Dr. Salgado is a native San Diegan, and graduated from University of California, San Diego. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree at U C Davis, and completed his internship in General Surgery at Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto. Prior to joining Pacific ENT in Solana Beach, he returned to U C Davis, where he completed a five-year post-doctoral residency program in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery. There, he developed an interest in the diagnosis & treatment of voice and swallowing disorders. He was one of the U C Davis surgeons on a team that performed a successful laryngeal transplant. Dr. Salgado has participated in numerous research projects, and publications. At Pacific ENT, he plans to continue his research in the treatment of abnormalities in Voice & Swallowing. During his tenure at UC Davis, he received several Honors & Awards, including the UC Davis Otolaryngology Excellence Award in 2005. Dr. Salgado practices the full range of Otolaryngology, with an emphasis in Laryngology (Voice & Swallowing). He uses state of the art, high definition equipment to perform an array of in-office procedures, which once required general anesthesia. These minimally invasive methods are safer, quicker, and require less down-time for the patient. Dr. Salgado uses the most advanced options for treating voice & swallowing disorders, including: dysphagia, dysphonia, esophageal stricture, Zenker’s diverticulum, vocal fold augmentation, laryngeal papilloma, subglottic/tracheal stenosis, larygopharyngeal reflux, spasmodic dysphonia, vocal fold polyps, vocal fold paralysis, presbylarynx, and reflux therapy.
