North Shore Otolaryngology offers the premier outpatient location for FEESST on Long Island. Patients receive this state of the art, non-radiographic alternative to modified barium swallow studies with immediate diagnosis and treatment recommendations. FEESST is the test of choice for patients with a history of difficulty swallowing, neurological disorders or reflux. FEESST allows for the direct visualization of laryngeal anatomy, assessment of airway protection, and ability to handle various food consistencies safely. Laryngopharyngeal reflux can also be directly visualized during this examination.

Using Transnasal Esophagoscopy (TNE) we are able to evaluate the esophagus for various disorders, including esophagitits, Barrets Disorder, cancer, and hiatal hernias. This is performed comfortably in our office, using only local anesthesia without the need for sedation.
