feinberg, M.D., director of Hoag Voice and Swallowing Center, whose patients include those suffering from systemic neurologic disorders such as stroke and Parkinson’s disease. “These patients benefit from expert diagnosis and treatments including medical and surgical therapies as well as voice therapy.”
