As both a physician and a surgeon, I utilize a collaborative philosophy to providing patient care. I am a strong proponent of using evidence-based medicine and stepwise plans in treating diseases of the head and neck. I am also a firm believer in patient-centered care with the idea that the patient and family are essential partners in determining and completing their most appropriate treatment. For many ear, nose and throat diseases a team approach is needed, and I strive to develop the clinical relationships needed for excellent, integrated care.

I am so blessed to be able to live and work in beautiful southern Colorado. I enjoy mountain biking and skiing as well as hiking with my dog, Pepper. I love to garden, but between the deer and the hail, I have not been very successful yet.

Clinical interest for patients

My clinical interests cover the spectrum of general otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) with an emphasis on surgical procedures. I have fellowship training in rhinology and facial plastic surgery with a focus on complex sinus disease, anterior skull base surgery, and nasal and facial procedures, including rhinoplasty and Mohs reconstruction.

Research interest for patients
