Comprehensive Voice Evaluation

Your voice is special. That’s why it deserves much more than your usual doctor’s visit.

What happens during a comprehensive voice evaluation? As it turns out, the answer is a lot. When you see Los Angeles Laryngologist and Voice Specialist Dr. Rafii for a comprehensive voice evaluation, you will receive:
● A detailed Voice History, where we’ll dive deep into how you use your voice for your work, your life, and your art, and what your short- and long-term vocal goals are.● A comprehensive medical history, with a special focus on conditions that have interplay with the voice, such as reflux, allergies, sinus and breathing problems, lung issues, and autoimmune and hormonal problems.● Perceptual voice evaluation, using established techniques to assess the quality of your voice while you actually perform various vocal tasks (yes, I may ask you to sing!).● Manual laryngeal palpation, to assess the anatomy and health of the joints, muscles, and tissues making up your vocal instrument.● Videostroboscopy, for direct visualization of the vocal cords.● A complete voice treatment plan, made in collaboration with you and customized for your unique needs. No one-size-fits-all treatments here!● Coordination and collaboration with other members of your voice team, including voice therapists, voice teachers, vocal coaches.
