About Me

Joined MetroHealth: 1999
Academic Affiliations: Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine

I’m a board-certified otolaryngologist and Professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. I grew up in Cleveland, attended Strongsville High School, and have been proud to care for patients in my hometown since joining MetroHealth in 1999.

My practice focuses on a wide range of nasal and sinus conditions, including sinus surgery, septoplasty, functional septorhinoplasty, turbinate reduction, tear duct surgery, and septal perforation repair. I also treat inhalant allergies and perform sleep apnea procedures—including tonsillectomies for children—as well as general ear, nose, and throat care.

I completed my fellowship in rhinology and allergy at the University of Chicago and trained at the Cleveland Clinic. I’m fluent in German and Polish, and I believe in clear communication, personalized care, and helping patients breathe, sleep, and live better.

I have published on sinus surgery, allergy, septal perforation repair, and empty nose syndrome.

Dr. Steven Houser, um, has answered all my questions. He's been very professional, very honest. I am about to know two and a half weeks post op, so I'm still in the healing process. And so hopefully everything continues to heal over the next several weeks. But yes, I would at this point, highly recommend him to others in need of ENT service.
