Provider Expertise

Clinical Interest for Patients

I am interested in the medical and surgical management of diseases of the ear and skull base. I have particular interests cochlear implantation in children and adults, acoustic neuroma, otosclerosis, skull base tumors, facial nerve disorders, congenital ear disorders and the treatment of vertigo.


Care Philosophy

I feel fortunate to be able to help patients with otologic disease in clinic and, when needed, with surgery. I aim to provide patients with a thorough understanding of their disease and the options available for treatment. Doing so allows us then to work as a team in making health care decisions that will be best aligned with each patient's goals and beliefs.
