About me
Nazaneen Grant, MD, is a board-certified, fellowship-trained laryngeal (voice box) specialist.

Dr. Grant has special training in Botox for spasmodic dysphonia, laser surgery in the voice box, and awake procedures that include vocal fold paralysis rehabilitation and managing professional voice.
Her research interests include laryngeal surgical stimulation, laryngeal papillomatosis, Parkinson's-related voice and swallowing issues, and laser effects on the larynx.
