Pediatric Otolaryngology
“It’s a privilege to collaborate with parents to help children live their best lives.”
My Approach
As a pediatric otolaryngologist, I take great pleasure in working with children, both in clinic and in surgery. I perform complex reconstruction of the larynx and trachea and resolve vascular anomalies, pediatric breathing, voice and swallowing problems, and fetal and neonatal airway conditions. I partner with parents as equals to save lives and restore function to its fullest potential. I'm driven to improve the quality, safety, and value of children's surgical care.
