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.
