About Us
The center provides state-of-the-art minimally invasive care for patients suffering from disorders affecting the saliva glands. The center’s physicians provide diagnostic evaluations as well as outpatient surgery for inflammatory conditions of the salivary glands. Stones which form within the glands can often be removed with tiny 1mm endoscopes inserted through the salivary duct openings in the mouth. Patients usually recover more quickly from these procedures, which are often done with a combination of local anesthesia and sedation.
Sometimes, if the stone is large, the doctor is required to make a small incision to create a larger opening to remove the stone Patients who are not candidates for a minimally invasive procedure can have traditional surgery where the gland is removed, but most cases can avoid these procedures and the creation of a scar.
