About Me

I am an otologist/neurotologist who is board-certified in both otolaryngology – head and neck surgery and neurotology. As an otologist, I provide advanced surgical care for diseases of the hearing and balance systems. My additional board-certification as a neurotologist gives me the expertise 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.
