How it works
-
1
Initial evaluation
We evaluate your symptoms, review your tests or diagnostic imaging, and determine if you are a candidate for sialendoscopy or if you require another type of care.

Endoscopic procedure
I insert a 1.6-millimeter micro-camera through the natural salivary duct to examine the inside, remove stones, or dilate narrowings without skin incisions.

3
Follow-up and recovery
I support you during your postoperative recovery in my office to verify that saliva flows correctly and that the swelling progressively decreases.
