The Facial Nerve Clinic is staffed with a highly skilled, experienced, multidisciplinary team dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of facial nerve disorders. Our team of specialized otolaryngologists (head and neck surgeons), ophthamologists,
neurotologists, and physical therapists work closely together, offering a complete range of therapies and advanced surgical techniques.
Facial nerve disorders can cause weakness, paralysis, involuntary movement or drooping of the facial muscles. These symptoms usually present on just one side of the face and can appear suddenly or happen gradually over time. These symptoms can have an impact on a person's quality of life, affecting the appearance of the eyes, smile and speach, but can also cause physical discomfort.
There are many possible causes for facial paralysis. Some of the more common causes are:
Stephen Cass, MD
Kendra Fuller, PT, NCS
Samuel Gubbels, MD
Eric Hink, MD
Herman Jenkins, MD
Adam Terella, MD
Andrew Winkler, MD
