Specialized Treatment for Swallowing Problems in Trinity, FL
Scotch Institute of Ear Nose & Throat provides advanced evaluation and treatment to patients with swallowing problems at our locations in Trinity and Wesley Chapel, Florida. If you are experiencing difficulty swallowing – an issue known as dysphagia – you can turn to us for the personalized and comprehensive otolaryngology and speech pathology services you need.
Our approach to swallowing problems
The first step to successful dysphagia treatment is an accurate diagnosis. That’s why our professionals take the time to thoroughly review each patient’s symptoms and perform a FEES (fiberoptic evaluation of swallowing) test to gauge throat muscle function, if necessary. There are several conditions that can lead to swallowing problems, such as:
- Esophageal strictures
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Achalasia
- Diffuse spasms
- Esophageal tumors
- Scleroderma
Our patients benefit from the expertise of our experienced team, which includes board-certified otolaryngologists Dr. Brett Scotch and Dr. Hope Bueller, speech pathologist Cara Bryan, and other professionals who collaborate to provide comprehensive treatment for our patients.
