My practice encompasses medical and surgical treatments of diseases related to the head and neck in children. As a pediatric otolaryngologist I am fortunate to be on the front lines providing solutions for common problems in children such as chronic ear infections, obstructive sleep apnea and chronic sinus and nasal drainage. I work closely with other pediatric providers to deal with complex issues, many of which manifest at birth. My primary interests include endoscopic management of the pediatric airway, hearing options for children with congenital or acquired hearing loss e.g. cochlear implants, treatment of chronic ear disease and surgical management of cleft lip and palate. My job is to help families navigate choices and find optimal solutions for their children's health and well-being. My joy is to see the children doing well.
