Care Philosophy

I am a pediatric otolaryngologist dedicated to clinical care of patients and families, education and training of future physician leaders, and healthcare delivery improvement. My clinical focuses are surgical and non-surgical treatment of disorders of the airway and feeding, surgical management of thyroid and parathyroid diseases, and sleep apnea - including upper airway resistance and CPAP intolerance. As an educator and program leader in healthcare delivery, I focus on improving the value of care delivered through multidisciplinary team clinics and integrated care networks.
