I enjoy all aspects of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, but I have a particular interest in head and neck reconstruction following major cancer surgery or trauma. I am also interested in functional and aesthetic nasal surgery. My approach to patient care is to establish a cooperative relationship where the patient and I work as a team to achieve their health goals. When not at work, I enjoy cycling and food-based fermentation projections including breadmaking and cheesemaking.
