About Me
I’m an otolaryngologist with a special interest in treating cancers of the head and neck, as well as facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. I also serve as an associate professor in Ohio State’s Department of Otolaryngology. I’m proud to have been named to the Castle Connolly list of “Regional Top Doctors” from 2014-2019 and was rated in the top 10 percent of physicians in the nation for patient satisfaction in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
As a member of the Molecular Carcinogenesis and Chemoprevention Program at the OSUCCC – James, I’m passionate about conducting cancer research. Recently, I’ve been part of studies on cancer stem cells, new ways of predicting the recurrence of head and neck cancers, and better ways of identifying behaviors that can lead to post-surgical complications.
What I appreciate most about being part of the OSUCCC – James is that it’s both a model for patient care and a leading research facility. It’s inspiring to know we’re advancing our knowledge of how to fight cancer in so many ways and improving the lives of each and every one of our patients, all at the same time.
I’ve been published in four textbooks and in many journals, including Journal of the American Medical Association, Annals of Diagnostic Pathology and others. In addition, I’ve been an invited lecturer or panelist at many conferences and workshops held by The Ohio State University and across the country.

I did not feel rushed or like I was just another annoying patient to see. I appreciated the time spent reviewing my history, doing an exam, and discussing my options.
My appointment started more than an hour late. When Dr Agrawal finally made it in, it felt rushed.
Awesome staff!!
There are no questions regarding treatment at this time as long as checkups are good. Quality of care score is due to continued wait time of 50+ minutes for physician after all other work has been conducted.
