About me
Although I have lived in several states, I consider both Georgia and Texas to be home. I completed my undergraduate studies at Emory University, where I majored in neuroscience and behavioral biology. I then earned my medical degree from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, followed by residency training in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at Emory University.
I chose to become a surgeon because I enjoy working with my hands and connecting with new people each day. I am especially drawn to the intricate anatomy of the head and neck, as well as the wide range of medical and surgical conditions treated in this area. It is a field that constantly challenges and inspires me.
About my practice
I am board certified in otolaryngology - head and neck surgery, also known as ear, nose, and throat (ENT). I care for patients both in the clinic and in the operating room, managing a wide range of head and neck conditions. My clinical interests include chronic sinus disease, as well as thyroid and parathyroid disorders. I am committed to delivering high-quality care that respects each patient's values and preferences.
At Kaiser Permanente, I am proud to work alongside a dedicated ENT team that prioritizes patient safety and excellence in care. I stay current with advancements in the field by attending professional conferences, including those hosted by the Metro Atlanta Educational Society for Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. I have also served as a board member of this organization, supporting continuing medical education and contributing to the broader otolaryngology community.
How I thrive
I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially with my family. I love to stay active by exploring the Beltline on the weekends, walking nature trails, and hiking around the city.
