Dr. Bryson graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in 2004 with honors. While in medical school, he decided to pursue a career in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery and completed his residency training at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. After completing his training in North Carolina, he completed a fellowship in laryngeal surgery and voice rehabilitation at the Harvard Medical School Program at the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for laryngeal surgery and voice rehabilitation.Most recently, Dr. Bryson completed and graduated from the Weatherhead School of Management with an executive MBA at Case Western Reserve University.

His specialty interests encompass the full range of voice, airway and oropharyngeal swallowing disorders including: medical and surgical care of the professional/performer's voice, benign vocal cord lesions such as nodules or polyps, vocal cord dysplasia or early cancer, vocal cord papilloma, vocal cord paralysis, neurolaryngological problems such as spasmodic dysphonia, Zenker's diverticulum and cricopharyngeal dysphagia.

    I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Bryson. A previous doctor prescribed sinus surgery to fix a voice issue I was having and Dr. Bryson confirmed that that treatment was not the right course of action. He set me up with speech language pathologist that are helping me with my voice issue. This is a great relief to me as I am a professional voice user and rely on my voice for my living, I feel so confident in his treatment and prescribed plan. I would recommend him to any person who needs an ENT.
