My professional goal is to give the best possible and appropriate care to my patients. As an Otolaryngologist-Head and Neck Surgeon, my practice has evolved over the past 30 years to focus on minimally invasive surgery of the sinuses and skull base. It has been my honor to be among the first physicians in the United States to perform such surgeries and to train many of the physicians throughout the world. As the author of the first textbook on endoscopic sinus surgery, and subsequently five other related textbooks, on minimally invasive surgery, I have refined my medical and surgical practice to concentrate on the most timely and beneficial care for patients. To this end, I have also authored more than 150 articles on surgical and medical treatment, and I continue to train physicians yearly in all parts of the world.

My appointment was changed by the doctor's office. ZocDoc never caught up with the change and I continued to get reminders on the phone and email. I didn't like this result.
