About Me
I am an otolaryngologist at Memorial Healthcare System, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, and throat disorders, as well as head and neck surgery. I’m board-certified in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery and focus on providing high-quality, patient-centered care both in the office and the operating room. My expertise includes general ENT procedures, and I’m particularly passionate about expanding sleep surgery options for sleep apnea, including Inspire therapy.
Beyond patient care, I enjoy taking on leadership roles and building connections within the medical community. Volunteering to help provide care to underserved communities worldwide is also a deeply meaningful part of my career. I volunteer on a surgical mission to Malawi, Africa with the Madgy Malawi Foundation and serve as a preceptor to ENT residents in Malawi. I’ve also done volunteer work in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Nepal.
Before joining Memorial, I practiced in Cape Cod, Massachusetts and held a position on the Cape Cod and Islands Physician Council dedicated to promoting the well-being of physicians and health professionals. Outside of work, I love staying active with running, yoga, and water sports like scuba diving and surfing. I also enjoy traveling with my significant other and our two dogs whenever we get the chance.
