• Stuttering/ Stammering/ Cluttering: Stuttering, stammering, and cluttering are all types of fluency disorders that affect an individual's ability to speak smoothly and effectively.  
• Cleft Palate Speech Rehabilitation: Those born with a cleft palate may experience difficulties with speech due to structural abnormalities in the mouth and throat that can affect the production of sounds and the flow of air during speech.
• Aphasias, Apraxias&Dysarthrias: While Aphasia is a communication disorder resulting from damage to language centers in the brain, often caused by a stroke or brain injury, apraxia affects an individual's ability to plan and coordinate the movements required for speech. On the other hand, dysarthria is a motor speech disorder caused by damage to the muscles or nerves that control speech.
• Complex Sleep Disorders: Complex sleep disorders are a group of sleep disorders that are difficult to diagnose and treat, and often require specialized care.  These involve disturbances in sleep and wakefulness that are not typical of other common sleep disorders. 
• Head & Neck Cancer: It occurs in the nasal cavity, sinuses, throat, voice box, salivary glands, and other structures located in the head and neck region. Most common head and neck cancers are squamous cell carcinoma which develops in the lining of the mouth, throat, and voice box, and salivary gland cancer, which develops in the glands that produce saliva.
• Silent Reflux: Also known as laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), is a condition in which stomach acid flows back up into the throat and voice box, causing irritation and inflammation.

• Balloon Sinuplasty: It involves a minimally invasive surgical procedure done to ease off inflammation of the sinuses and symptoms such as difficulty breathing, nasal congestion, and facial pain.
• Cochlear Implantation: This surgical procedure involves the insertion of an electronic device in the inner ear of individuals with severe hearing loss or deafness. The implantation is recommended for individuals who have not benefited from traditional hearing aids.
• Endoscopic Septoplasty: It is a minimally invasive procedure done using an endoscope to correct a deviated septum - a common condition where the wall between the nostrils is displaced, causing breathing difficulties and other symptoms.
• Ear Revision Surgery: The surgery is often more complex than initial ear surgeries due to the scarring and changes in the ear anatomy caused by the previous surgeries. It is a surgical procedure performed to correct problems or complications that arise after previous ear surgeries. 
• Stapedectomy: The surgical procedure is used to treat hearing loss caused by otosclerosis, a condition where the middle ear bones become abnormally fixed and cannot vibrate in response to sound waves.
• Thyroid surgery: It is a surgical procedure used to treat thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, and other thyroid-related conditions. The thyroid gland in the neck produces hormones that regulate the body's metabolism.
