As a Board Certified Otolaryngologist-Head and Neck Surgeon, I have been managing patients medically and surgically with problems in the area of Ear, Nose and Throat diseases for over 12 years. I treat both children and adults with diseases ranging from head and neck masses, chronic hoarseness, sinus disease and sleep apnea. I specialize in micro-phonosurgical treatment of vocal cord lesions, radical cancer surgery, advanced Endoscopic Sinus Surgery and pediatric surgery for recurrent ear infections and diseased tonsils and adenoids. I have recently taken a leave from private practice to train ENT residents in Israel at the HaEmek Medical Center. Throughout my practice the guiding principle has been respecting the patient?s right to make their own informed decisions. By educating the patient of their condition they will be able to fully participate in their medical care. |
