Overview
Services
I am dedicated to the care of children and their ear, nose and throat needs. I am committed to the care of children with complex medical needs, and treat each child with the individualized care that he or she deserves.
I am a board-certified Otolaryngologist and Head and Neck Surgeon with accredited fellowship training and subspecialty certification in Complex Pediatric Otolaryngology. My clinical interests include complex airway management, airway reconstruction, sinonasal disorders, congenital head and neck masses, parotid masses, and thyroid/parathyroid disease.
As a mentor to medical students, residents, and fellows, I have strong interests in medical education and training future generations of physicians. Along with my clinical interests, I spend a large part of my time furthering the frontier of academic otolaryngology. For my research in pediatric otolaryngology and healthcare disparities, I have received the Shirley Baron Research Award from the Triological Society, and am a two-time recipient of the Charles Ferguson Research Award from the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology.
