Overview


I am interested in multidisciplinary management of pediatric patients with an emphasis on minimizing anesthesia exposures and coordination of care.  I also focus on communication abilities including pediatric voice disorders working with voice therapists in the Duke Voice Care Center.  I enjoy congenital head and neck surgery as well as airway, endoscopic sinus and otology.  My research interests include collaborative projects with other disciplines and using technology to determine surgical outcomes.
