Personal Statement
As a former patient myself, I can still recall the feelings and emotions the first time I sat in the exam room of an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor's office. Now as a physician and surgeon, I bring this perspective to help me provide the best possible care to patients. I am enthusiastic about helping my patients learn about their health. I aim to be your child's advocate in being the healthiest and believe in a team approach to accomplish this goal. The greatest honor I have is to be entrusted to be your child's Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor.
