I care for patients with benign and malignant diseases of the head and neck as well as advanced
sinonasal disorders. Additionally, I treat many patients with general otolaryngologic
complaints.

My philosophy for patient care centers around education. I believe my role as your physician is
to give you the most accurate, up-to-date information regarding your condition to enable you
to make the best decisions possible concerning your healthcare. Additionally, I believe it is
essential to get to know my patients outside of their diagnosis. Understanding my patients’
social and physical situations improves my ability to help guide management strategies.

I am excited to bring new skillsets to Alaska and to provide world-class care to Anchorage and
the surrounding region. I’m committed to maintaining the highest surgical and medical
standards, and to continually educate myself to stay at the vanguard of patient care.

When not at work, I enjoy rock climbing, hunting, fishing and spending time with my wife and
daughter.
