At this time, about 2 million adult Americans are affected by taste or smell disorders. Very little is known about these problems. Our Taste and Smell Clinic uses a multidisciplinary approach to determine the etiology of a patient's taste and smell disorder. A complete evaluation for a typical patient includes smell testing, taste testing, general medical evaluation, ear, nose, and throat evaluation including flexible nasopharyngoscopy, and neurological evaluation. Clinics are held twice a month on Friday mornings with taste and smell testing generally scheduled for the day or two before.
Treatment is offered when appropriate.
If you wish to become a patient at the Taste and Smell Clinic, filling out and returning the Registration Questionnaire is the first step. Your answers will be valuable to current and future taste and smell evaluation, treatment, and research efforts. This information will remain strictly confidential. Once we have received your completed questionnaire, and you are interested in being evaluated, we will contact you to arrange an appointment.
