I have been a practicing physician since 2007, including seven years at the University of Florida as an assistant professor, where I specialized in the removal of cancerous and non-cancerous tumors from the head and neck, which comprised approximately 70% of my practice. The remaining 30% was dedicated to general Ear, Nose, and Throat cases, encompassing allergies, sinus issues, thyroid and skin diseases, as well as ear drainage, hoarseness, and other conditions. I have co-authored 25 publications in the field of Head and Neck Oncology.

In 2014, I joined the Orlando Health UF Cancer Center to bring university-level expertise to the Orlando area. After four years, I transitioned to private practice to further refine my Ear, Nose, and Throat skills and to adopt a more comprehensive approach to patient care. This move allows me to practice outside of a corporate setting, thereby reducing hospital-associated costs, facilitating independent decision-making, and eliminating administrative and bookkeeping burdens. Ultimately, this approach enhances the quality of care I provide, ensuring a truly patient-centered experience.

In addition to my clinical work, I have been teaching since 2008 and have developed a unique teaching style that challenges young minds. Currently, I serve as a preceptor for Nova Southeastern University PA School, the University of South Florida College of Nursing (NP), UCF College of Medicine, and Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine.
