I love caring for people. I view medical problems as challenges and find their resolutions very gratifying. I accomplish this best as a medical doctor by being your medical advocate - your well-being my chief concern.

Fixing problems in ears, noses, and throats (Otolaryngology) requires a broad and specific knowledge of many diverse areas in medicine including infectious diseases, allergy, endocrinology, age management, and surgery. My continuing interests in medical advances, training, knowledge, and experience both professionally and personally are drawn from and applied to each individual problem that I confront.  A recent advance in the area of Facial Plastic Surgery is my newest technique called Permanent Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty --

The latest techniques in the newest field in medicine - Age Management or Antiaging Medicine provide powerful new tools to prevent and treat disease.  In the realm of endocrinology - elevating a patient's metabolism by elevating thyroid hormone can improve a number of immunologic problems including allergies, recurring infections, autoimmune diseases, neuralgias, and skin problems.  This is done predominently by elevating your levels of the hormone T3 (triiodothyronine) - not T4 (which can be less effective).  Elevating one's metabolism can also result in significant anti-aging effects including reduced tiredness and coldness, and improvements in cognition, memory, and mood. Meniere's disease can be improved as well.  Supporting adrenal function and their hormones may be necessary as well. The pituitary's HGH (human growth and repair hormone can now be elevated without the use of expensive injecttons and by using advanced technology to formulate

a new successful secretogogue. 

One of the greatest and newest techniques to alleviate and prevent disease and inflammation (the core of all disease) is to increase intracellular levels of glutathione.  This 3 amino acid peptide which cannot be absorbed through the GI tract can be increased by taking a supplement  called Maxgxl, which has been proven to elevate intracelluar levels up to 400% and thus was awarded a compositional patent!  Maxgxl will reduce inflammation from allergies, autoimmune disease, and arthritis. It prevents oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA and  increases intracellular levels of ATP the energy currency of the cell.  Clinical improvements in energy level and mental clarity are the norm as well as its anti-inflammatory effects.  There are no adverse side effects.  I've been using Maxgxl and 2 other supplements to treat noise-induced and aging related hearing loss (presbyacusis) with success.
