Clinical Interests

Pediatric and adult otologic and neurotologic surgery
Pediatric and adult cochlear implant surgery

What would you like your patients to know about you?

My primary clinical focus is cochlear implant surgery for infants, children and adults. I am studying outcomes following unilateral and bilateral cochlear implants in children and have a special interest in surgery for the malformed inner ear (large vestibular aqueduct, Mondini, common cavity.)

I am also Director of the Wilson Auditory Brainstem Implant program. Our program, the first of its kind in New England, is a multidisciplinary team of scientists, neurologists, surgeons, and audiologists based both at Mass. Eye and Ear and Mass. General. Auditory brainstem implants provide hearing for patients who are not candidates for cochlear implants, such as those with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2), scarred inner ears, or absent or damaged auditory nerves.
