About Me

I am an otologist/neurotologist, which means I focus on ear-related conditions such as hearing and balance disorders. As a physician, I enjoy helping my patients improve their quality of life and be more self-sufficient by achieving better hearing and balance outcomes. When I’m not working, I like spending time with family, volunteering and playing pickup basketball.
