The SIU Medicine Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic now offers in-office CT scans, bringing advanced imaging directly to our patients.

With on-site imaging, our team can provide faster answers, develop treatment plans sooner and make more informed surgical decisions, all while reducing the need for appointments at outside imaging centers. The result is a more convenient experience for patients and the potential for earlier detection and treatment when it matters most.

This is an exciting addition to our clinic and another step forward for providing exceptional patient care.

Voice matters. For patients living with irreversible vocal cord paralysis, it can mean the difference between struggling to speak and confidently being heard.

Dr. Cindy Moore, a fellowship-trained laryngologist, successfully performs laryngeal reinnervation, an advanced procedure that restores nerve function to a paralyzed vocal cord. After completing advanced training in laryngeal reinnervation in Rouen, France, she brings world-class expertise to patients across central and southern Illinois. By reconnecting a healthy nerve to the damaged one, the surgery helps restore muscle tone, improve voice quality and reduce the risk of aspiration.

This highly specialized procedure offers new hope for patients with irreversible unilateral vocal cord paralysis. Dr. Moore is the only fellowship-trained laryngologist in central and southern Illinois offering laryngeal reinnervation.

Some of the best evenings are the ones spent with our community.

Last Thursday, we had a great time at the Levitt Concert Series connecting with our community. From handing out hearing protection to sharing plenty of purple stress noses, we loved being part of a fun evening filled with music, conversation and connection.

Thanks for having us, Levitt!
