Welcome from the Chair

Stanford has a decades long tradition of excellence in Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery.  A bit over four years ago, the university awarded OHNS status as an independent department.  With this transition came a generous package of resources designed to enable a period of rapid programmatic expansion.   I am proud to report that these resources have been put to good use.   Building upon the existing solid foundation, Stanford OHNS has grown to become one of the world’s premier programs in the field with broad strength across all clinical subspecialties areas as well as outstanding research and educational programs.
