Summary
- I treat all diseases of the ears, nose and throat and specialize in sinus and skull base disorders. I have a special research and clinical interest in minimally-invasive sinus procedures including balloon sinuplasty, steroid eluting implant placement, inferior turbinate reduction, eustachian tube dilation, and nasal valve repair. I have published on evidence-based antibiotic usage, balloon sinuplasty and outcomes of sinus surgery. I am dedicated to improving the quality of life of both adult and pediatric patients with sinus problems and allergies.
