  • Personal Statement
  • Publications

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the ears, nose, and throat in patients from newborns to age 17. My expertise includes surgical and long-term medical management for the most complex acquired and congenital disorders, including hearing loss and birth defects. As a physician-scientist, my research focuses on airway and pediatric sleep apnea. I believe in working with families and patients to understand their particular needs to provide an individualized approach to care. I also greatly enjoy teaching and mentoring the next generation of ENT physicians.
