Stuart Selkin, MD, JD, FACS

Sure. But as a Board Certified Ear, Nose, & Throat Specialist, Dr. Selkin is specifically trained—and certified—to diagnose and treat your ear, nose, sinus, voice, and throat problems thoroughly and efficiently.

Dr. Selkin routinely uses flexible and rigid fiberoptic scopes and a Zeiss surgical microscope that enhance his three-dimensional perspective and magnify what he sees. They let him easily see what are often the hidden regions in your ears, nose, sinus openings, vocal cords, and throat.

And when he diagnoses and treats you, Dr. Selkin will never rush. He’ll always give you the time, the care, and the attention that you deserve.

Here’s where he got his education and did his specialty training:
