Why Choose Us for Head and Neck Surgery?

Comprehensive Care for Head and Neck Cancers

Our head and neck surgeons partner with specialists at our Head and Neck Cancer Center to provide exceptional treatment results. You have access to expert oncologists and radiologists, as well as supportive services like physical and speech therapy.

Specialized Skull Base Surgeries

Our head and neck surgeons partner with our highly skilled neurosurgeons to perform complex skull base surgeries. It takes specialized surgical skills and a team of experts to remove tumors that affect the skull base, which has critical nerves and blood vessels. Skull base surgeries help treat skull base tumors, pituitary tumors and meningiomas.

Minimally Invasive Head and Neck Surgeries

When possible, our surgeons use minimally invasive procedures to remove head and neck tumors. These procedures take place through small incisions using tiny instruments and cameras. Our team may also use robotic-assisted technology.

These advanced surgical approaches allow our surgeons to operate on small areas with greater precision. You have less pain and scarring, promoting an earlier return to daily activities.
