“In medical school, I found that I really enjoyed studying the anatomy and systems of the head and neck. Even today, I find the care of the ear, nose, and throat — from medical management to surgery — to be both interesting and challenging. But what is most interesting and challenging, and rewarding, is that I get to help others. I am very fortunate to truly enjoy what I do, from the technical aspects to the personal human interaction. This is, after all, a very human undertaking.”

“For me, compassion and lightheartedness are as important as keeping a professional bearing and striving for the best possible results. I want my patients to leave here knowing their options, understanding their treatment, and knowing what the next steps will be. I run on time, because I want them to know that I respect their time. And I want them to experience the improvement in their quality of life. This is why I became a physician... and it’s what keeps me devoted to being the best doctor I can be.”
