About me
Fellow of the American Speech and Hearing Association and past coordinator of ASHA’s Special Interest Group on Voice and Upper Airway Disorders. Serves on the Advisory Board at the Voice Foundation. Involved in clinical management of patients for over 30 years. Authored numerous publications on laryngeal disorders. Frequently invited lecturer at national and international meetings. Expertise in vocal pathology, hyperfunctional voice disorders, upper airway dysfunction, ILO and EILO, and care of the professional voice.
I bring to the table enthusiasm, curiosity, and significant expertise with the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. I’ve treated over 1500 patients with ILO, EILO, and breathing pattern dysfunction. I’ve lectured extensively and published articles on the characteristics of these conditions, differential diagnosis, therapy methods, and long-term efficacy of therapy. I’m very much looking forward to help healthcare professionals and patients breathe better.
