Care for the Professional Voice

We understand that your voice is more than just sound — it is your career, your identity, and your livelihood. Dr. Woo specializes in the evaluation, treatment, and protection of professional voices, including those of singers, actors, broadcasters, clergy, teachers, attorneys, and executives. His decades of experience in laryngology and voice science allow him to offer highly individualized care to meet the unique demands placed on professional voice users.

Advanced Diagnostics for the Professional Voice

Subtle changes in voice quality can have a profound impact on professional performance. Dr. Woo utilizes advanced diagnostic tools to uncover irregularities:

Common Conditions Treated

Professional voice users are vulnerable to a range of vocal conditions, often triggered by heavy use, injury, or underlying medical issues.

Conditions treated include:

Treatment Plans

Protecting your voice is our highest priority. Dr. Woo favors conservative, voice-preserving approaches whenever possible, with surgical interventions reserved only when absolutely necessary.

Treatment options include:

  • Specialized voice therapy
  • Medical management of contributing conditions (such as reflux)
  • In-office minimally invasive procedures
  • Precision microlaryngeal surgery for vocal fold lesions

Treatment plans support full recovery while minimizing time away from professional activities.

Early Evaluation Matters

When it comes to the professional voice, early intervention is critical. If you experience any of the following, an evaluation is recommended:

  • Hoarseness or voice change lasting longer than one to two weeks
  • Loss of vocal range, flexibility, or control
  • Increased effort to produce sound
  • Vocal fatigue after speaking or singing
  • Changes in vibrato, pitch, or onset

Early diagnosis can prevent long-term damage and facilitate a faster, safer return to your work.
