John Paul (J.P.) Gniady, M.D. Silverstein Institute
When Dr. John Paul “J.P.” Gniady, a board certified Otolaryngologist, joined the Silverstein Institute last year, he brought a new level of expertise in professional voice care. Dr. Gniady is the region’s only fellowship trained Laryngologist. He trained at Harvard’s Massachusetts General Hospital Voice Center alongside Dr. Steven Zeitels, who pioneered the type of advanced laser vocal surgery that has helped stars like Adele, Steven Tyler and Dick Vitale. Although singers and actors certainly rely on their voices professionally, so do teachers, lawyers and others who he treats for a wide variety of voice disorders. Additionally, for patients with early stage cancers of the larynx, or voice box, Dr. Gniady’s skill with this angiolytic laser surgery procedure preserves more of the vocal cord because it is much more precise and oftentimes spares the need for follow up radiation treatment. As well as these areas of specialization, he also treats general ear, nose and throat patients. A native of New Orleans, Dr. Gniady received his medical degree from Louisiana State University School of Medicine and completed his ENT residency at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia. Growing up as a musician initially attracted him to ENT and laryngology, which gave him the opportunity to merge his interests. However, it is the personal interactions with patients and the scientific ability to find new ways to solve their problems that continues to motivate him. Although he has enjoyed the areas many attractions, it was the opportunity to work with the Silverstein Institute that drew him here. The Silverstein Institute has earned international recognition because of its standard of medical excellence and dedication 1901 Floyd Street Sarasota, FL 34239 941.366.9222 www.earsinus.com
