About

Biography

I'm a pediatric ear, nose and throat (ENT) physician specializing in pediatric otolaryngology head and neck surgery. I strive to help families understand the options for their child's care and, when available, develop a shared decision-making plan to find the best option for each individual.

My interest in this work stems from my being drawn to pediatric otolaryngology. I enjoy the prospect of improving the quality of a child's life and value the connections made with pediatric patients and their families. I was honored to be selected by my peers as one of Cincinnati's Top Doctors.

As a researcher, I'm particularly interested in airway abnormalities and patients with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) with or without esophageal atresia (EA). I aim to improve the quality of care for patients with TEF/EA.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs.
