Prompt appointment confirmation with Dr. Rajesh Bhardwaj
Expert evaluation and individualized medical or surgical therapies for all voice, throat, and airway concerns.
Inflammation of the tonsils and adenoids is one of the most common throat conditions, particularly in children, though it can affect adults as well.
Recurrent Tonsillitis: When tonsil infections occur frequently (typically 7 or more episodes in one year, 5 per year for 2 years, or 3 per year for 3 years), they can significantly impair quality of life. Dr. Bhardwaj evaluates each case carefully—recommending surgery only when truly necessary and when conservative measures have been exhausted.
Peritonsillar Abscess (Quinsy): A complication of acute tonsillitis where a pus-filled pocket forms near the tonsil, causing severe unilateral throat pain, difficulty swallowing with drooling, "hot potato" voice (muffled speech), trismus (difficulty opening the mouth), fever, and malaise. We provide prompt needle aspiration or incision and drainage with antibiotics.
Inflammation of the pharynx or larynx, which may be:
• Acute: Usually viral, often following a cold or flu
• Chronic: Persistent inflammation lasting weeks or months from irritants, acid reflux, or voice overuse
Our evaluation includes fiber-optic laryngoscopy to assess vocal fold health. Treatment includes voice rest, hydration, acid suppression, or voice therapy.
These benign lesions on the vocal folds typically arise from voice overuse or misuse, smoking, or chronic irritation.
Diagnosis via high-definition video laryngoscopy, voice therapy with a qualified speech-language pathologist, surgical excision (Microlaryngeal Surgery) when conservative measures fail, and post-operative voice rehabilitation. Dr. Bhardwaj has extensive experience in phonosurgery preserving vocal quality.
Paralysis or paresis of one or both vocal folds can result from thyroid/neck surgery, tumors, neurological conditions, or idiopathic causes.
Evaluation includes laryngeal EMG and imaging. Treatment ranges from voice therapy to surgical medialization laryngoplasty (thyroplasty), arytenoid adduction, or vocal fold injection augmentation.
Unlike typical acid reflux (GERD), LPR often occurs without heartburn. Stomach acid travels up to the throat, causing:
Diagnosed through laryngoscopy showing posterior laryngeal changes, treated with lifestyle changes, dietary guidance, and acid suppression therapy.
Originates from upper airway obstruction involving the soft palate, uvula, tonsils, or base of the tongue.
History, nasal endoscopy, and sleep study referrals. Treatment includes lifestyle changes, CPAP, oral appliances, and surgical interventions such as Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), LAUP, tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy, tongue base reduction, Pillar procedure, and hyoid suspension.
Swallowing disorders affecting nutrition, hydration, and comfort:
Comprehensive evaluation via fiber-optic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), videofluoroscopy (VFSS) referrals, swallowing therapy, dilation of strictures, and surgical correction.
Early detection saves lives. Dr. Bhardwaj provides thorough screening, biopsy, staging, surgical management (laryngectomy, partial laryngectomy, neck dissection), and oncology coordination.
Goiters, thyroid nodules (ultrasound & FNAC), and thyroid cancer. Total or partial thyroidectomy with meticulous preservation of recurrent laryngeal nerves and parathyroid glands.
Specialized care for singers, teachers, and public speakers: videostroboscopy, muscle tension dysphonia diagnosis, voice therapy, phonosurgery, and vocal hygiene.
State-of-the-art diagnostic facilities for precise vocal and airway mapping.
We use flexible, thin fiber-optic telescopes passed gently through the nose to provide a clear, magnified view of the throat, larynx, and vocal folds during breathing, speaking, and phonation. Evaluated structures include:
For patients with voice disorders, we offer videostroboscopy—a sophisticated technique using a strobe light to create slow-motion images of vocal fold vibration. This allows assessment of:
For patients with vocal fold paralysis, EMG helps evaluate nerve function and predict recovery.
When indicated, we utilize advanced imaging for evaluating:
Expert surgical interventions preserving vocal quality and restoring upper airway function.
Surgical removal of the tonsils, indicated for recurrent tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis, peritonsillar abscess, sleep-disordered breathing/OSA, and suspicious lesions.
Removal of the adenoid tissue, often combined with tonsillectomy, indicated for recurrent infections, nasal obstruction and mouth breathing, sleep-disordered breathing, and otitis media with effusion.
A precision surgical technique performed under general anesthesia using an operating microscope, allowing Dr. Bhardwaj to remove lesions from the vocal folds with exceptional accuracy.
For patients with subglottic stenosis or airway narrowing, we offer reconstructive surgical techniques to restore the airway.
This procedure removes excess tissue from the soft palate, uvula, tonsils, and pharynx—widening the airway for patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
Surgical implants placed in the larynx to bring a paralyzed vocal fold to the midline, improving voice strength and preventing aspiration.
For patients with laryngeal cancer, we offer organ-preservation surgeries (partial laryngectomy) as well as total laryngectomy when necessary, with comprehensive post-operative speech and swallowing rehabilitation.
Children face unique ENT challenges. Our clinic is trusted by parents and schools for managing:
Dr. Bhardwaj's calm, patient demeanor ensures that children feel at ease during examinations and procedures.
