Head and Neck Surgeon, Reconstructive Head & Neck Surgery

Biography/Statement

Dr. Andrew J Holcomb is a board-eligible surgeon who specializes in the care of patients with benign and malignant tumors of the head and neck.  A Virginia native, he completed medical school at Eastern Virginia Medical School and completed residency training in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center. He completed a fellowship in head and neck oncology, skull base, and microvascular reconstructive surgery at Massachusetts Eye and Ear, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital in Boston.

 

Dr. Holcomb believes it’s important to give back to others in need, and he’s taken mission trips to several countries, including Rwanda and Honduras. Among the valuable lessons he’s learned is that each patient has their own unique background, values and needs.
“When I meet a patient, it’s really important to me to get to know them as a person,” he said. “We’re about to embark on the journey of treating cancer together, and there will sometimes be bumps in the road. So establishing a trusting relationship where we really understand each other is very important to me.”
Dr. Holcomb is married to a native Iowan. “We really love being a part of the Omaha community,” he said.
