Areas of surgical specialization

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


Biography/Statement

My clinical interests include head and neck cancer, upper aerodigestive tract lesions, and complex reconstructive defects. I have further interests in transoral robotic surgery (TORS), thyroid cancer, parathyroid disease, salivary gland surgery, skin cancer of the head and neck, and locoregional reconstruction of the head and neck.

I meet many patients for the first time on some of the worst days of their lives in the setting of a new diagnosis of head and neck cancer. My goal is to provide an empathetic voice and a listening ear to my patients. I further strive to provide them with clear, distilled information to help chart a treatment path forward that is consistent with their goals and values.
