Practice Priorities
Patients: "Our goals are to not only to cure head and neck cancer utilizing an individual patient approach, but to restore speech, swallowing and appearance with state of the art treatment."
Specialty: "At the UW medical center, head and neck cancer patients can receive the consensus of 10 or more professional opinions without having to go to10 different doctors. Our team discusses each patient’s diagnosis as well as physical and imaging findings. A comprehensive treatment plan is developed, including the best uses of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy."
