What makes us special?

The Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center specializes in ear, nose, and throat diseases, and communication disorders such as hearing, speech, language, and voice problems.  Doctors and communication specialists work together as a team for the benefit of patients being treated in one or more of the Center’s many closely related clinics. The Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center for Otolaryngology and Communication Sciences was designed so that medical practitioners, speech-language pathologists, teachers of the deaf and hard-of-hearing, audiologists, and rehabilitation therapists could work side-by-side to meet all the needs of our patients.

The Center is composed of the Vanderbilt Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences and the Vanderbilt Department of Otolaryngology. The world-class physicians, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, therapists and educators are known experts in their fields. They diagnose and treat adult and pediatric patients within the Bill Wilkerson Center and in Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s hospitals and clinics and specialize in unique treatment options using the latest procedures and technologies.
