History
After completing Medical School training at the George Washington University, University of California, San Francisco, and Cambridge, University, England, I started an internship in General Surgery and Family Medicine. ENT training followed at The University of Maryland Hospital and Baltimore VA hospital under the direction of Johns Hopkins University. Next was fellowship with the author of ENT's standard textbook and the University of Minnesota. I accepted a full-time faculty position in ENT and Family Medicine at Georgetown University, rising to Associate Professor and leaving after 9 years when the University sold off the Medical Center. I am the only ENT in Montgomery County, MD with a true University Medical Center Faculty experience.After leaving Georgetown, I went into private practice and continue to have GWU (nurse practitioner) and Georgetown (medical) student in my office learning patient care and participating in research on advancing ENT and environmental influence on ENT
Specialties
I'm an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor by training, but it doesn't mean that all I treat is hearing loss, sinusitis and tonsillitis. My patients often have other long-term serious problems: Fatigue, Rashes, Acne, Neurological Impairment, even Cancer. Diagnosing the underlying cause of your ENT/Allergy symptoms sets my practice apart. Before removing tonsils or doing sinus surgery, I see what's causing that inflammation. Before prescribing an antibiotic, I'll take a culture. Whether your symptoms are tonsil swelling, sinusitis, ear infections, nasal obstruction, hearing loss, vertigo, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), masses/growths in the head and neck, I will determine underlying causes before recommending treatment. There is a reason for every ENT illness and standard treatment falls short in proper diagnosis before treatment.
