About Me

As a board-certified and fellowship-trained otolaryngologist who subspecializes in rhinology, I treat conditions that affect the nose and sinuses. I am passionate about helping people find relief from their symptoms using both medical therapies and the most advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques available.

I enjoy getting to know patients from all walks of life and strive to meet patients where they are. I am deeply committed to ensuring that patients understand their diagnosis and treatment options. I believe that patients should feel empowered to make informed decisions about their health.

In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am a health policy researcher focused on promoting the safe and effective use of medical devices. My work has been published in The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and Nature Biotechnology, and featured in outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, CBS News, and Forbes.

My faculty position affords me the opportunity to work with our fantastic residents and medical students. Mentoring the next generation of surgeons and scholars is an especially rewarding part of my career.

I’m thrilled to practice at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center alongside respected experts in world-class facilities. Our staff is incredibly friendly and shares a deep commitment to providing the best care possible for our patients.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends and cheering on my beloved Ohio State Buckeyes.
