Our faculty are fellowship-trained in their specialty, and we cover all the sub-specialties in our field (otology, endocrine, head and neck, rhinology, laryngology, pediatric, vascular anomalies). In addition, our faculty consistently get high scores on our patient satisfaction ratings, with six of our faculty listed in Best Doctors in America. Our faculty also publish and present at a very high level, with several textbooks and dozens of peer-reviewed manuscripts published each year, along with numerous national and international presentations and invited lectureships given annually. In addition, many of our faculty have grant funding, and we have six endowed chairs to help fund research.
