Summary

  • As a dual fellowship-trained and dual board-certified otolaryngologist head and neck surgeon, I treat the spectrum of ENT pathologies, spanning the most common to the most complex problems facing pediatric patients. With fellowships in Complex Pediatric Otolaryngology and Otology/Neurotology, I have particular expertise at the intersection of advanced otologic disease and complex pediatric patients as well as advanced airway interventions. My complex pediatric otology experience includes chronic otitis media/cholesteatoma in patients with craniofacial changes, congenital hearing loss/cochlear implantation in altered anatomy (cochleovestibular anomalies), acquired hearing loss (stapedotomy, ossiculoplasty, and cochlear implantation in fibrosis/early ossification), extended approaches for acute mastoiditis, subtotal petrousectomy, and osseointegrated implants. I was a visiting professor to the Children's Hospital in Bydgoszcz, Poland, and collaborate with researchers around the US, Poland and Serbia. I led the first international consensus statement on perinatal airway obstruction (27 contributors, 8 countries) and direct the UW Fetal Diagnostic and Treatment Center's Perinatal Airway Program. As the director, I perform attended delivery, EXIT, FETO balloon removal, and postnatal treatment in the management of severe micrognathia/agnathia, fetal oral/head/neck/mediastinal masses, and CDH. My robust, collaborative research program aims to improve selection for delivery modification, and I am a PI in a multi-investigator, 50+ center prospective study linking prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal data to improve prediction. Under my leadership as director of the UW Medical Student Rotation in ENT, we had a record number of summer research fellows and visiting student rotators as well as increased UW ENT applicants. I sponsored 4 Shapiro research fellows (3 supported by T32 grants). One research mentee received the nationally-competitive Dr. David Kearney McDonogh Award.
