FMOL Health | Our Lady of the Lake Head and Neck Center

Patients are often referred to our team for symptoms that may require specialized evaluation, including:

• Difficulty swallowing
• Pain with swallowing
• Changes in voice
• A lump or mass in the neck
• A tongue or throat mass
• Persistent ear pain
• Difficulty opening the mouth
• Unexplained weight loss

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, our team can help determine the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment options.

The team treats head and neck cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, HPV-positive oropharynx cancer, thyroid cancer, salivary gland cancer, melanoma and skin cancers of the head and neck.

Referral needs may depend on your insurance plan and reason for visit. Patients can call the clinic for help understanding the next step.

Your physician will review your history, complete a head and neck exam and may perform an endoscopic exam. Your care options will be reviewed with you before a treatment plan is recommended.

Not always. Your physician will review your diagnosis, symptoms and treatment options with you. When surgery is not the right next step, the team will help guide you to the most appropriate care pathway.
