"An interest in adult and pediatric health care and an interest in surgery led me to choose a career in otolaryngology, providing the opportunity for both medical, and when necessary, surgical treatment of medical conditions involving the ears, nose and throat. In the practice of this specialty, I try to provide compassionate health care in a cost effective, time efficient fashion to improve our patients' quality of life."
