I am a board certified ENT surgeon practicing in the Washington, D.C metro area at Medstar Washington Hospital Center. My philosophy is to treat every patient as I would want my own family member treated. I enjoy spending face to face time with my patients and developing an individualized treatment plan using the most advanced technology available. I specialize in all areas of ENT but specifically I treat cancers and tumors of the head and neck. These include diseases of the tonsils, mouth, throat, nose, thyroid, salivary glands (i.e. parotid) and sinuses. I have specialized training in head and neck cancer surgery and microvascular reconstruction, as well as in endoscopic and robotic surgery. I am also trained in salivary endoscopy. I utilize this training to treat each and every patient with the highest of standards.
