Voice Specialists Around the United States and World

A medical doctor who specializes in voice is known as a laryngologist. This list is an updated and modified version of the original list of laryngologists compiled by Dr. Thomas at voicedoctor.net and MJ Dance Jr. Head and Neck Rehabilitation Center. If you are or know of a physician who specializes primarily in voice disorders and would like to be added to this list, please email Dr. Chang. Let me know if there are any corrections needed as well.

A complete list of physicians who treat spasmodic dysphonia can be found here.
