With more than 25 years dedicated to the diagnosis and surgical management of complex ear and skull base disorders, this otolaryngologist serves as an expert witness in cases involving hearing loss, vestibular dysfunction, implantable hearing technology, and temporal bone pathology. His practice integrates advanced surgical intervention with evidence-based evaluation of auditory and balance disorders. His clinical practice focuses on complex hearing and balance conditions, including cochlear implants and other implantable hearing devices, tumors of the temporal bone and skull base, otosclerosis, cholesteatoma, chronic ear disease, and vestibular disorders. His surgical experience includes tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy, stapedectomy, cochlear implantation, and collaborative procedures for skull base tumor resection.

In addition to clinical practice, his research focuses on the molecular biology of hearing, auditory hair cell function, and the genetics of hearing loss, including cochlear gene therapy for genetic forms of hearing loss. He has served as a principal investigator on federally funded research examining auditory function and inner ear pathology. His academic leadership includes department chair and division director roles in otology, neurotology, and skull base surgery, with oversight of clinical and financial operations, and he has held editorial leadership within a peer-reviewed journal in otology and neurotology. He is a Doctor of Medicine, licensed to practice medicine in multiple states, and board certified in Otolaryngology with subspecialty certification in Neurotology.
