Tami C. Runyan, PA
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.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Duke Ambulatory Surgery Center
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 Malignant Otitis Externa. His top areas of expertise are Acoustic Neuroma, Schwannoma, Hearing Loss, Mastoidectomy, and Myringotomy.
Duke Otolaryngology And Oral Surgery Clinic - Clinic 1F
We live in a noisy world, one in which sound and our hearing abilities shape the way we communicate and interact with one another. As an ear, nose, and throat doctor and otologist, I am privileged to provide medical and surgical care to patients with ear diseases and disorders of hearing and balance, including cochlear implants and other implantable hearing devices. Every patient presents their own unique circumstances and challenges, and I am committed to providing empathetic and individualized care to meet a patient’s unique needs. I value a strong relationship with my patients and try to treat every patient as I would my own family. As a clinician-scientist with interests in the fundamental mechanisms of hearing and verbal communication, I try to bring the same level of inquisitiveness to solving my patient’s problems that I use in all aspects of my professional life. When not seeing patients, I spend my research time trying to better understand how we hear and finding better ways to improve hearing and communication. Dr. Eliades is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Malignant Otitis Externa. His top areas of expertise are Infant Hearing Loss, Vertigo, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, DFNB1, and Myringotomy.
Duke Cancer Center
I focus on treating patients with head and neck cancer, thyroid and parathyroid disorders, and maxillofacial trauma. I also have interests in microvascular (free flap) reconstruction, transoral robotic surgery, salivary endoscopy and medical education. I was privileged to do my residency training here at Duke and look forward to bringing my energy, dedication and leadership to our group.
