Biography:
As an otolaryngologist, nosebleeds (epistaxis) are a routine part of my practice. However, I have always been interested in the more challenging cases, and patients with HHT often are some of the most difficult to control. Since becoming interested in this population, I have dedicated time to researching various techniques and have several options for managing these troublesome nosebleeds. It is rewarding to be able to provide some relief in the severity of these bleeds. Since I sometimes am the first one to diagnose patients with HHT, I am familiar with the required screening recommended and our multi-disciplinary team can coordinate comprehensive care for a patient diagnosed with HHT.
My research interests extend to HHT as well, and we have a team dedicated to creating HHT cell lines and studying various treatment options to manage the effects of this disease.
