Meghan T. Turner, MD, FACS is a head and neck/skull base surgeon in the West Virginia University Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.  She has particular interest and expertise in robotic head and neck surgery and endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery.

Dr. Turner is a Virginia native and attended the University of Virginia for her undergraduate studies and obtained her medical degree from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine.  She completed her otolaryngology-head and neck surgery taining in residency at New York University School of Medicine in Manhattan, followed by two fellowships at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in advanced head and neck surgical oncology and in open and endoscopic skull base surgery.  She joined the faculty at WVU in 2017 and has developed a robotic head and neck surgery for oropharyngeal, laryngeal, minor salivary gland cancers, and skull base tumors.  She also performs remote-access approaches to the neck.
