Duke Health Referring Physicians

I am an otolaryngologist, head and neck surgeon, and sinus specialist, with a special interest in diseases affecting the nose and sinuses, endoscopic sinus surgery and in-office sinus procedures, benign and malignant tumors of the nose, as well as diseases affecting the base of the skull that can be treated surgically using a minimally invasive technique. New technologies help us resect tumors that can be reached through the nostrils using an endoscope, especially tumors at the base of the skull, with no external scars, and a faster recovery. My philosophy consists of carefully listening to my patient’s symptoms and needs in order to identify the correct diagnosis and deliver optimal personalized management. Being a part of the Duke Health team allows me to provide my patients with top-notch care using cutting-edge therapies and research with the help of a multidisciplinary team consisting of colleagues I can trust and who share the same vision of excellence in care as I do. When I am not on the job or talking passionately about rhinology and skull base surgery, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, outdoor activities, soccer and tennis. I strongly believe in the mission of Duke Health in providing excellence in care to our patients and their loved ones using cutting-edge research and individualized treatment. I am humbled and inspired to be part of such a noble cause.
