As a head and neck surgical oncologist, I am often meeting people at very stressful and uncertain times in their life. My goal is to work together with each patient to help them understand the diagnosis and treatment approach. I focus on treating all aspects of head and neck cancer, including cutaneous malignancy and endocrine pathology. I have a particular interest in microvascular reconstruction.
