Philosophy of Patient Care:
“I am fortunate to practice a specialty treating patients of all ages with a wide range of conditions affecting the ears, nose and throat. I seek to empower my patients to choose the best possible treatment option for their unique goals and needs. Effectively communicating the nature of your diagnosis is the first and most important step in achieving optimal results, whether medical or surgical treatment is pursued.”
