About Me

I am an otologist/neurotologist who is board-certified in both otolaryngology – head and neck surgery and neurotology. An otologist provides advanced care for diseases of the ears, nose and throat. As a board-certified neurotologist, I have additional training to operate on the parts of the brain and nervous system related to hearing and balance.

I’m also skilled in cochlear implantation and treating sudden hearing loss.
