About Me
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.
