About Me
I am an Otolaryngologist/Head and Neck Surgeon at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper. After completing residency at Thomas Jefferson University, I underwent an additional year of fellowship training at the Ohio State University’s prestigious James Cancer Hospital. This year, I focused on state-of-the-art treatment for head and neck cancer patients and advanced reconstruction.
I specialize in treating benign and malignant disorders of the throat, mouth, salivary glands, thyroid, skin and skull base, working daily alongside an excellent team that includes radiation oncologists and medical oncologists to create an individualized treatment plan for each patient. When surgery is needed, I always offer the latest surgical and reconstructive techniques to my patients if they are candidates. While treating cancer often has unintended side-effects related to impaired swallowing, speech or appearance, my team and I work with each patient to design a personalized oncologic and reconstructive plan to maximize their function and appearance after treatment.
When not in the hospital, I enjoy kayaking, fishing, and spending time outside with my wife and our corgi, Pebbles.
I see patients in our Camden and Voorhees offices.
