Head and Neck Surgeon, Reconstructive Head & Neck Surgery
I am a fellowship trained head & neck surgeon, specializing in all aspects of ablative head & neck surgery including microvascular reconstruction and trans-oral robotic surgery. I am a native of Long Island, New York and received my undergraduate degree in Speech & Hearing Sciences at Northwestern University. I then obtained my M.D. degree at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington, DC. From there I went on to complete my residency training in Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery at Northwestern University and a fellowship in Head & Neck Surgery and Microvascular Reconstruction at the University of California Davis.
I have a particular interest in treating advanced skin cancers of the head, face and neck. Additionally, microvascular and regional flap reconstruction of head & neck surgical and traumatic defects makes up a significant proportion of my current practice. I take great pride in educating not only my patients, but also medical students and our department’s resident physicians. Currently, I am in charge of organizing medical student Otolaryngology education at the University of Tennessee.

My focus is head and neck surgical oncology and microvascular reconstruction. My research interests focus on developing an ERAS pathway for head and neck surgical patients with an emphasis on sarcopenia research in head and neck cancer patients.
