I practice head and neck surgical oncology with a patient-centered, team approach. I believe in listening to patients and guiding treatment based on their wishes coupled with an evidence-based approach. My skills include traditional open approaches to benign and malignant tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract, skin, salivary glands, sinuses and thyroid as well as minimally invasive procedures including transoral robotic surgery (TORS), transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) and salivary endoscopy.
