About Me
I practice in otolaryngology, which focuses on ear, nose and throat health. I specialize in rhinology, an area of medicine emphasizing the nose and sinus conditions. My specialties include sinus surgery and endoscopic skull base surgery.My goal is to deliver therapy that is tailored to each individual patient. I believe in engaging each patient to achieve this goal. I seek to first identify an accurate diagnosis and then recommend the best form of therapy for that patient.
I enjoy the people I work with at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I appreciate the positive atmosphere and dedication to excellent patient care. These are qualities that are exhibited at all times at Ohio State.
When I'm not on the job I take time to relax with my family, attend Ohio State football games and enjoy the outdoors. I also really enjoy playing the guitar.

Dr. Otto is world class. I would trust him with my children or grandchildren.

Dr. Otto did a wonderful job coming up with a treatment plan to help my sinus issues and made himself available for any concerns or questions post op. For the first time in my life I can really breath through my nose. He was always funny and made the painful moments (Nasal Scopes) as quick as possible.

Dr. Otto and his staff are fantastic. I've sadly had my share of exposure to health care professionals in the past 10 years, so I have lots of doctors and staff to compare. Dr. Otto is thorough without being overly clinical and takes the time to listen AND answer all questions and concerns. His staff are equally attentive and I always feel like I'm in good hands.

Dr. Otto is an outstanding physician. I drove a distance of four hours to be his patient and he could not have been more understanding and accommodating of my situation. He put me at ease before my surgery with his friendly personality and excellent sense of humor.
