At the Medical College of Wisconsin, Dr. Blumin focuses his practice on diseases of the larynx and the treatment of vocal professionals in all walks of life. He has a special interest and has been nationally recognized for his care of patients with spasmodic dysphonia, a neurologic disorder of the larynx.
