About Penn Center for Voice at Pennsylvania Hospital

Most people take their voice - a vital part of everyday life - for granted. Voice disorders can greatly limit your ability to communicate with colleagues, friends and family. Sometimes a mild voice or vocal cord disorder can be a sign of a more significant health problem. The Penn Center for Voice at Pennsylvania Hospital diagnoses and treats a wide range of voice disorders that can affect anyone from the professional vocalist to the general public.

We provide comprehensive diagnostic and treatment options including state-of-the-art medical, surgical and behavioral support to restore normal vocal functioning. Our staff - composed of a multidisciplinary team including otolaryngologists, speech language pathologists, and specially trained nurses - develops an individualized treatment plan for every patient. The Penn Center for Voice at Pennsylvania Hospital provides treatment for a wide range of disorders including, but not limited to:

  • hoarseness and throat pain
  • swallowing problems
  • laryngopharyngeal reflux
  • vocal cord nodules and paralyses
  • benign vocal cord growths
  • laryngeal cancer
  • spasmodic dysphonia
  • voice problems related to Parkinson's disease and other neurologic disorders
  • vocal misuse and overuse syndromes
