I’m a fellowship-trained, board-certified surgeon who treats head and neck tumors. I use the latest techniques, including robotic and laser surgery, to correct problems of the mouth, nose, throat, sinuses, neck and skull. These areas are vital to who we are and our quality of life.
It is my honor to support people during their fight against cancer. I always take time to listen to patients and support them as they heal and stay well over time. I also volunteer to offer quality head and neck care to people in need, including traveling to Uganda to provide free screenings and treatments. In addition to English, I speak Mandarin.
