Should we assume EVERYONE has reflux until proven otherwise?\\xa0 Does reflux cause global warming?\\xa0 If there\\u2019s a post-nasal drip, is there a pre-nasal drip?\\xa0 Where\\u2019s all that mucus coming from anyway?\\xa0 On today\\u2019s episode we discuss the epidemics of reflux and post-nasal drip with laryngologist Dr. Matthew Clary, an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.\\xa0 Dr. Clary went to medical school at The Ohio State, started his otolaryngology residency at George Washington, which is where I met him, as I was in DC, too, at Georgetown at the same time.\\xa0 After two years, he defected and transferred to Thomas Jefferson University, now the Sidney Kimmel Medical College and then did a laryngology fellowship at UCSF.

Dr. Clary and I discuss laryngopharyngeal reflux and post-nasal drip and other conditions one should be considering if your patient has one of these, but doesn\\u2019t seem to be improving.\\xa0 We discuss common misconceptions about these conditions and how many patients with complaints like globus, throat clearing, and throat mucus may have a voice disorder.\\xa0 He gives us recommendations for some simple exercises that might help and we end with some advice for professional voice users like us physicians, who, like it or not, are professional voice uses because we speak to our patients all day long.\\xa0

He does not have a presence on social media, so if you are looking to find him, you\\u2019ll have to make an appointment.\\xa0 Here\\u2019s his professional website.\\xa0 He takes a dang good picture.
