“In ear-nose-throat medicine, we have the opportunity to encounter, diagnose, and treat a wide variety of conditions and situations. This variety was a big part of my decision to devote my career to this specialty. Initially, I found the complexity of head and neck anatomy very compelling. After more than three decades in practice, I am intrigued and compelled by the many different kinds of patients, cases, problems, and potential solutions. I became a physician in order to make a positive difference in people’s lives. With all the variables involved, I’m driven to consider them all and put my experience to work finding the best possible solution.”

“In the quest to help a patient, I’ve learned that listening is among the most important tools I have as a specialist physician. In my experience, listening carefully is the key to solving even the most complex problems. And being caring and sympathetic is part of that process. My objective is to truly help people, and for me that starts with truly caring about them, their needs, and the effectiveness of my care.”
