Laryngology
Board Certified
I provide individualized care, with the highest level of integrity, to each patient affected by voice, swallowing, and airway disorders. I bring cutting edge knowledge and techniques to patient care. Most importantly, I approach patient care with a team philosophy that incorporates the patient, family, and other healthcare practitioners into the decision making process.
My clinical interests include treatment of voice disorders, complex dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), endoscopic management of laryngeal cancers, airway reconstruction, and diseases of the upper airway. I am also interested in office based laryngeal, airway, and swallowing interventions.
