He specializes in benign and malignant masses of the head and neck including the mouth, face, ears, eyes, throat, salivary glands, thryoid gland, parathyroid glands and upper airway/esophagus.  This focus includes treatment of skin cancers of the scalp, face and neck.

Dr. Kain has a passion for reconstruction after cancer or traumatic injuries including specialization in microvascular tissue transplantation and grafting.  He has completed advanced training in craniomaxillofacial trauma surgery for repairs of the facial skeleton.

He is an assistant professor within the Houston Methodist Acadmic Institutute, Houston Methodist Research Institute and Weill Cornell College of Medicine.  He is a clinical adjunct faculty member for Texas A&M College of Medicine.  He is surrounded by superb, comprehensive sub-specialty trained colleagues in the Houston Methodist Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery under chairman Dr. Mas Takashima.
