He is a bilingual international lecturer and has presented throughout the world on the topics of airway reconstruction and voice disorders in children.

At the beginning of the pediatric voice program at the University of Cincinnati (UC) Medical Center, “we were satisfied with successful airway reconstruction in our patients that allowed them to have some voice,” says Alessandro de Alarcon, MD, MPH, UC Health.

Over the last 10 years, UC Medical Center has become concerned with assessing the quality of pediatric patients’ voices as they grow, including soft/weak voices and other voice problems that can be improved and treated. “Patients who have had complex surgery for breathing now want to address these issues, and we want to make their voices better without worsening their breathing. Maintaining this balance has become our expertise,” explains Dr. De Alarcon, associate professor, otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, and director, Center for Pediatric Voice Disorders, UC Medical Center/and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
