Since 1999, my medical and surgical practice has been limited to voice care. I maintain an
informational web site on voice disorders - voicedoctor.net, preceptor medical students in their
early years at Oregon Health Sciences University, offer an international fellowship in laryngology as
well as short observerships to physicians, speech therapists, voice teachers and interested students.
I produce “voxdoc, the voicedoctor” on YouTube, including Laryngology 101, a series of learning
videos. I published “Why is there a frog in my throat? A guide to hoarseness.” I frequently lecture
internationally on laryngology and phonosurgery. I remain surprised at how much there is still to learn
about the larynx.
- Superior laryngeal nerve injury - why thyroid surgeons should document the highest pitch before and after surgery
- Visual neurolaryngology
- Laryngoscopy versus Electromyography
- Assessment, office-based and endolaryngeal approach for Unilateral Vocal Fold Immobilty
- Lateral Cricoarytenoid injuries – the missed nerve impairments
- Laryngeal dystonia and tremor
