I've been a part of the Otolaryngology department at Boston Children's Hospital for over 20 years. I work in several multi-disciplinary teams, caring for children with complex disorders involving the larynx and airway. We feel that a coordinated team approach is most helpful for patients and families, and helps achieve the best possible outcomes.
