Biography/Statement
I am a fellowship trained head & neck surgeon, specializing in all aspects of ablative head & neck surgery including microvascular reconstruction and trans-oral robotic surgery. I am a native of Long Island, New York and received my undergraduate degree in Speech & Hearing Sciences at Northwestern University. I then obtained my M.D. degree at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington, DC. From there I went on to complete my residency training in Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery at Northwestern University and a fellowship in Head & Neck Surgery and Microvascular Reconstruction at the University of California Davis.
I have a particular interest in treating advanced skin cancers of the head, face and neck. Additionally, microvascular and regional flap reconstruction of head & neck surgical and traumatic defects makes up a significant proportion of my current practice. I take great pride in educating not only my patients, but also medical students and our department’s resident physicians. Currently, I am assistant professor in the division of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery at Stony Brook University, where I also serve as residency program director.
