About Me

As an otolaryngologist specializing in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, I strive to truly understand each patient’s goals of care and help them make informed decisions about both surgical and non-surgical treatment options. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is building long-term relationships with patients and having the opportunity to improve their health, confidence and overall well-being.

My clinical focus includes treating nasal obstruction, performing nasal septal surgery and functional rhinoplasty, and reconstructing facial trauma and skin cancer defects. I also specialize in sleep apnea surgery, including hypoglossal nerve stimulator implantation, as well as cosmetic procedures such as neuromodulator injections and injectable dermal fillers.

I take an integrative approach to health and healing, incorporating lifestyle and nutritional recommendations into my care. Most importantly, I aim to ensure that every patient leaves our visit with a clearer understanding of their condition and the full range of treatment options available to them.

I take an integrative approach to health and healing, incorporating lifestyle and nutritional recommendations into my care.
