About

As Chairman of the Department of Otolaryngology at Loyola University Medical Center, I provide cutting edge Head and Neck Cancer Treatment as well as complex Head and Neck Surgery. I take a patient led approach where I facilitate the patient's goals and help make them reality. I believe that the patient should be in control of their own care. I perform the most complex cases in the region including head and neck cancer thyroid, skull base, plastic reconstruction, salivary gland and more. Patients are referred to me for a great outcome in a difficult case.

As Chairman, I strive to form and implement the most comprehensive and talented Otolaryngology Department in the country. I am very proud of all we have to offer, including treating the human spirit.
