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.
