Overview
I am an otolaryngology physician assistant. I see patients from pediatric to geriatrics who may have concerns with the ears, such as ear infections, all the way to serious conditions like head and neck cancers. The most important thing for me is creating a trustworthy and comfortable environment so that patients feel that I have given them all my time to answer their questions, help them fully understand their health problems, and feel confident in our treatment plan and making decisions for their health care needs. The head and neck encompass all of the special senses, so they usually define us, help us interact with the world, and help us enjoy our world. It is gratifying to see someone’s face light up when they can hear for the first time or improve someone’s quality of life by fitting them with hearing instrumentation.

Being a physician fulfills my lifelong desire to be of service.

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.

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.
