As an Associate Professor of Otolaryngology at UCSF Health, I teach, research, and practice pediatric otolaryngology, with a focus on surgery and medical devices. I have over 8 years of experience in this field, including one year as an attending surgeon at The Brooklyn Hospital Center. I hold a M.D. degree from The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences and a Bachelor's degree from Colgate University. I have also developed multiple patents for innovative devices and methods that improve the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, and throat conditions in children. My core competencies include clinical excellence, academic leadership, and patent strategy. I am passionate about advancing the knowledge and practice of pediatric otolaryngology, and improving the health and quality of life of my patients.
