Clinical Interests
I specialize in the management of benign and malignant tumors using minimally-invasive techniques, and advanced head and neck oncologic and reconstructive surgeries.

Care Philosophy
I strive to provide treatments aimed at minimizing post operative pain for my patients, and want to take time to educate my patients on individual treatment needs, addressing the fear and uncertainty of post operative pain.
