Smell Disorder Clinics

If you are experiencing a partial or complete loss of your sense of smell, consult your family physician or an otolaryngologist (medical specialist who deals with the ears, nose and throat). The Sense of Smell Institute (SOSI) has no medical expertise in olfactory disorders and offers no evaluation, diagnosis or treatment. The following is a partial list of clinics in the U.S. and abroad that specialize in smell and taste disorders that have come to our attention; there may be other clinics and treatment centers not listed here. Inclusion on this list in no way implies a recommendation or endorsement by SOSI. SOSI has no way of evaluating any clinic or treatment center.
