Faculty
The Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery is excited to welcome Jumin Sunde, M.D., to our Head and Neck Surgery Team. After earning his medical degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Sunde served both his internship and residency at UAMS. He was fellowship-trained in head and neck oncologic and microvascular surgery at the University of Michigan. Prior to returning to UAMS, he served as an assistant professor at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
Sunde will see patients in the Head and Neck Cancer Clinic in the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute. He joins fellowship-trained head and neck surgeons Mauricio A. Moreno, M.D.; Emre Vural, M.D.; Ozlem Tulunay Ugur, M.D.; and James Y. Suen, M.D., who are leaders in central Arkansas and contribute to research and surgical innovation on an international scale. Specifically, Sunde will complement the team’s work in advanced tumor removal by using newer techniques like robotics and microvascular reconstruction of complex head and neck issues in addition to traditional “open” surgery approaches.
