- Medical Weight LossThe most common cancer in the head and neck is squamous cell carcinoma. Surprisingly, the most common cause for this cancer in the oropharynx is no longer tobacco and alcohol use. Today we see more cancer caused by Human Papilloma Virus. Common symptoms are persistent throat pain, lump sensation in the throat, ear pain, pain with swallowing and unexplained weight loss. If you have any of these symptoms it is recommended to have a comprehensive head and neck examination, often accompanied by laryngoscopy (using a small camera to visualize your throat). If a suspicious area is found, typically a CT scan of the neck, needle biopsies, or an exam with biopsies (direct laryngoscopy) under anesthesia is recommended. Depending on the size and extent of the lesion surgery or radiation with chemotherapy may be recommended.

- Mental HealthTinnitus is an abnormal ringing or noise with no external source. Commonly, hearing loss can cause tinnitus. However, there are multiple other causes such as temporal mandibular joint disorder, certain medications, or even masses. It is important to identify the cause of your tinnitus, especially if it is correctable. Tinnitus can be disruptive to sleep and cause mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. If you are experiencing disruptions in your day to day life from tinnitus, cognitive behavioral therapy can be of benefit. This can be discussed further with your physician.

- Thyroid
- UltrasoundThyroid nodules are common. In fact, studies suggest that over 50% of the population have a thyroid nodule. Despite this large number, only 5% of these nodules are cancerous. With the use of ultrasound your physician will determine if your nodule requires further evaluation. The next step in evaluation is typically a small needle biopsy performed under ultrasound guidance. Depending on the results of this biopsy, the nodule can be followed with repeat ultrasound, may require further biopsy, or a recommendation for surgery will be made.
- MRIThe ability to hear helps to connect us with the world. There are many different causes of hearing loss. Depending on the cause of your hearing loss you physician can recommend the most appropriate intervention. He can also advise you on how to better manage the effects of hearing loss in your day to day life. If your hearing loss is worse on one side, often an MRI or CT scan will be obtained to rule out any other potential cause of your hearing loss.

- Radiation TherapyThe most common vocal cord malignancy is squamous cell carcinoma. Typically this cancer will arise in individuals with a history of smoking. The most common symptom is typically hoarseness/raspy voice. If this cancer is caught early enough it can be treated with surgical removal, typically using microsurgical techniques and a laser. Depending on the size of the lesion, voice quality can be well preserved. When the lesion is too large for safe resection, radiation therapy will often be recommended as treatment. If you have persistent hoarseness lasting over two weeks, it is recommended that a thorough evaluation be performed to rule out any possible malignancy.
