Ricardo Cristobal, MD, PhD, is board-certified in both otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, and in neurotology, and skull base surgery. He proudly welcomes patients to his practice, Texas Ear Clinic, in Fort Worth, Texas.
Dr. Cristobal has been practicing full time in Fort Worth since 2008 and offers vast experience treating problems of the ear and skull base, including unilateral and bilateral hearing loss, chronically draining ears, balance disorders, facial nerve problems, and skull base tumors. He believes patients should take an active role in their treatment and takes time to educate them about their diseases. Dr. Cristobal actively engages and involves patients in all decisions throughout their care.
He completed a general surgery internship at the University of California, Los Angeles and subsequently graduated from the prestigious otolaryngology residency at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He then relocated to Houston, where he completed his Neurotology and Skull Base Surgery fellowship at the Baylor College of Medicine’s Bobby R. Alford Department of Otolaryngology.
Remaining in Los Angeles, Dr. Cristobal received his doctoral degree in Neurobiology from the University of California, Los Angeles. He also studied internationally, earning his medical degree from the University of Navarra School of Medicine in Pamplona, Navarra, Spain.
As Fort Worth's only full-time neurotologist, Dr. Cristobal holds specialized training in the inner ear and balance conditions.
When not treating patients, Dr. Cristobal focuses on his research. He is currently studying hearing outcomes with implantable hearing devices, as well as the management of sudden hearing loss.
Becoming an ENT/ facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon was a natural decision for me; I experienced firsthand the difference it makes in your life to have a skilled surgeon repair functional and cosmetic problems in the face and neck. After medical school, I came to Chicago to study otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat medicine) because I wanted to master the anatomy of the head and neck. I went on to complete an advanced fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and started practicing in Chicago.
My patients know that I really care about them and getting the best results for their individual needs. I don’t focus on getting a large number of patients; I’d rather be able to give every patient a lot of time and personal attention, from the detailed consultation to the procedure and follow up.
It’s an exciting time to be an ENT / facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. There are effective, safe new technologies and techniques that involve very little risk and quick recovery time. People don’t have to live with breathing poorly through their nose. I can do a 45-minute procedure that corrects a lot of nasal breathing problems, or combine that with rhinoplasty to achieve great functional and cosmetic results at the same time.
Dr. Dixon lives in downtown Chicago with his wife and three sons. He thinks that Chicago is the best big city in the country. In particular, he loves having so much to do, from jazz music to great restaurants within walking distance of home.
