Why Otolaryngology?
The complex anatomy and pathophysiology of head and neck disorders first sparked my interest in otolaryngology. I enjoy the variety of surgical cases and patient population. I most enjoy taking care of children, helping to improve their quality of life as well as how they communicate with the world.
Why UNC?
The Pediatric Otolaryngology Fellowship at UNC provides one of the most comprehensive experiences in pediatric head and neck surgery. It offers experience with all aspects of pediatric otolaryngologic care from outstanding faculty.
