About Us
The complexity of the larynx, voice box, creates an inherent difficulty in diagnosing and treating voice
and swallowing disorders. It is important that one finds the proper clinician experienced in the care
of such disease processes. A laryngologist is an otolaryngologist (ENT) who has specialized
training and experience in dealing with these disorders.
Craig H. Zalvan, MD, FACS is the medical director for the Institute for Voice and Swallowing
Disorders at Phelp's Memorial Hospital Center in Sleepy Hollow, NY. This institute is the first of its
kind in Westchester, NY. Our team includes Westchester's only full time laryngologist and a team of
speech language pathologists providing the highest level of care to patients with problems of their
voice or swallowing ability. We employ speech language pathologists (SLP) with classical music
and professional voice background to help our professional voice users achieve their absolute best
voice. Our SLP's are also experts in the diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders.
Dr. Zalvan is a member of ENT Faculty Practice (www.entfaculty.com), an otolaryngology (ENT)
specialty group diagnosing and treating all aspects of diseases of the ear, nose and throat. Our
doctors are among the finest ENT surgeons in the country. We have subspecialists in Head and
Neck Surgery, Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery, Sinus Surgery, Pediatric Otolaryngology,
and Laryngology. Our members include Dr. Augustine Moscatello, Dr. David Merer, Dr. Angela
Damiano, Dr. Katrina Stidham, Dr. Lianne DeSerres, Dr. Steven Hemmerdinger, and Dr. Craig
Zalvan. Drs. Moscatello, Merer, and Zalvan are routinely elected by Castle Connolly as the Top
Doctors edition of Westchester Magazine.
