Throat & neck

 

 

Recurrent throat infections can have a significant effect on the quality of our lives. In addition to the pain and expense of treatment many people have to take time off from work or school. Enlarged tonsils and adenoids can interfere with swallowing, speech and breathing. They can also contribute to sleep apnea, attention problems, speech problems, bad breath and bed wetting. Coblation is a modern tecnhique that enables the surgeon to remove the tonsils and adenoids with less pain than than traditional methods. Our physicians were the first to introduce this technology to eastern Connecticut.

 

Hoarseness, persistent throat pain, difficulty swallowing, a lump in the neck or thyroid enlargement may be a cause for concern. Although many times these symptoms are due to minor conditions, they may be indications of serious problems. We have the expertise to diagnose and treat these problems.
