Director: Dr. Louis Mandel
Salivary Gland Center
The Salivary Gland Center (SGC) at Columbia Presbyterian Medical
Center was developed to meet the medical needs of patients who have
primary or secondary salivary gland problems and/or secretory dysfunction.
Specialists at SGC have expertise in diagnosing and treating a wide
variety of salivary gland diseases and related conditions, including:
- Sjogren's syndrome
- Sialolithiasis
- Neoplasms
- HIV parotid cysts
- Chronic parotitis
- Sarcoidosis
- Recurrent parotitis in children
- Viral parotidites
- Parotid hypertrophy secondary to alcoholism, diabetes,
anorexia and bulimia.
As a patient at the Salivary Gland Center, you will undergo a thorough
clinical examination and provide staff physicians with a detailed
medical history, as well as saliva samples. SGC specialists will
then use a variety of diagnostic approaches and techniques including,
as appropriate, chemical analysis, imaging, laboratory studies,
and biopsyÑto ascertain the nature and extent of your problem. The
staff at SGC will then design an individualized treatment plan for
you and, if necessary, will make referrals to outside specialists
for complementary care.
Although patient care is SGC's first consideration, the Salivary
Gland Center also aims to serve as a world-class resource for the
Columbia-Presbyterian medical community. As such, SGC welcomes referrals
from other CPMC doctors and departments whose patients might benefit
from the center's expertise.

Louis Mandel, director of the Salivary Gland Center, at 212-305-9982.
