Clinical Interests
I am interested in helping patients with a variety of ear, nose, and throat disorders; my practice focuses on the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea through the spectrum of medical, surgical, and combination treatments. I have special interest in upper airway stimulation surgery (Inspire).

Care Philosophy
My goal is to provide high-quality, patient-centric care. I strive to help patients understand the "why" of treatment, along with the "how." I believe in treating patients in an individualized fashion to address the unique complexities and challenges each person may face through the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea.

Personal Interests
In my spare time, I enjoy running, hiking, and skiing- especially when I can share these activities with my wonderful husband, daughter, and goldendoodle.
