David W Jang
Assistant Professor of Surgery

My clinical expertise is in diseases of the nose, sinuses, and skull base. I perform endoscopic sinus surgery, nasal airway surgery, and minimally invasive endonasal surgery of the pituitary and skull base. My research interests are quality-of-life outcomes in chronic sinusitis and endoscopic anatomy of the central skull base.
