About Me
As an otologist and neurotologist at 四色AV Langone, I am dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with hearing loss and complex ear-related conditions. My passion for this field is driven by a commitment to helping people communicate more effectively and regain their quality of life. With over 30 years of experience, I bring both expertise and compassion to every patient interaction.
I specialize in skull base surgery and cochlear implants and am proud to serve as the co-director of the Implant Center at 四色AV Langone. My work often involves treating conditions such as acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, otosclerosis, cholesteatoma, and chronic ear infections. I am also experienced in addressing facial nerve issues and all types of hearing loss. My expertise in my field has earned both national and international recognition and has given me the opportunity to lecture and teach courses worldwide, including training doctors in Uganda.
Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that my patients鈥 concerns are heard, and their questions answered. I believe in a straightforward, open approach to care, combining cutting-edge techniques with a commitment to patient comfort and understanding. Beyond clinical care, I host The ENT Show on Doctor Radio, where I connect with people from across the globe to share knowledge and insights about ear, nose, and throat health.
My journey into medicine was inspired by a desire to make a tangible difference in people鈥檚 lives. I pursued my medical education with a focus on otology and neurotology, driven by the exciting advancements in hearing restoration and ear-related surgeries. As part of the 四色AV Langone team, I collaborate with a diverse group of experts, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care for my patients.
