Dr. Bastian diagnosed my Abductor Spasmodic Dysphonia. He offered Botox for treatment and was able to get me scheduled as soon as I was ready to try it. I’ve had about 10 shots now and most of them have been beneficial, which is far better than most other doctors who claim to treat ABSD.

I was very impressed witht he Voice Clinic and especially with Dr. Bastain. I have spasmodic dystonia and have had botox for over 10 years but for the past two years my doctor in my home state has not been able to "hit the right spot" therefore I have suffered with no useable voice to the point that I had to retire from my job, and became very depressed. After insisting that I be referred to a specialist to help me, I came here and have a voice and am thrilled with the results. I thank God thats I was able to be directed to this doctor and that it has made such an improvement in my quality of life. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR EXPERTISE AND CARE.

Dr. Bastian utilized precise diagnostics to correctly assess my daughter's voice loss and predict her outcome. We were impressed by him, and all of the staff including the SP. Quality care all around.
