Voice & Swallowing Treatments at LENTS

Our Baton Rouge team is trained to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the vocal cords, larynx, upper airway, and esophagus. Whether you're managing chronic hoarseness or difficulty swallowing certain foods, we'll work with you to pinpoint the underlying cause and provide a customized care plan to help you recover your voice and comfort.

Restoring Your Voice With Precision and Compassion

At LENTS, we recognize that your voice is deeply personal. For educators, public speakers, performers, or anyone who speaks regularly, vocal fatigue or hoarseness can disrupt daily life. Even subtle voice changes can be a sign of a deeper issue. Our Baton Rouge ENT specialists offer personalized voice evaluations and treatment strategies to help patients regain clarity, confidence, and vocal strength.

Vocal Cord & Voice Examination

When you visit us for voice concerns, the first step is a detailed exam using state-of-the-art tools that allow us to clearly visualize the vocal cords.

Laryngoscopy – A thin scope is inserted to examine the vocal cords in real time.
Videostrobolaryngoscopy – This advanced method uses high-speed imaging to show vocal cord movement in slow motion, revealing subtle abnormalities.

These tests are quick, comfortable, and essential to creating an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Treatment for Complex Voice Disorders

Our Baton Rouge providers have extensive experience treating a range of voice conditions, including:

Laryngitis
Vocal cord paresis or paralysis
Spasmodic dysphonia
Muscle tension dysphonia
Chronic hoarseness
Vocal nodules or polyps

Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include voice therapy, medication, or minimally invasive procedures. Our goal is to restore healthy vocal function without compromising your lifestyle.

Swallowing Disorder Treatment

Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, can arise from acid reflux, neurological issues, muscular disorders, or structural abnormalities. If eating or drinking causes discomfort, coughing, or a sensation of food getting stuck, we can help. At LENTS in Baton Rouge, we offer thorough swallowing evaluations and treatments, which may include:

Swallowing therapy with a speech-language pathologist
Imaging studies such as FEES or modified barium swallow tests
Surgical intervention if structural correction is needed

We tailor every treatment to your needs—ensuring safety, comfort, and long-term function.
