After more than 40 years of extensive surgical experience in all types of tumors in the head and neck — including mouth, throat, larynx, sinuses, skull base, thyroid, salivary glands, skin, soft tissues, and bone tumors — I now no longer perform surgery. However, I do provide consultations to patients to discuss treatment options, the pros and cons of various surgical approaches, as well as non-surgical treatments, and the expected outcomes in terms of tumor control and quality of life.
I will then provide recommendations and referrals to the most appropriate specialist for their specific problem. Such consultation permits the patient to make an informed decision regarding their treatment at MSK.
