I am a board-certified Otolaryngologist with 35 years of experience in comprehensive Otolaryngology encompassing all areas of General ENT. I have a special focus in nasal disorders including the treatment of nasal obstruction, sinusitis, nasal polyps, deviated septum, loss of smell and the medical management of allergic rhinitis . I was a NIH-sponsored postdoctoral fellow with an emphasis on olfactory disorders at University of California, San Diego.
I believe working with each of my patients in a collaborative effort improves their health and overall quality of life. Trust and clear communication between the doctor and the patient is vital. Through the entire process, I try to ensure the patient has a clear understanding of the diagnosis and the proposed treatments so that they can make an informed decision. I strive to ensure that any fears are alleviated as much as possible and that the patient feels comfortable with the care they are receiving.
When I am not in the office, I spend my free time enjoying Colorado sports teams and am an avid fan of the Denver Nuggets!
