Head and Neck Research, Head and Neck Surgeon

Biography/Statement

As the sixth leading cause of cancer, head and neck cancers result in tens of thousands of deaths each year, demanding our energy, time, and resources until this disease is eradicated. We strive to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic tools to help us fight this devastating disease. Use the links above to learn more about our efforts. Our laboratory harnesses cutting edge technology using advanced sequencing techniques (e.g. single cell sequencing) along with a detailed understanding of biochemistry, cell biology, and animal models to characterize this challenging disease.

Areas of surgical specialization in Head and Neck Surgery

Head and Neck Surgeon, Reconstructive Head & Neck Surgery

Biography/Statement

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Surgery at Cedars-Sinai with a dual appointment with the Department of Plastic Surgery.

I completed a fellowship in Head and Neck Oncology and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery at UCSF.  Prior to my fellowship I completed a residency in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at UCLA.  I completed medical school in a medical scientist training program at NYU School of medicine.  Prior to that I earned a BA at UC Berkeley.

My clinical practice is focused on reconstructive microsurgery with a focus on mandibular reconstruction. In conjunction with OMFS we have developed one of the few Jaw-in-a-day programs in the United States, offering immediate reconstruction with implants in patients undergoing mandibular reconstruction.

I also have a focus on minimally invasive surgical approaches including the use of transoral robotic surgery for oropharyngeal tumors as well as minimal access approaches to the parotid gland.
