Welcome from the Chair

Welcome to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at Weill Cornell Medical College. Our outstanding faculty provide the full spectrum of modern Otolaryngologic care. In addition, we are proud of the academic and educational accomplishments of our faculty - who regularly participate in national and international meetings and programs. We are also fortunate to practice in one of the top-rated academic hospitals in the USA, and the top-rated hospital in New York City: NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.

We moved into beautiful new space in the Weill Greenberg Center in 2007, and although it was more than double the size of our previous space, we have already outgrown it. So we are excited about moving our growing and dynamic pediatric otolaryngology section into newly renovated space in the Oxford Building in September 2009. We will also have our second pediatric otolaryngology fellow beginning in 2010.

Under the leadership of Dr. Joseph Montano, our Hearing and Speech program is growing beyond expectations, including our cochlear implant program. We continue to add new faculty to our growing department, and all of our clinical programs - including allergy, head and neck, laryngology and voice, otology/neurotology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, sleep medicine, etc - are doing very well. Our department is the administrative home for the the Center for the Performing Artist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, which will be a new resource for the large performing artist community in New York City.

Together with Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, we sponsor an outstanding residency training program in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. With rotations at Columbia, Weill Cornell, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and St. Luke's-Roosevelt Medical Center, our residents receive comprehensive training and exposure to an enormous variety of patients and faculty.

Thank you for your interest in our Department.

Sincerely,
Michael G. Stewart MD, MPH
Professor and Chairman
