My desire to serve others led me to pursue medicine. I specialize in hearing disorders, chronic ear disease, balance disturbance and tumors of the lateral skull base. Through a fellowship at the House Ear Clinic, I received additional subspecialty training in otology, neurotology and skull base surgery. I have a passion for serving patients and providing excellent clinical and surgical care. I have published numerous articles in peer reviewed journals and book chapters in academic textbooks. I enjoy running, sports, being part of a faith community, spending time with family, and humanitarian work. I have traveled to Africa, the Caribbean and Central America educating other physicians and providing otolaryngologic medical and surgical care.
