Why Choose Dr Lentari?
Voice Disorders & Throat Conditions We Treat
Dr Lentari offers comprehensive care for a range of functional, inflammatory, and structural disorders of the throat and voice:
Hoarseness & Vocal Strain
Chronic hoarseness, fatigue after speaking, and reduced vocal endurance are often signs of overuse or underlying voice conditions. Dr Lentari provides specialist assessments and referrals for therapy where needed.
Laryngo-Pharyngeal Reflux (LPR)
Acid reflux affecting the throat can cause irritation, coughing, and a lump-in-throat sensation. We can confirm the diagnosis and offer tailored treatment plans to manage symptoms and prevent recurrence.
Vocal Fold Pathologies
Detailed ENT examination helps identify causes of dysphonia, including structural abnormalities or inflammation of the vocal folds.
Dr Lentari also performs stroboscopic laryngeal assessment.
Throat Infections & Inflammation
Treatment for tonsillitis, sore throat, chronic throat clearing, and tonsil stones, with follow-up care and diagnostic clarification.
Swallowing Difficulties
For patients experiencing discomfort or food sticking when swallowing, an ENT evaluation can rule out more serious causes and provide relief strategies.
"Lump in Throat" Sensation
A common concern, often linked to reflux or muscle tension. Full assessment ensures accurate diagnosis and peace of mind.
Voice Disorders
As a certified Phoniatrician, Dr Lentari diagnoses and medically manages voice-related conditions including:
Vocal cord nodules and cysts
Muscle tension dysphonia
Functional dysphonia
Psychogenic voice changes
She develops a tailored treatment plan for each patient, which may include surgery, voice therapy, or psychotherapy as appropriate. Dr Lentari collaborates closely with speech-language pathologists and vocal coaches to implement the recommended therapy.
All voice cases are assessed through a dedicated Voice ENT consultation, including detailed examination and, where indicated, stroboscopy of the larynx.
