Areas of surgical specialization in Head and Neck Surgery

Endocrine Surgery, Head and Neck Surgeon, Reconstructive Head & Neck Surgery

Biography/Statement

I’m trained in general Otolaryngology with additional fellowship training in Head and Neck cancer surgery and microvascular reconstruction. I perform many types of ear, nose, and throat surgery including transoral robotic surgery, transoral laser surgery, thyroid and parathyroid surgery, salivary gland surgery, as well as surgery for all types of benign and malignant/cancerous tumors that can occur in the head and neck. I try to treat every patient with the honesty and individualized care I would want my family members to receive. I chose this career because I want to help people, and I will work as hard as I can to do that. We have a large team of people here at Loyola dedicated to providing the best possible care for our patients.

Endocrine Surgery, Head and Neck Research, Head and Neck Surgeon, Reconstructive Head & Neck Surgery

Biography/Statement

My interest in head and neck oncology began early in my exposure to otolaryngology. During my Otolaryngology-Head and Neck surgery residency, I developed a profound respect for the planning and complex decision making that is involved in head and neck tumor ablation and reconstruction of the associated defect. I then pursued additional training and am completing my fellowship in Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery/Microvascular Reconstruction at the University of Florida.

My research interests are centered around quality improvement and studying ways to reduce complications in head and neck surgery to improve patient experience and outcomes.
