Overview

I have been practicing medicine since 2013 and have experience in both family medicine and otolaryngology. I currently see patients with general otolaryngology complaints and enjoy the diverse nature of disorders that affect the ears, nose, throat, head and neck. These disorders can have a significant affect on patients’ abilities to communicate with others and sense the world around them, and it is my goal to work with my patients to diagnose their ailments and prescribe an effective treatment plan to help improve their quality of life. I take a patient-centered approach to medicine whereby I listen thoughtfully to my patients concerns and ensure I take the time necessary to explain my findings and proposed plans of care. It is important to me to earn my patients trust and my hope to establish a long-term relationship to address future health concerns.

Being a physician fulfills my lifelong desire to be of service. I am fulfilled every day by helping to improve my patients’ quality of life through the diagnosis and treatment of ear diseases and skull base disorders. I take great pride in the mastery of my craft and the high standard of our teams. As an ENT doctor, otologist, and neurotologist, I enjoy serving patients of all ages from infancy to the senior years, and my expertise spans the full range of the medical and surgical management of complex ear diseases, balance disorders, and hearing disorders -- including performing cochlear implant surgery in adults and children. I value the development of strong patient-doctor relationships and am guided by the belief that every patient deserves the same compassion and high standards as I would expect for my own family. I am guided by gratitude, faith, and commitment in my professional life and in my role as a husband of over 20 years and father of a daughter and son. Dr. Francis is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Infant Hearing Loss. His top areas of expertise are Hearing Loss, Acoustic Neuroma, Schwannoma, Mastoidectomy, and Endoscopy.

Hearing and balance are among the most fundamental ways people interact with the world. As an ENT doctor, otologist, and neurotologist, I am very fortunate to work in a profession that allows me to help patients having problems with these most basic functions. Every patient I work with presents a unique and challenging problem that needs a creative solution. Whether is it surgery to remove a complex tumor at the base of the skull, placing a cochlear implant to restore hearing to the deaf, or diagnosing a complex balance problem, I am motivated to work with my patients to come up with a custom solution to their personal problem. I measure my success by my patients’ improvement and satisfaction. Dr. Kaylie is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Infant Hearing Loss. His top areas of expertise are Acoustic Neuroma, Schwannoma, Hearing Loss, Mastoidectomy, and Myringotomy.
